Scene position

The platform’s only pure entitlement scene

Not a fen of funds, and still a valuable card. Direct proof that MeetCarbon is more than a pure card vendor.

People and roles

Member enterprises both consume and supply

The same enterprise may enjoy entitlements from other members and supply entitlements to them. The system must support dual identity.

Core capabilities

What association delivery must include

The centre is the entitlement catalogue and write-off — not accounts and settlement.

Digital membership card becomes a card

On top of the membership card, add a dynamic code and entitlement summary — the identity layer of the smart card

Entitlement catalogue and issuance

Packs and quota cycles by membership grade; bulk issue

Five admission-rule checks

Membership, validity, quota, supplier status and risk — checked line by line

Dynamic redemption code

60s rotation, one-time write-off, blocks screenshot forwarding

Parking in three tiers

Manual, plate binding, barrier API — by supplier condition

Footfall board

Write-off visits, conversion and anonymised profile — so suppliers see the value

Scene hard parts

Three key entitlement-scene problems

Entitlement ops usually fail on supply and perceived value, not on technology.

Entitlements get treated as mall SKUs

Once they are points redemption, members think entitlements are bought with points

Membership entitlements go through quotas and the entitlement gateway, strictly separate from the points mall

Suppliers lose ongoing motive

If they cannot see footfall, they leave; the catalogue hollows out

Footfall board + peer comparison, so supplier spend is quantifiable

Off-site write-off cannot be recognised by staff

In a cross-region scene, store staff cannot tell genuine from fake

Dynamic code + risk rules (in planning) as required items

Carbon value

Association carbon comes from events, not from a physical campus

Associations do not operate a physical campus. Carbon sources differ from other scenes. Do not mix them with member-enterprise organisation accounting.

Event participation and green travel to meetings

Event check-in and travel register

Meetings are the association’s main behaviour scene

Online meetings vs travel

Meeting-system records

Abatement can be material; treat methodology with care

Paperless

Digital membership cards and electronic notices

Easy to quantify; a good first handle

Delivery boundary

What we do, and what we do not

Organisation process lives in the zero-carbon association system. This solution is the card and entitlement layer only.

Delivered in this solution

  • Membership entitlement catalogue, issuance and write-off
  • Dynamic codes and risk
  • Supplier management and footfall board
  • Low-carbon member badge

Out of scope

  • No join approval or dues-collection process
  • No event signup or content publishing
  • No member-enterprise organisation carbon accounting
  • Do not turn membership entitlements into mall SKUs
