Your brand

Your brand and your choice of features

The app carries your organisation's brand, or each community can have its own look. That covers the logo, the colours and the app's name.

You choose which features each community uses. Different user types can see different views.

Customers can also commission features for their own Pluss platform. Bolton Clarke and Anglicare have both done this.
