Reflecting On Our Journey and the Path Forward

We have come a long way since our incorporation in 2012. Our team has grown significantly and today we serve hundreds of golf courses on five continents.

At Chronogolf, we aspire that one day, every golf course will benefit from the high level of functionality and flexibility that cloud-based software can offer. Golf has long sought out technology capable of advancing both the game and its business side; a solution that can work for all generations and all levels of golfers. We believe this acquisition comes at the perfect moment to write a new chapter in our industry.

Time and time again, we’ve seen our customers thrive after embracing our platform. We give golf operators the tools and know-how to streamline time-consuming processes, drive revenue, automate marketing, and enhance member services. Now that we are more fully-immersed in Lightspeed’s vibrant and dynamic ecosystem, the cards are stacked in our favor to continue the revolution we are driving within our industry and the game itself.

From a Key Partnership Dating Back to 2014 to Joining the Lightspeed Family

It’s no secret that an early part of our success can be attributed to partnering with Lightspeed. In addition to the convenience and shared pride of both being headquartered in Montreal (go Habs go!), it was clear that Lightspeed shared our customer-first and people-first mindset, along with our commitment to providing the absolute best product and service possible.

Today we are renewing that commitment by joining forces once and for all. We believe that entering Lightspeed’s universe gives us a clear path forward to continue building the best management software in golf. Our shared mission and complementary cultures will combine and reinforce one another through this new chapter.

In short, joining Lightspeed means we can now focus on further integrating the best retail, restaurant, accounting, loyalty, and payment processing tools into our existing tee sheet, member management, and marketing solution. We can’t wait to see what we will achieve together.

Now, onwards!
