WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY…

“The process of completing one budget round used to take about 3 months. The budget can now be completed in a third of the time, including producing multiple scenarios to test assumptions of adjusting different levers of the business.” Elevate Technology for Clubs

“I can say that our budget process was shortened by at least 30%, and that was the first year; I expect that number to be higher in the future. It makes the budgeting process much simpler.” Fairview Country Club

“If all your clients are as happy as we are, this software is going to skyrocket.” Eagle Creek Country Club

“I was looking for a system that I didn’t have to worry about…with the service that we expect.” Philadelphia Cricket Club

“The knowledge of the club industry and drivers–that was a big component of getting collaboration among the departments. This time around, doing the budgets with BudgetPak was much easier. Department heads were engaged.” Cincinnati Country Club

“The number one thing for me was the scenarios–the ability to basically, in the blink of an eye, create a different scenario without having to take 8 hours to rebuild the ship. That really was a selling point for me.” Elevate Technology for Clubs

“I don’t have to worry about whether everything’s flowing the way it’s supposed to, because it just does. This has made my life easier.” Sawgrass Country Club
