Tour Operators dashboard in business intelligence
You can now easily track wholesale and third-party booking partners to identify exactly who is driving your revenue without manual guesswork.
Use this new business intelligence dashboard to track key metrics:
- High-level metrics: View your unique tour operators, total tour operator rounds, and total fees at the top of the page.
- Key metrics grid: Access detailed information, such as average green fees, cart fees, and how many days in advance operators are booking inventory.
- Month-by-month breakdown: Track fees by tour operator and count of rounds, including past and future months, to spot peak booking seasons and volume trends.
Update
Golfer payment methods included in business intelligence exports
You can now easily track golfer payment methods using the customer export. Instead of clicking into individual member profiles, you can export your customer list to identify who has a valid payment method saved at your club.
The updated customer export includes:
- Bank account tracking: Instantly identify which members have direct banking set up at the club and when that account was last updated.
- Credit card visibility: Keep tabs on which golfers have credit cards on file and whether those cards are expired. If multiple cards are on file, the export only flags the card with the latest expiry.
