With RUGGED tablets – effective golf course management

23.05.2025

In an increasingly information-based and efficiency-oriented society, warehousing is a central component of a company. Structured warehouse management plays a decisive role in the success of the business. Picking in particular is a labor-intensive and costly process whose efficiency and accuracy have a significant impact on service quality. As a provider of industrial automation solutions, the customer is dedicated to the development, design and sale of intelligent warehouse picking systems. The current focus of research is on increasing operational efficiency and reducing picking errors.

The central challenges

Gaps in communication:
There is often a lack of direct, timely contact between management headquarters and players.
Lack of data availability:
Weather information, exact location coordinates and optimal routes are often not available to players in real time.
Missing history:
players have no access to past consumption and performance data - their experience therefore remains incomplete.

Our RUGGED tablets (and our sales team) support you in finding individual solutions.

The solution: outdoor tablets with integrated management system

To overcome these hurdles, spo-comm industrial tablets are used, which are specially designed for demanding environments. The RUGGED tablets...

... optimize operational processes through seamless data transmission via mobile radio and WLAN.
... improve communication by providing weather data, personnel and vehicle locations in real time both to the management and directly to the players.
... enable exact navigation on the course thanks to high-precision GPS positioning.
... ensure real-time recording of scores and match statistics - available to players and management at any time.

The use of outdoor tablets guarantees that the devices work reliably even in wet, dusty or shocky conditions.

Implementation and integration using a practical example

A golf resort in southern Spain uses around 50 RUGGED tablets and after three months reports 20% shorter service cycles for caddy coordination, 15% more sales through in-app store ads and 90% praise in the member survey for the new navigation and statistics function. The implementation process in bullet points:

Project start: Joint analysis of the site structure and communication channels
Hosting: Setting up a cloud-based management backend
Roll-out: Distribution of RUGGED tablets to caddy stations, administration offices and player lobby.
Training: Instruction of employees and golf instructors in the operation of the system
Continuous support: software updates and remote maintenance via a central dashboard

Economic benefits and ROI

Reduced operating costs through optimized personnel planning and vehicle use.

More sales through targeted advertising and upselling via the tablet.

Customer loyalty through a personalized gaming experience and thus an increase in customer satisfaction.

Rapid amortization: Investments in industrial tablets generally pay for themselves within a year through savings and additional revenue.
