How to choose an online scheduling system
1. Choose a software created by people
who understand the golf industry.
Without
intimate understanding of your unique business needs, it's likely that current
and even upcoming features could miss the mark.
2. Know what features you need before you demo
a product.
Make
a list of features you absolutely need, which ones you prefer, and which you'd
rarely use. To see what features are or are not available with your new online Scheduling
system.
3. Talk about customer support.
Many
companies will tout excellent and/or unlimited customer service, but the truth can often be disappointing
once you're a customer who needs assistance. Dig in to see what their policies
and limits are, and check
out reviews of the quality
as well as the timeliness of their support.
4. Find out how painful (or not) the
setup process is
Especially
during the middle of the season, it's critical to find a Scheduling system
provider that won't put you temporarily out of commission. Good online tee
sheets and Scheduling systems will be quick and easy to get up and running.
5. See how long they've been in business
With
our transitioning digital landscape will come more and more options
for online software. However, companies that have always offered only installed
software will be rushing to offer an online option, which will inevitably
come with a learning curve. That learning curve will mean unreliable access to
your online Scheduling system.
