At the National Golf Congress and Exhibition on March 21, 2022 in Papendal, Xafax and iBirdies will demonstrate the operation of a Duchell ball machine with the iBirdies' app.
It is an example of how golf clubs can optimize their payment portfolio with Xafax myCashlessGolf. The solution includes a fully integrated payment platform at the driving range, clubhouse, pro shop, golf pro, restaurant and vending machines. Included in iBirdies, the golfer now has the option to reserve or order and pay immediately. From green fee or course sandwich to competition contribution or ball machine; all in a few simple steps.
iBirdies provides smart links between different IT systems for golf courses. The app for smartphones – iPhone and Android – brings together all aspects of a round of golf in a clear and handy way.
Golf courses thus bundle all their services for members and guests in one place. Golfers will find everything for planning and playing a round of golf for a course grouped in a practical way.
In collaboration with Xafax, the iBirdies app is suitable for paying for driving range balls from the machine, operating the barrier, opening the club shed or registering attendance. But with iBirdies you can also easily pay for green fees, a competition fee, a course sandwich or a drink in the restaurant.
Privacy guaranteed
Xafax works with a personal credit that can also be topped up transparently and securely in iBirdies. Both companies have very strict standards when it comes to the security of the application and the privacy of the users.
“With Xafax myCashlessGolf we are taking the next step in broadening the portfolio of services that iBirdies makes available to golf courses and golfers,” says Pieter van Hoogstraten, initiator of iBirdies. “Cashless payment in combination with reservations, playing or training or simply enjoying a day on the course makes the life of the golfer and the golf course simpler and contributes to the enjoyment of the game.”
“The iBirdies App fits perfectly with Xafax's vision, which strives for one device for all applications. By adding the game and social elements in addition to all transactions, the user creates one place for everything on and around the golf course," says Pieter Gramser of Xafax, spiritual father of myCashlessGolf. “A user needs a clear and uniform way to obtain information and plan a day of golf. Whether it concerns payment, reservation or ordering: iBirdies ensures that the user does not always have to switch to another application. It is so easy and user-friendly."
