Revenue generating Banners: The Web and Mobile app has two separate banners. The login page banner is for the the Diocese while the Homepage banner is for each Parish. Banners are in great demand for commercial advertisements, memorable such as Birthdays, Anniversaries, and other events. Both Parish and Diocese can generate additional revenue through these banners.

Customized for each Diocese: The software is customised for each Diocese and Denomination like their own software. A Diocese can decide what they want and what they don't want in the system. It is implemented independently for each Diocese with their name, logo, domain and unique identity.

Assisted Migration: For Dioceses and Parishes who wish to migrate from their existing system to Parishinfo, we provide free assisted migration support, wherever possible

Step-by-step Implementation: A Diocese can start with the Curia software module and extend to Parishes as and when required. Similarly, a Parish can also start with the stand-alone Parish Module and integrate with co-parishes or with the Diocese at any stage.

Communication & Media Platform: The Mobile App and its benefits are designed to ensure members use it regularly. For the Church, the App becomes a much needed last-mile connectivity for real-time communication, during disasters, calamities and to effectively counter motivated media propaganda and rumours.

Real-time Communication: The prevailing weekly communication has become irrelevant with the advent of real-time communication. Communications are no more memorised but accessed as and when required. This is the paradigm shift with mobile technology. The Church needs to occupy its space there! Parishinfo has built-in Email, SMS, Call, Whatsapp and Push Notifications for communication with Families, Groups, Students, Priests, Functionaries as well as Everyone in the Diocese instantly

There shall be a 5% increase (per year) from second year to take care of inflation and exchange rate fluctuation.

Recovering cost: The mobile app has two separate banners. One for the Diocese and one for each Parish. Diocese and Parishes can release their advertisements, events, remembrance and memorable through these banners and easily generate revenue more than the cost of software.
