Case Study: Parts and Crafts achieves streamlined registration, centralized finances and major time savings with Amilia

A New Software Solution for Parts & Crafts Customers and Admins

Parts and Crafts is a Somerville, MA makerspace for kids that grew from a summer camp into a year‑round program serving roughly 450 children with camps, after‑school programs, workshops and parties. As the organization expanded, administrative work became scattered across staff and Excel sheets, and tracking flexible payment arrangements became time‑consuming and error‑prone; Eventbrite didn’t provide the financial visibility they needed, so they began searching for a single, affordable solution.

Co‑director Zach chose Amilia after a 30‑day trial and centralized registrations, payments and participant data in one system. Amilia’s online registration, financial reports, attendance lists and donation tools eliminated manual tracking, saved staff hours, and improved customer experience—Parts and Crafts now manages 483 member accounts and over 3,100 invoices without extra admin time, with more than 90% of payments processed online (80% credit card, 12% e‑check, 8% cash/check).
