- Tracking company spend and sales
- Custom pricing rules for corporate bookings
⛳ 3. Smarter Reservations & Enhanced Search Functionality
Booking a round has never been this intuitive. With new slot filters, golfers can find tee times that match their group size — solo, duo, trio, or foursome — directly in A9 Online.
Benefits for clubs:
- Fewer no-shows
- Better cash flow
- Streamlined financial admin
Plus, we’ve simplified customer search: just type the full name and go. No more “lastname/firstname” gymnastics.
💬 4. Daily Tee Sheet Comments — Your Club’s Voice, Front and Center
Need to share a weather alert, maintenance update, or internal note? Now you can add custom daily comments — complete with icons and background colors — to your tee sheets. Shape your club’s personality, right where it matters most: in the tee sheet.
➡️ Simply select: “Maintenance” → “Daily Comment” in the “Reservation” tile.
🧾 5. Cash-Up Enhancements — Finance, Refined
We’ve refined the POS and Finance workflow to simplify end-of-day (EOD) management, improve cashbook accuracy, and enhance location-level reporting.
Key updates include:
- POS location-based cash-ups: Perform and report EOD cash-ups by location (e.g. Pro Shop, Reception) and generate independent statements.
- Dynamic document journal: Replace static reports with an interactive journal. Access posted documents, line-level transactions, and detailed reconciliation for better auditability.
- Consolidated “All” views & filters: Get a combined cashbook overview across POS locations or modules, with extended filters for date, payment method, location, and user — ideal for month-end reconciliation.
🏢 6. DATEV Cost-Centre Export & Multi-Entity Version 2
Clubs using DATEV can now export extended cost centre details, simplifying your accounting and saving valuable time.
Clubs running multiple locations will be thrilled about our updated multi-entity version. It lets you merge databases and manage everything — golf courses, pro shops, restaurants — from one unified platform. No extra steps. No extra stress. Just seamless operations.
