foreUP Product Updates:
- At the PGA Show, we were excited to break the news that foreUP is in the process of building a branded mobile app solution! In your course’s mobile app, your golfers will be able to book and manage their tee times, access billing information, shop your online store, and stay engaged through real-time course updates, push notifications, and social feeds—all within your course’s app. Whether it’s tournament registrations, exclusive deals, or last-minute course alerts, your golfers will always be in the know. Stay tuned for more information this spring as we get closer to launching this new product offering!
- Our teams have been hard at work on a project we are calling “Time Based Reservations”. This project will provide an enhanced solution for operations that offer reservations for other activities or amenities, such as Indoor Golf, Golf Lessons, Courts, or any other type of reservation that is reserved as a block of time.
- foreUP has been investing in backend improvements. Investing in foreUP’s foundation is critical to improve the application’s stability, provides performance enhancements, enhances security, and sets us up to build new and exciting features as we look ahead to the future!
