(LUTZ, Fla.) – International Club Suppliers (ICS) – the sales and marketing arm for entegra Procurement Services (entegra) in the club and resort channel – is nearing 3,000 golf course accounts.
Since its 2002 founding, ICS has realized F&B savings between 5 and 15% for facilities ranging from exclusive private clubs to iconic resorts to municipal facilities. More than 2,800 golf facilities are currently enjoying unsurpassed F&B savings from the entegra Program. Reliable distribution has been vital to its steady growth.
“Thanks to the close relationships we enjoy with suppliers like Sysco, Gordon’s and Performance Food Group, our customers not only save money, but receive great service and other products provided by our distribution partners,” says Jim Bailey, managing partner of ICS. “In addition to food products, our distribution partners supply housekeeping and janitorial supplies, paper and chemicals and much more.”
Complementing this selection are non-food-related products like office supplies, uniforms, HVAC and plumbing supplies. Services, equipment and supply vendors such as Edward Don, Grainger, Alsco and Airgas offer additional savings to these facilities beyond the food and beverage.
Entegra’s “Product Match Tool,” launched last year, is the company’s latest innovation. Updated monthly and available to ICS accounts at www.entegraps.com, it helps customers maximize savings and efficiency by comparing prices for products a facility already purchases to those for entegra-contracted goods.
Beyond golf, ICS satisfies F&B supply needs for thousands of additional facilities nationwide like hotels, private clubs, resorts, camps, casinos and ski facilities.
