Otta's take

Xav Kearney headshot

Xav Kearney

CTO of Otta

The success of golf clubs relies on the management of memberships, courses, and business operations, areas that are currently managed on legacy software platforms. However, existing solutions have failed to keep up with the evolving needs of the industry, and this results in inefficient business workflows and unsatisfactory member experiences.

Whoosh provides a golf club operations software platform, providing businesses with cloud-based tablet-centric software systems to allow staff members to manage golf courses and member experiences in real-time away from indoor counters. The platform also provides staff-to-staff and staff-to-member communication tools, streamlined business workflow tools, and the resources required to personalize every member's experience.

Whilst golf club operational management platforms are nothing new, Whoosh has recognized how indoor counter-based systems isolate staff from their customers, providing a fully remote system to allow employees to be more present in the members’ experiences. The company also claims that optimizing workflows and personalizing membership experiences, it can help businesses retain their members and scale their revenue.
