Wild Apricot constantly evolves based on your feedback

No software is ever perfect. Industry regulations change, smart people come up with new ideas, new technologies enable us to do things never possible before. Recognizing this, we apply a unique development approach to Wild Apricot software - so-called 'Agile development methodology'. This approach ensures the ongoing, continual improvement of our software to match your needs - better and better, saving your more time and making you more and more efficient.

The way it works is that we define our road map for the year - key features and innovations. Then we have a long 'Master list' of all changes and improvements designed by our team - or requested by our clients. Every few weeks this list is reviewed and revised based on how frequently a particular change is requested - and how much benefit does it bring to users (in terms of time savings and convenience). Then we firm up the list for our next release - and move ahead with design, development and testing.

This also means that we retest our software - the whole system - every few weeks and constantly review and clean up the code. This ensures a secure, well-performing system, even as our client base grows faster and faster. In the last 12 months we only had 20 minutes of unscheduled downtime with our server (out of 525,948 minutes in the whole year!!).

This approach means that your feedback is acted upon - so we always love to hear from you, even (especially!) when something is not working right or missing from the system to meet your needs.

This process has proven itself over the last 12 months as we have released 22 updates (releases) to our software! And each update was completely transparent to our clients as their accounts were updated automatically.
