Knowing that once we add a player to a team and submit the payment schedule to the application, Groundwork emails the families to approve the payments and add their credit card/banking information. The application also reminds the families when a payment fails. Most of the time the families update their information to resubmit the payment with out any interaction from our staff\! > > **Cons**: It may just be the level of service that we have, but all of our administration is done through one account. We have multiple club directors and others individuals with financial access in our organization but we haven't been able to get each user separate credentials to access the Groundwork Administration page. It's not ideal from this perspective but we are making it work. > > We are extremely happy with Groundwork Team Payments. We currently have 80% of our club fees and registration payments being entered in Groundwork and we are exploring ways to migrate even more of those other payments over. The customer service is top notch. The team has provided me with answers to all of the questions I have had in an extremely timely manor. ----- ### "Great product\!" — 5.0/5 > **Jennifer** | *9 August 2018* | Sports | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Our company enjoys how easy it is to take online payments from our club players. The setup is so easy and user friendly > > **Cons**: I wish that we could personalize emails that go out to the parents when we first set them up. > > Wonderful customer service, easy to use and this is the best product we have used\! ----- ### "Improving client experience" — 4.0/5 > **Jordon** | *18 November 2022* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: We love the aesthetic improvement that Groundwork provides. We appreciate how easy it was to set up and use. The Groundwork team was helpful and answered all of our questions. > > **Cons**: We haven't found anything about Groundwork that we do not like. ----- ### "Groundwork Has Been Great For Us" — 4.0/5 > **Monty** | *12 May 2019* | Sports | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Groundwork allows my organization to stay very organized and on top of payments. > > **Cons**: Would like more features that are detailed for each player. More flexibility on setting up payments. Option to use money through the account instead of transferring. > > The staff is always quick to respond and very helpful. ----- ### "As a Team Manager, Groundwork makes my life easier\!" — 5.0/5 > **Laura** | *9 May 2019* | Sports | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The ability to track past due payments and send reminders to team members has been a lifesaver. I know that we have had a much better track record of getting payments in a timely manner. Our players love the ability to have a monthly, predictable payment. > > **Cons**: I would like to be able to bulk edit individual player payments as well as track and leave notes when I adjust a payment amount. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.com.au/software/113585/groundwork?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.com.au/software/113585/groundwork) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-MX | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | ----- ## Structured Data
