​ Golf Shop offers several useful reports to help you analyze shop activity. To expand on this capability, we are introducing new analytics dashboards. These interactive dashboards, always available at your fingertips, serve up information and tools to help you manage shop activity more efficiently and effectively.
​
The new Home Dashboard (shown below) will be your new landing page. This page summarizes the important information in your Golf Shop account across all capabilities.
​

We're also introducing dedicated analytic dashboards for four major features (Special Orders, Demo Clubs, Club Repair, and Stock Orders). These dynamic dashboards are comprised of useful charts, graphs, and other data filtered by specific time ranges. Check out the Special Order Analytics Dashboard below.

Our Club Repair feature continues to be a popular tool for managing repairs. Feedback indicates the most common type of repair is regripping, and maintaining an optimal grip inventory is very important. But keeping track of units in stock, especially the brand and size mix, can be a challenge. It would also benefit members if they could easily evaluate the grip options you offer.

​ Golf Shop now enables you to create and manage a grip inventory, thereby helping you be more proactive while providing a better service to your members. Here's how it works:

Golf Stix Value Guide is a popular club trade-in service that allows you to trade in used clubs for your members. If you have a Golf Stix account, you can now include your Trade-In Widget directly into your Member Portals, allowing your members to look up club values and request trade-ins. This widget can create revenue for your shop by enabling members to trade clubs in exchange for shop credit.
​

​

Member Portals are a great solution for connecting with your members and providing them access to useful information like current demo club inventory, special order status, grip inventory, open online orders, and more.
​
To ease the setup of a Member Portal, you can now select from different templates (rather than building a page from scratch). Once a template is imported, you can further customize your page to fit the needs of your club.
​

The following enhancements have also been included in this release:

As Golf Shop managers take advantage of new features and increase overall usage, they may find it challenging to stay on top of everything going on. This is especially true during the busy golf season, when special orders are constantly being placed, demo clubs are streaming in and out of the shop, and overall operations are moving at a rapid pace.
​
If you are looking for a simple and effective way to stay proactive and up to date, you can now take advantage of Golf Shop’s Daily Snapshot, a new automated email for shop managers. This concise and easy-to-read email summarizes recent activity and highlights important and actionable information to help you be more productive.
​
The Daily Snapshot can include information on special orders, demo clubs, club repair, stock orders, online order forms, surveys, and even upcoming member birthdays. Managers can completely customize their Daily Snapshot to include all information they find useful.
​

You'll receive your first Daily Snapshot beginning Monday. You will also see a link to customize your content and notification settings.

Previously, all managers had full access to every feature in your Golf Shop account. While this may often be your preference, there may be cases where you want to limit access to specific managers.
To better meet your precise needs, we now enable you to limit permissions for specific managers (both on the web and mobile app) by:

In the example below, the manager has access only to club repair, demo clubs, and the member roster.

The following enhancements have also been included in this release:

Sending surveys and online order forms from Golf Shop (via email or text message) generates unique links for every member. These unique links enable members to answer surveys or place online orders without having to log in or further validate their identity.
​
As an alternative to member-unique links, you can now use a single generic link for any survey or online order form. This option allows you to:

Members accessing the link can validate themselves with a member field answer while guests can enter their contact details.

This user-friendly entry method will help with your assortment planning and allow you to monitor your orders at a much more granular level. In a future release, we'll introduce reports that will make it easier to answer questions like "how many men's large shirts do I have on order across all my vendors?" or "how many black shirts did I order last season?".
​

Club repair work rarely takes place on the golf shop counter next to a computer. For this aspect of the golf shop operation, it would be helpful if you and your staff could manage club repair requests and inquiries on the fly.
​
In our upcoming mobile app update, we're introducing the Club Repair feature, which will allow you to enter and manage your club repair jobs directly from the app wherever you are.

The update for this feature will be available in the next couple of days. If you haven't already, you can download the Golf Genius Golf Shop mobile app in the Apple App Store or Google Play Store.
