The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Looking for software that would provide online event registration and possibly product sales, any ideas?

Asked by sscal in WebApplications, MySQL Server, Programming for ASP.NET

Tags: , ,

Hello there, I am not sure this is a good place to ask this or not, but here it goes. I have come across a few products that provide what I am looking for but not one that has a reasonable price tag.

I have compiled a few of the features we are hoping that this software may be able to provide to us. I will list the general need and then some of the features under that which we would love to be able to do.


Event Registration Online

have clients and non clients register online and base the price on client vs. non-client fee
have clients that register online for one of our workshops the first 3 attendees are at the regular price,    any attendees over 3 receive a lower price.
be able to have multiple addresses for clients that register online in the database i.e.: a shipping and billing address separate
online billing for the events with a credit card OR be able to get a comma delimited file(or excel file) output with specific info in it sent to our MAS90 integrator for billing of paper invoices
have the imported file to our MAS90 account software contain city and or zip info for tax purposes on the sale
total reports for how much was billed for an event
being able to break these reports down into as much detail as possible is also nice

Products online

same type of features as in the events online
sales tax breakdowns for city shipped to
where they are getting shipped (city info)

Central database

the need to modify this database as people register to prevent duplicate entries
edit the clients information as they register or register for another workshop OR edit info if they send us a mailing about an address change
have our users  be able to log in one at a time is fine to update client information
mass emailing of notices of upcoming events and other information to clients in the databases
breaking this down further to have clients be able to be flagged as belonging to certain groups for the purpose of separating the mailings
print labels for mailings from the database
 
Also for accounting purposes to have some sort of Batch total report so we can compare and make sure what was billed paper invoice from our accounting software matches what should have been billed according to the total inputted into the database for an event or product sold per time period.

This is pretty much all of it that we need or some modified form of it that we can work with. I have yet to see any software that can meet ALL our needs so it will be interesting to see what suggestions the experts have for us and what type of costs are associated with that software.

Also the products looked at so far have been iMIS and EventRegister (Thriva product) which offer some or all of the features but at a higher cost then what is preferred. Starting to think it would be easier to develop this inhouse but would love to hear opinions and ideas for a solution to this if appropriate.Start Free Trial
