Our name is changing to Scrip Manager!

March 22, 2011

Manna Manager is starting it’s seventh successful year and we thank you for your support. We have a few significant changes coming this year including a new version of our software as well as a name change.

Manna Manager started 7 years ago serving the Chicagoland area. The Manna in Manna Manager’s name was chosen as it was the most used name for scrip programs at the time. In the past few years we have expanded to include schools and organizations across the country. The majority of these schools and organizations use the term ‘scrip’ for their fundraising programs. In order to better align our software with this national standard we are changing the name of Manna Manager to Scrip Manager.

The new website is scripmanager.com and is currently active. Our name change will take place over the next few months and we will fully transition with the next version of our software. You, however, can still expect the same level of support and software uptime and security.

Another exciting change will be version 4 of our software. Fully branded as Scrip Manager v4, it will have a new and improved user interface, speed and stability advancements as well as a handful of new features to help you better manage your scrip program.

We will keep you updated on these changes and provide a timeline on version 4 when it is available. As always if you have any questions or concerns please contact us.

Update 3/29/2011: We are fully transitioned to Scrip Manager and scripmanager.com.
