The Operational Problem
The Carbine Club operates around exclusive member events and structured internal communications, so the core digital requirement was operational capability rather than a broad public-facing presence.
The platform needed to support secure member sign-in and ticket purchasing, event-level logistics such as table seating allocation, pre-prepared print management reports, and reliable publication workflows for news and photo content. It also had to distribute Carbine News across 17 child clubs globally without creating duplicate admin effort.
Why Off-The-Shelf Failed
Generic event and membership tools could not handle the Club's combined requirements for private ticketing, seating-plan intelligence, printable operational reporting, and multi-club content syndication from one source system.
What We Engineered
Programmable Soda developed a custom operations platform for The Carbine Club that goes far beyond standard event pages. Members can sign in and purchase tickets for exclusive events through controlled workflows, while backend tools generate table seating plans and pre-prepared reports to support printing and on-the-day management. We also implemented a structured Carbine News system that preserves full historical archives and supports distribution to all 17 child clubs around the world. A full-featured event photo gallery capability was included to improve post-event engagement and maintain institutional history.

Business Outcome

Ticketing, seating, reporting, and communications are more consistent, while global child-club distribution and photo archival workflows are managed from one reliable platform.
“The platform gives us much stronger control over member events and global communications across the Carbine network.”
