Where Our Cat Herder is strong
Our Cat Herder has a clear and genuine strength, and it deserves credit:
- A simple, friendly approach that smaller boards can adopt quickly. - A strong focus on action and task tracking, so decisions turn into follow-up that does not get lost. - Affordability that suits smaller organisations and volunteer boards. - An Australian product that fits the local market.
If you run a smaller board and your main need is a simple way to manage meetings and keep actions on track, Our Cat Herder is a strong fit.
Where Cohiva Quorum is strong
Quorum is built for boards and groups that need statutory governance in one product. Its wedge is:
- The board portal together with a statutory entity register, so registers, officeholders, and members sit with the meeting and resolution record. - Corporations Act 2001 framing built in: resolutions carry their citation, and the section 194 and 195 conflicted-voting rules are applied from the entity type. - A section 251A minute book where signed minutes are immutable and corrections are tracked. - Multi-entity group oversight for a holding company and its subsidiaries as one tenant with many entities. - ACNC framing for registered charities and support for incorporated associations.
Quorum also tracks actions and decisions, while adding the statutory record around them. Quorum helps you comply and is designed to meet your governance obligations, while the entity and its officers remain responsible for compliance.
