Don’t Overpay for Technology. Your OGCOA Membership Includes a Complimentary Process to Save You Time and Money.
The Reality: A Major Investment Deserves Major Support
Choosing a new tee sheet, Point-of-Sale (POS) system, booking engine, website, mobile app, or other operational software is a major investment and one of the most significant decisions a golf course operator makes. You’ll make the final decision, we’ll provide guidance.
Here is why this decision is so critical:
The OGCOA believes your focus should be on maximizing that reward, not managing the risk. That’s why we include the Complimentary Technology RFP Process—a service valued at over $2,000—free with your annual membership. We’ll provide guidance, you’ll make the final decision.
How Can This Service Be Complimentary?
The OGCOA is committed to bringing our members best-in-class operational advantages. We accomplish this through a strategic partnership with smbGOLF, a firm that specializes in technology selection and negotiation for golf courses across North America. Their golf RFP service includes: golf management software, golf saas, golf course apps, golf course tee sheets, golf shop point of sale, member management software, and complimentary golf course applications.
This is how it works:
- smbGOLF maintains the necessary infrastructure and expertise to support every step of the complex RFP process for courses of all sizes. They regularly sell this valuable service for over $2,000 to courses that are not OGCOA members.
- Through our exclusive OGCOA/smbGOLF service agreement, we are able to make this RFP Process complimentary for every one of our dues-paying members.
This partnership means you receive dedicated, expert guidance—supported by a firm with national market visibility—at zero additional cost. It’s a direct, measurable return on your membership investment.
How We Save You Time and Ensure the Best Fit
Our structured, vendor-neutral RFP process acts as your objective, expert partner, ensuring you only spend time on systems that are a perfect fit for your course’s long-term goals.
1. Define Your Needs, Not the Vendor’s Pitch
We work with you to clearly define your specific needs, budget, and integration requirements. This phase builds a non-proprietary blueprint that eliminates solutions that can’t meet your course’s fundamental needs, instantly saving you hours of wasted calls.
2. Strategic Evaluation & Expert Vetting
We filter the noise, bringing only the best-vetted, most-qualified technology vendors to the table. When it’s time for demos, we guide the conversation, ensuring the right strategic questions are asked (questions sales teams often prefer to avoid) so you can make true, apples-to-apples comparisons based on facts, not marketing.
3. Guaranteed Negotiation & Best Pricing
Our expertise goes beyond feature lists. We provide objective guidance and assistance in reviewing your contract offers. By leveraging current industry pricing and negotiation data, we ensure you secure the most favorable contract terms and the lowest possible price for your chosen technology. This step alone often delivers savings that dwarf the value of the complimentary service.
Focus on Golf, Let Us Handle the Tech
This is more than just a template; it’s a professionally managed service designed to deliver confidence and return on investment. Whether you are replacing an outdated system or exploring new avenues like mobile apps, let the OGCOA team use this exclusive benefit to ensure your next technology purchase is smart, fast, and cost-effective.
Your time is valuable. Your budget is finite. Use our complimentary service that protects both with you making the final decision.
