The association app for the board, groups, projects and members
Associations/clubs are a highly vibrant organism made up of committed volunteers, active and passive members who are organised into groups and sub-groups within the association.
They are dependent on a functioning flow and exchange of information. After all, common goals can only be achieved if the cohesion within the association is intact and the work involved does not have to be carried out by the few volunteers alone.

Strengthen cohesion and ensure greater commitment
Choosing the right digital tool can help organisations to make it easier for everyone to work together, strengthen cohesion and promote commitment. Inclusion through active exchange not only provides the association management with a good basis for decision-making, it also signals appreciation and creates a strong sense of unity.

Share work and relieve individuals
mantau increases productivity and efficiency. Simply by distributing tasks across many shoulders. An overview, organisation, transparency and a focus on one communication channel help the stakeholders in particular and reduce their workload.
Promote commitment & make volunteering attractive
Smooth, good cooperation that creates meaning and is satisfying also promotes commitment and makes voluntary work attractive.
Gain new members, fill positions better
In terms of their own future, clubs can use modern digital working methods and club communication to attract new members, especially young people.
GDPR-compliant alternative to WhatsApp groups
No more annoying chat groups. The exchange remains clear and is no longer exhausting even with many participants. mantau is a good alternative to WhatsApp, but without revealing personal data such as telephone numbers or e-mail addresses.
Association work and communication on a new level
Up-to-date information, an active exchange and the digital, clearly organised availability of appointments and documents are the key to productive cooperation and fun engagement.

Good communication is the key to success.
Without a centralised, in-house solution, the flow of information is usually poor and communication is disorganised across too many channels. Stakeholders and members are difficult to reach and messenger groups are often chaotic, with different topics being discussed in confusion. Important information is then lost in the flood of emails and WhatsApp messages in a single group.
In mantau, the exchange takes place clearly organised in groups that can be further subdivided according to topics and members.
Organise groups according to members and topics
WhatsApp groups in clubs are not transparent and make it difficult for new members to find access and connections, also because no chat history is visible to new participants. The club management has little influence on the type and number of WhatsApp groups and who "administers" them.
Within mantau, the roles can be defined analogue to the actual role in the club and groups can be structured according to participants and topics, depending on the purpose, for a better overview for everyone. New members see the chat history and can be integrated more easily. New volunteers can familiarise themselves more easily.
Documents and photos always available centrally for everyone
Shared documents, e.g. statutes, rules, minutes and much more, can be made permanently available within groups. Photos of events, honours, competitions or teams can also be shared or permanently stored in mantau.
Ideal e.g. for public relations work, for documentation - or simply for fun. Advertising officers in clubs will be pleased to know that photos can be stored in their original size on request and are not necessarily compressed.
Digitise forms - design smooth processes
The universal form construction kit makes it easy to create digital forms, e.g. for orders, course registrations, data queries, accident and damage reports, participant registrations, to-do and shopping lists, surveys, votes and much more, in order to organise internal club processes smoothly, simply and in a structured manner for both the club management and the members.
The results can be analysed, exported to Excel - or simply archived. Meeting minutes can also be created using the form tool.
Examples: Accident and damage report forms
In the event of accidents and damage, club insurers require certain complete details. With mantau forms, the information can be easily requested and digitally forwarded to insurance companies - with little effort for the club administration and the members. The responses can be exported - and archived for documentation purposes.
Example: Jointly maintaining booking plans for sports halls or sports fields
Who occupies the sports field or gym and when requires regular coordination and the preparation, maintenance and distribution of schedules. In the traditional way, this can be a time-consuming task that someone has to take on centrally.
A digital booking plan in mantau, on the other hand, can be maintained collaboratively by all those involved, e.g. club teams and schools - and can be made available at any time.
Example: Digital time recording for billing working hours
Trainers and instructors can use mantau to record the time they have worked on a mobile device or at home via notebook and transfer it digitally to the treasurer.
Example: Jersey order form in mantau
Internal orders for jerseys, costumes or other sports equipment can be easily organised. Simply use the form builder in mantau.
Manage shared and personal events
All of your groups' joint events are always clearly visible to everyone involved. With acceptances and rejections - as well as a useful results overview. Save yourself tedious evaluations of feedback in chat histories.
Ideal for competitions, performances, training dates, meetings, events and much more. Best of all, events can be easily exported to your own device calendar. So nothing is forgotten.

It was important for us to find a communication platform for our association work that was easy to use and at the same time compliant with data protection laws. We were able to create association groups and sub-groups very well. The organised file storage within the groups is very practical and enables us to easily organise recurring events. In addition, we particularly like to use the appointment function with the option to cancel or add events. It's great that the support is always easy to reach and reacts immediately when we have questions.
We are active with different groups in the association and with mantau we are able to get the different communication streams under control. We use the app for our daily board work and for planning the carnival season with a total of 5 major events. It is very helpful for everyone to be able to network with just one app in such a large association with almost 500 members.
A great example that saved us a lot of work was the order form for our parade costumes: everyone could use it to select their costume in their size and order it internally, and the app then gave us the finished shopping list. mantau also works very well for our dance groups. The currently more than 150 dancers in 8 groups have replaced their WhatsApp groups, now plan their training sessions in mantau and use it to organize their annual show dance tournament together.

We are pleased that we have found a suitable solution with mantau, which helps all our groups including helpers, parents, coaches and trainers with coordination, appointments and communication about our work, so that we can concentrate on the essentials.
The group diary is particularly important for swimming training. Parents can see all the dates at a glance. The coaches always know how many children will be attending the training session thanks to the acceptances and cancellations. Short-term changes and notifications of all kinds can be distributed to everyone at the click of a button via the messages.
