               include:

               Standard visitor invitations and bookings
                   -   This includes delivery booking,
                      regulars and group bookings. If you
                      haven’t already started using the code
                      generation system to invite your visitors
                      and for deliveries, start now! It is a game
                      changer, trust me.

               Emergency
                   -   This is by far my favourite. Each member
                      can add his or her emergency contacts,
                      who will be notified and have access to
                      the live location of the member calling
                      the emergency. There is a crime, medical,
                      fire and other emergency option.

               Classifieds
                   -   Members can post goods they are
                      selling or looking for under a few
                      categories, including goods, services,
                      and a charity section. This is a great
                      way to reach the whole community
                      who may not be on the WhatsApp or
                      Facebook groups. If you have been
                      on one of those groups before, some
                      important recommendations or goods
                      for sale easily get lost in the rest of the
                      community messages. This is going to
                      solve that problem in no time.
