Empowering Associations with End-to-End Subscription, Payment & Fulfilment Solutions for Sustainable Growth

Who they are

CDS Global is a global provider of outsourced subscription, payment, fulfilment and data services serving membership organisations, non-profits and subscription-based groups.
Founded in 1972, the company is a subsidiary of Hearst Corporation and operates with the scale, stability and expertise that comes from decades of servicing brands worldwide.

What they offer for associations

• Comprehensive membership & subscription management: recurring billing, renewals, digital and print channels.
• Payment and donation processing with fraud mitigation and payment recovery – supporting associations with revenue and donor streams.
• Order, product distribution and fulfilment services — warehousing, kitting, mailing — useful if your association offers member merchandise or publications.
• Data capture, analytics and marketing services to help associations understand member behaviour, improve retention and increase lifetime value.

Why this matters for your association

• If your association relies on subscriptions, publications, membership renewals or donor support, CDS Global provides a specialist infrastructure rather than a generic vendor.
• Their global scale and experience mean you can trust a partner who understands high-volume, multi-channel operations and long-term retention strategies.
• Outsourcing these processes frees your internal team to focus on member value, programmes and engagement—not on administration and fulfilment.
• With data analytics and marketing support built in, your association can use insights to drive growth, reduce churn and demonstrate value to stakeholders.

In summary

For associations seeking a partner to manage the full customer/member lifecycle—subscriptions, payments, fulfilment, data and analytics—CDS Global offers a mature, scalable and sector-proven solution. They help you streamline operations, boost revenue and focus on growing member value.
