In 2003, GPS Industries, a Global Positioning (GPS) based business solutions provider, announced that the past 30 days have produced more than US $800,000 in orders from five different golf courses. These orders are from world-renowned golf courses in the United States, Canada and Australia.
"In the brief period since introducing the Inforemer to the market, we have received a substantial number of inquiries and requests for proposals, and the orders are starting to come in," commented Blake Ponuick, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for GPS Industries. "We only recently rolled-out a modest sales and marketing program, and are already in discussions with more than 45 courses in the United States, Canada, Australia, China, Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia. These are in addition to the more than 50 Greg Norman-designed courses being introduced as a result of our strategic partnership with Greg Norman Golf Course Design and Great White Shark Enterprises. We look forward to seeing even more impressive results as we continue to expand our distributor network and increase our sales and marketing initiatives. The outlook for 2004 is very promising."
These sales, which will be installed over the next 45 days, include the Inforemer's full GPS-based management information system and more than 347 mobile display units, consisting of the company's flagship 10.4" color cart-mounted units, handheld units, marshal, green keeper and food and beverage units.
GPS Industries (now ClubCar) develops and provides GPS-based sports intelligence and information management systems utilizing the company's unique, patented technology. The company's Informer system was designed specifically to meet the needs of golfers, golf courses and golf course management companies in the $38 billion worldwide golf industry. The Inforemer combines the very latest in unique high-speed wireless technology, differential global positioning location-based services, Internet protocols, two-way messaging, media management and customer relationship management systems. GPS Industries was the first company to introduce a hand-held GPS golf unit and remains the only company to allow courses to mix-and-match between cart- mounted and handheld units.
