Case study: National Osteoporosis Society
The National Osteoporosis Society is the only national charity dedicated to improving the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of this fragile bone disease. In the United Kingdom, one in two women and one in five men will break a bone, mainly because of osteoporosis.
The National Osteoporosis Society have started with comprehensive website and commerce functionality, with plans to integrate their entire membership and marketing systems with Engino.
Key feature: Integrated membership form
Using the Engino form-builder, administrators have complete flexibility to add whatever fields they wish to a bespoke form/survey/questionnaire, then set the form as "commerce-enabled" and place whatever products they wish also on the same form. This process can be used for a range of purposes, including online membership join-up.
When an Engino-created membership form is submitted:
- The person is registered in the system
- An order is created for back-office processing / export
- The person is automatically placed in the appropriate group or groups - "Professional member", for example
- The complete form submission is available for back-office processing / export
The above information can then be processed immediately using Engino's own features, or exported/integrated with a third-party database system.

Key feature: Integrated commerce
Engino includes advanced commerce features that seamlessly integrate "website" and back-office sales processes. As well as the commerce-enabled forms described above, we also have online shops for the sale of products and events.
These commerce features sit comfortably within your website, so giving your users a seamless browsing experience, and the shops are administered using processes very similar to those with which you will already be familiar.
In the case of the NOS, they use Engino to sell their publications online.
As in all cases with Engino, these orders can then be processed entirely within the system, or exported to a third-party system. Engino can also be used to take and process "offline" orders via phone or post etc.
