General Office Manager

could use some more privilege options for employees to fine tune each employee - could use some specifics on the inventory management items

President

Marketing, Online Portal capability, membership, billing statements; see product improvement requests that have been submitted over the last 20 months

General Manager

Time stamping when the reservation was taken and also time stamping notes that are put in with the reservation.

Pro Shop Supervisor

ForeUp does not consistently recognize our different options for price changes at different times of the day.

Director of Marketing and Public Relations

foreUP software is a great tool to help manage tee bookings and online presence.  

The ease of booking reservations and adding notes to reservations if needed.

Accounting Manager

No where in the world is an open Receivable presented as a negative.

Director - Membership and Communications

Ease of use, though I don't use all of the features available

overall a friendly system to use - help is available if needed

General manager

Marketing team was excellent and very attentive

I'm sure it was a bunch of work for the ForeUp team, but on our end we just had to spend some time formatting the new website and transferring our customer and inventory data.

Sales and Finance Manager

I've been able to set it up to allocate to different revenue centers and allocate every transaction to the accounts I need on the accounting end, however we have to do most of the accounting manually because ForeUP is not set up as an accounting software, more of a data software.

Golf Professional

ForeUP categorizes requests by priority and score them on a demand basis, so some of the very specific and unique things that we need it to do, we are having to do manually because it hasn't been as high of a priority on their pipeline of programs to build/improve.

Assistant PGA Professional

For example, out accounting team needed a report that broke down our departments sales based on if the customer paid with a credit card, cash, check, or gift card.  

Pro Shop Representative

Quick set up to manage merchandise and player check-in options.

ForeUp has made running my tee-sheet and all POS functions much easier.

Manager

We are having to refresh the program continuously which takes time and slows us down, however, the one con that is least liked about the system is not being able to have the restaurant side and the pro shop side coincide.

The ease of setting up our tee sheets, data base, merchandise and interaction.

Inventory control and sales are also much easier than previous system.

Administrator of Golf

The one thing that I wish was better is the multiple course reporting.  

The downside of it being in the cloud is that, sometimes, we have struggles with the Food and Beverage Sales Portal not getting orders to our kitchen, but most of the time it works seamlessly.

Club Manager

Our experience has been nothing short of fantastic from the original sales pitch, to setup, implementation, training, on-boarding and putting the product into our daily work function.   

Director of Golf/Head Golf Professional

Some reporting features are tricky to get to work properly.  

I have had to make several outside spreadsheets to manipulate the data the way that I need, but I have never run into trouble finding very specific piece of data that I need.

The list is endless, but the highlights are: email marketing, online tee times, integrated app, etc. etc.  

With the amount of items we have in our system, we end up scrolling down often to select sales items.

The ability to track loyalty points and communicate with the customer.

Information Systems Manager

Also, the ability to move back to an integrated credit card payment process was the biggest key factor.

We not only recommend it, we train other local golf courses on it.

It has  a lot of solid features for golf operators and a lot of tech integration.

Golf Staff

The staff was helpful when things need to be adapted.

Director of Operations/General Manager

I love being able to pull reporting remotely and check on sales/revenue.

Owner

Having 3 courses and not knowing the other members, I feel incompetent not knowing all the members and their membership status.  

Director of Golf

Easy to change items, Create and change pricing classes, merge duplicate customers etc.

Head Pro 

Lots of things we ask about are functions they already have in place, some are not already in place and they do their best to try to make it work for us or find an alternative solution.

I feel the credit card implemented into the software will help with employee theft.  

Office Manager

The tee sheet capabilities allows us to maximize revenues.

A main part of my job personally is to input inventory and price the merchandise.  

It is nice not having to worry about purchasing, maintaining and supporting servers in rural areas.   

Head Golf Professional

With implementing any new product there are always hiccups and bumps along the way but the support team led by [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] has been outstanding to work with.  

I am only able to know for sure if they are a member once i get to the payment screen.  

We use Stripe for credit card transactions.

PGA Professional/GM 

I had shopped around and found Foreup to be both less expensive and afforded us more information than the previous system.

System would push tee time out of viewing screen or to another time.

Some of the reports that I was used to in my old software were not available in this one.  

PGA ahead Golf Professional

The easy of use and simplistic value for member use is great!

Chief of Staff

I golf a lot and being able to use the same reservation system has been really nice.

Assistant

Frequent crashes and errors

76% of reviewers feel negative about AIMsi’s Bugs and Issues. Users report the software frequently crashes, freezes, or becomes unresponsive, often resulting in lost work and the need to restart. Reviewers indicate that error handling is poor, making it difficult to recover from mistakes or correct entries, and some say the process for making corrections is tedious or impossible. They find that numerous small glitches and bugs disrupt daily operations, while support for resolving these problems is sometimes slow or ineffective. Some users feel the software’s design flaws and lack of a comprehensive user guide add to their frustration.

Comprehensive inventory control tools

79% of reviewers feel positive about AIMsi’s Inventory Management. Users think the system’s real-time tracking and robust reporting features help them monitor stock levels, sales, and transfers efficiently across multiple locations. Reviewers appreciate being able to conduct spot checks, manage serialized inventory, and generate detailed inventory and sales reports, which they say supports better purchasing decisions and forecasting. They find the integration of inventory with accounting and sales modules valuable for streamlining backroom operations. Some users say the ability to access inventory history and organize sales processes simplifies daily management and improves overall business operations.

The Vortx web platform that integrates with AIM comes with a lot of limitations & the custom report tool is difficult to use.  

School Director

That being said, the version we are currently using is not online integrated as far as the lesson module goes. If that has changed with the newer version, then I have no cons

Retirement Plan (Front Room Manager)

The worst part about this POS was the set up. Although I believe that is mostly the fact that we were transferring information from a system that was very VERY old and outdated system. But the service team was there for me whenever I had questions; and boy I had a lot of them.

Special Projects Manager

The AIM team is generally responsive to our requests though we do tend to have issues due to the large database size that difficult to diagnose.

I guess at this point I like least is we have no way to print a claim check when customers drop off their vacuum.  

Assistant to Everything

It allows us to manage daily sales, keep current track of our inventory, and to update, receive, and transfer inventory as needed.
