Move Results in Enhanced Customer Service And Profitability For Clients; New for 2007, Accu-Length Pink 1000 Series Set
LENEXA, KANSAS (April 20, 2007) – OnTrack Sports, LLC, the makers Accu-Length, the revolutionary expandable junior golf clubs that make playing golf an easier and more enjoyable experience for young players, is applying those same principles to its business partners by moving its warehouse and headquarters to Lenexa, Kansas.
The move is a result of consolidating several field offices as well as opening its own warehouse operation that had previously been outsourced. The new address is 14125 W. 95th Street, Lenexa, KS 6621566219 and the phone number remains toll-free 800-376-0716.
By moving to a more centralized location and conducting its own warehouse operations, OnTrack Sports will be able to respond to its client’s needs more quickly and efficiently as well as improve all aspects of customer service. Key areas of improvement include upgraded customer service levels, lead times, fill rates, fill accuracy, invoicing and overall control. Jeff Sharpe, Territory Manager for OnTrack Sports, is also relocating to Kansas City where he will play an integral role in the consolidation effort of both the warehouse/fulfillment and new headquarter operations. John Dougherty, Vice President of Sales for OnTrack Sports, as well as 30 independent sales representatives, will remain located in their respective field offices.
"As we all know, time is money in business, and this is another step for us to improve and expand our business procedures thus making us a much more effective, efficient, and accurate partner. All these improvements will add to the bottom line profits for us and our retail partners," says Rick Rutter, President, COO and Founder of OnTrack Sports, LLC, makers of Accu-Length, the only Expandable Junior Golf Clubs. "We will continue to seek ways to make things better for those we do business with, both now and in the future. Being a high value business partner to our customers is a top priority as we aggressively pursue the worldwide marketplaces. We want to add value to our retail partners in every way that we can, from products all the way to better profits."
Accu-Length Expandable Junior Golf Clubs has rapidly moved to the forefront of the junior golf club market because of its one-of-a-kind spacer system, which enables the club to lengthen and grow as the child grows. This creates easily custom fit clubs which allow junior golfers to learn the game more easily and more quickly.
In other words, Accu-Length’s expandable club technology creates consistency in their swings for juniors that has long been so important to adult golfers. This helps junior golfers develop a repeatable swing motion and muscle memory which produces more consistent swings, resulting in straighter shots, longer hits, lower scores and most importantly, a more enjoyable golf experience for kids.
And retailers are enjoying the additional profits created by Accu-Length’s consumer demand and the repeat business created by additional club and spacer purchases which are needed as the child grows. Each year, consumers are returning to retailers for fitting expertise, additional clubs, spacers, and other supplies as their junior golfers gain additional skills and grow taller and stronger. And as kids grow, so does business for Accu-Length and its retail partners while "The Only Expandable Junior Golf Clubs" continue to rack up awards and recognition for excellence.
Accu-Length’s Expandable Junior Golf Clubs were ranked second – out of 16 companies – on Golf Digest’s Hot List of Junior Golf Sets, in the magazine’s August 2006 edition. Accu-Length clubs were also named Best New Equipment Product at the 2005 PGA Merchandise Show in Orlando. At the 2007 show, Accu-Length was named winner in the Product Ingenuity category for emerging companies by the International Network of Golf and "Best of Show" by Golfing Magazine.
