Dallas, TX, February 6, 2014-SmartCart announced today their exciting collaboration with Golf Card International (GCI). By developing a custom app for Golf Card International, SmartCart will be able to reach golfers in over 3,000 clubs across the country. This new app will offer GCI member clubs and golfers, for free, all the features available in the existing SmartCart app.
SmartCart is the only app in the industry that does everything within a fully custom native app. Boasting total interactive mobile presence for clubs, they put everything a golfer or customer could need within one place. Users are able to book dinner and tee time reservations, view event calendars, create food and beverage orders, see GPS yardage, look at full live tournament scorings, push notifications, participate in social media, view weather, and provide a customer rating.
The partnership between Golf Card International and SmartCart enhances existing member benefits and entices new golfers to join. Current member perks include a national course directory, a handicap card, a 10% discount on purchases at Worldwide Golf Shops and a free eNewsletter. Now, with the addition of the SmartCart app, members will be getting even more value.
“Golf Card International has chosen SmartCart to build our custom native app directly due to their flexibility and state of the art technology. The building and implementation of our app by SmartCart is the perfect fit for our desires and needs. We know that having a mobile app presence will enhance the Golf Card International brand, add tremendous Golf Card member value and most importantly assist our affiliate golf clubs in enhancing their F&B revenue stream and their golfer’s experience.” said Jay Miller, Sales Rep at Golf Card International.
David Darnell, VP of SmartCart said, “If a club wanted to create their own app of this standard it would cost hundreds of thousand dollars, plus at least a year of development. We are not just a pointless web app that adds no value to your customers or the clubs bottom line. We are dedicated to continually improving our product for both the golfer, the course and the community.”
