BOSS is the back-office solution for branches of the Scotch Malt Whisky Society.
  • Administration of membership information
  • Sending information ("Info Packs") to prospective members
  • Sending membership bills to new members
  • Sending membership renewals and reminders to expiring members
  • If desired, automatic extensions of memberships as a "member-get-member" bonus.
  • Automatic generation of the membership updates required by headquarters in Scotland.
  • Basic reports on your membership.
  • And, of course, requesting membership cards from Scotland!

Here are the essential files you need to install and run BOSS:

Install package for BOSS version 1.2.0
BOSS Handbook
MSDE 2000 Release A

Please note that - in the course of final testing - Scotland requested a small change in the export format.
Be sure to download and install the following update before using BOSS to request membership cards!


BOSS Update to Version 1.2.1

This update is a self-extracting ZIP-archive. This archive contains a single file "boss.exe".
Just replace your old "boss.exe" with this new version.

Please note: this is only an update - you must first install the full software from the CD!


We have restricted the base system to membership administration, in order to keep the costs down for small and new branches. Furthermore, when a branch purchases BOSS, the costs of the base system are paid in part by headquarters in Scotland. The cost to you - the franchise - are GBP 200.

Larger branches may be interested in additional modules, as described below. If you are interested in these additional features, please contact us for further information.
