Loyalty club management overview
The loyalty functions include birthday, new member, active, non-active and membership expiry date processing. Allowing you (among other things) to actively market promotions and special deals to various types, categories and groups of both active and non-active members in the club. Thus encouraging greater participation by club members and growth in member numbers and thus your business. The debtor functions allow members to run accounts (with active credit limits) and for the potential for introduction of a membership levy system. Access to the debtor accounts at the point of sale is by use of the members’ loyalty card, name or account number.

Ivanhoe Public Golf Course, Clegs and House In Mornington all have a plastic credit card size loyalty membership cards. All cards are produced by Star Plus Technologies. The member presents the loyalty card when making their purchase. The card is swiped under the barcode reader or magnetic strip reader at the Point of Sale, the details of the sale and points (multiple card types with varying point ratios and discount options available including double and triple points days or by product groupings or when specific products are purchased) are recorded against that member. This allows for the tracking of who is buying what and therefore when particular product promotions are being run, you can target the customers "most likely to be interested" in purchasing new products, upgrades or package options etc. Loyalty points earned are also optionally redeemable against future sales.

Client details
At Ivanhoe Public Golf Course, the Bar, Café, Pro-shop and Back Office systems are fully integrated across both the LAN (Local Area Network) and WAN (Wireless Area Network) networks. Soon after the new technology was implemented at Ivanhoe, there was a notable increase in the efficiency of the business, particularly with the front counter processing and back office data entry and reporting. The Ivanhoe Public Golf Course Manager, Mr. Howard McHutchison is completely satisfied by the progress made to his business and to that end would encourage any interested party to contact him directly on (03)94997001 so that he could assist with any questions and/or to allow an inspection of the SPTPOS system firsthand.
