Integrated Technology is the way forward for leisure industries, says software experts NFS
 Hospitality solutions provider NFS has commented on the use of integrated systems, arguing that they’re ‘the future’ for the golf and leisure business industry.

 

One individual case study that highlights the company’s claim is that of the Branston Golf and Country Club, located within the serene and rolling Staffordshire countryside, accredited as one of the most impressive and picturesque golf clubs to be found within the Midlands.

 

Visited year round by golfing enthusiasts, affluent country club members and visitors travelling to attend events, weddings, meetings or to experience the delights of the sports and spa facilities, the club is a massive attraction that requires only the best software systems to ensure quality assurance across the board maintains their excellent reputation for excellent customer service.

 

The management team at the Branston Golf and Country Club previously had to carefully manage a total of six independent systems to operate the club, facilities and overall business effectively, a mammoth undertaking for the team and their resources.

 

In a discussion with the country club’s spokesperson Clive Smith, the need to incorporate a more integrated solution was easily identified, saying:

 

“As the business grew, we found ourselves struggling to work with the six systems we previously needed to run all its aspects,” said Mr. Smith. “We were already using two NFS products – Aloha restaurant point of sale software and Rendezvous Events for our meeting scheduling needs.”

 

“After nearly three years of investigation, during which we looked at the products of six companies, we chose NFS again for the ability to bring every aspects of the business together in one total solution. Now, with IBS, we have a single point of contact for management information, integration with our accounting system and a common view of the spend of our members.”

 

NFS regularly reacts to industry related news and continues to develop their software solutions to provide seamless, productive systems that are focused on the needs and requirements of their client base. A spokesperson for NFS believes integrated systems allow for greater use of a clubs facilities, boosting proficiency, competency of the club and improved customer service:

 

“NFS’s IBS systems already provide efficient club management solutions for a growing number of Golf clubs across the UK, helping to save time, money and resources, enabling these clubs retain their existing members, whilst proving extremely successful in acquiring and attracting many more new applicants.”

 

Flawlessly integrating every single aspect of a club’s amenities, facilities and management into one easy to operate solution offers the maximum control for any business within the golfing/leisure industry.
