Mobile Apps Overview


The ChamberMaster/MemberZone Mobile App Suite features convenient mobile applications developed for your staff and your members. All of the apps were designed with one common goal in mind – to help your organization engage anywhere, anytime from any device.

ChamberMaster/MemberZone Staff App


The mobile companion for ChamberMaster and MemberZone users that provides real-time membership information no matter where you are. The Staff App helps make your member visits more substantive and meaningful – you can see at a glance if they’re signed up for your upcoming event or when you last sent leads their way. The Staff App is for your staff to use while on the road. It does not replace the full product – rather it is a companion product giving your team access to information when remote. Apps are downloaded to your smartphone and can access certain aspects of your ChamberMaster/MemberZone database.

Available for iOS and Google Play Store devices. ChamberMaster and GrowthZone users can download the app for staff, log in using their current credentials, and begin using it immediately.

Important:
  • Only readers without manufacturer key-injection are compatible with GrowthZone/ChamberMaster Apps.

Pairing the VP3300BT

  • Make sure Bluetooth is turned on, on your mobile device. You should see the little Bluetooth symbol at the top of your phone’s screen. If you don’t, go into the settings to enable it.
  • IMPORTANT With Android devices, the IDTech VP3300 BT must be paired with their mobile devices when NOT plugged in. It must only be using the bluetooth connection when the pairing occurs. After that, the reader can be plugged into a USB connection if desired (which would be the case if you were charging the device).
  • VP3300BT will stay connected to the host indefinitely (via Bluetooth) if powered via the USB cable. If the unit is operating on battery power, it will go to sleep after 20 seconds of idling, to extend battery life. To perform a transaction again, simply press down on the Bluetooth function button to re-establish the Bluetooth connection.

Do you have any tips on making sure my blue tooth mobile device and the VP3300BT are able to pair with each other?

  • Make sure the two devices are in close enough proximity to one another. While you wouldn’t think someone might try to pair an iPad with a keyboard if the two weren’t sitting right next to each other, it’s probably worth noting that you should make sure any devices you're trying to pair are within five feet of one other.
  • Power the devices off and back on. A soft reset sometimes can resolve an issue. With phones, an easy way to do this is by going into and out of airplane mode.
  • Remove old Bluetooth connections. If you're having trouble pairing your phone with the reader, it could be because the you phone is trying to connect to an old device. Some older devices are very simple. They just try to connect with the last thing they paired with. If a Bluetooth device was previously paired with something else, turn off that other gadget. And if you are no longer planning on using that other gadget, unpair it from your Bluetooth device to prevent future issues. In iOS settings, you can remove a device by tapping on its name and then Forget this Device. In Android settings, tap on a device’s name, then Unpair. After removing a device, start at step 1 above. You can also reset Bluetooth on devices that can pair to more than one device. This clears all pairings from the device so you can start fresh. Search "reset" device name to instructions from the manufacturer.
  • Charge up both devices you're trying to pair. Some devices have smart power management that may turn off Bluetooth if the battery level is too low.
  • Delete a device from a phone and rediscover it. If your phone sees a device but isn’t receiving data from it, sometimes it helps to start from scratch. In iOS settings, you can remove a device by tapping on its name and then Forget this Device. In Android settings, tap on a device’s name, then Unpair. After removing a device, start at step 1 above.
  • Move away from the Wi-Fi router. Another potential obstacle to successful pairing is interference from devices that use the same spectrum, such as your Wi-Fi router. Wi-Fi has been designed to cope with this, but it might not be a good idea to have your devices directly on top of the router.
  • Move away from a USB 3.0 port. Interference from USB 3.0 is also possible. Newer laptops, for example, often have the higher-speed USB 3.0 port, so if the connection isn't happening, try pairing your Bluetooth gadgets away from the computer.
  • Make sure the devices you want to pair are designed to connect with each other. Whether it’s a headset, speaker, mouse, keyboard, camera or something else, your device has a specific profile that spells out what it can connect with. If you’re not sure, check the user manual.
  • Update the hardware’s firmware. If you’re not sure how to get the latest firmware for your hardware, check with the device manufacturer.
  • Limit data shared between devices. Android and Windows devices let you choose the information you share between devices. So, for instance, you can choose to share phone audio, media audio, contacts and text messages with your car. If you don't need to share all of the data, deselecting one or more of the types of information may enable the devices to pair. For Android devices, go to Settings > Bluetooth and select the device. If there are options to select, they will appear. For Windows, go to Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Devices and Printers and right click on the Bluetooth device in question. Then select the Services tab to choose which types of information to share.
  • Clear the Bluetooth cache (Android only). Sometimes apps will interfere with Bluetooth operation and clearing the cache can solve the problem. Go Settings > Backup and restart > Reset network settings.

VP3300BT FAQ's

  • Does it matter what mobile device I use as along as the device supports bluetooth? You can use any device that supports bluetooth. The VP3300 works with all blue tooth devices including the BLE (BlueTooth Low Energy).

Staff Apps FAQs


MemberPlus: An App for Your Members


A free mobile app is available to all members of associations that use ChamberMaster or GrowthZone software. By providing your members with a Chamber mobile app, your Chamber is offering so much more than easy, direct access to your Chamber office.

Mobile apps, downloadable on any Apple or Android mobile phone or tablet, create a brand new multimedia channel for retaining and engaging your members, especially those who already are active mobile users.

While people of all ages use mobile apps, a mobile member app will often appeal to younger members. However, even older members appreciate the ease of using a mobile app on their smartphones or tablets.


There’s no additional cost to your association or your members. The MemberPlus app is available in both the iTunes and Google Play stores. It’s designed for your members, much like the ChamberMaster/GrowthZone Staff app was designed for you to use. Essentially we wanted to create an easier way for your members to update their personal and company information, register for events, interact with other members, access the Resource center (where you can upload documents and links for all or groups of members), etc…

MemberPlus App Flyer to Share with Your Members


Encourage your members to use the MemberPlus App. Download this flyer and share with your members.

Download the App


MemberPlus Features


The top five essential features of a mobile member app are:

  1. Push notifications from your Association/Chamber to members
  2. The ability for members to update their own profiles, contact information
  3. The opportunity to connect with other members
  4. The ability to register, pay, and check-in for events and other Association/Chamber activities
  5. Easy access to post and view jobs, hot deals, and member-to-member specials

Tips for Rolling out the MemberPlus App


As you roll it out to members, we suggest adding the direct links to the MemberPlus app download pages in the iTunes app store and Google Play store.

It does require that the member have a rep login to access it so you might want to send out an email with their rep logins merged in – just in case they forgot it. Which is exactly why this is so cool, once they download it, they can click the “remember me” option and it’s so much easier to use than going out to a website and trying to remember logins.

Have your staff and board members download it right away and make some posts in the social feed so as soon as members log in, they already see activity and can “like” or add posts of their own. Perhaps have your staff post a question so that members have something to respond to easily. Sometimes it just takes an easy example to get them started. There’s an icon in the upper right corner of your database called “MIC”. You can click on that to login with staff level access. You’ll be able to add posts and as staff, there’s a delete post option icon next to each post, should you ever need to remove a post that was made in error.
