American Golf takes a swing with K3 Landsteinar

London, 7th  February 2006 - Leading golf specialists American Golf have announced that they have selected K3 Landsteinar to implement their new Retail System throughout their 63 stores in the UK.

The £500k end to end solution covers all functions of the business including a fully integrated EPoS solution, Financials, Inventory management, Warehousing and Distribution.  The system includes head office (60 users) and  there will be approximately 2 tills per store.  American Golf currently has over 350  employees.

Following a period of expansion, the existing in-store system was no longer meeting American Golf’s business requirements or supporting the growth of the company. K3 Landsteinar was selected to overhaul the IT systems at American Golf. Landsteinar Retail is based on the award winning software, Microsoft Dynamics which is a fully integrated solution. 

Ged Gould, American Golf Finance Director commented  . “We are delighted that we found a supplier who could give us what we needed and had the best solution for our business after looking at so many different solutions and suppliers. Our ITT process was lengthy but worthwhile; we now have a solution that is at the cutting edge of retail technology and meet the needs of our rapidly expanding business.”

K3 Landsteinar’s Sales Director Paul Makin commented “ American Golf are yet another example of how our solution can meet the needs of many retail clients, there are so many diverse areas that so many solutions don’t cover. We are pleased to be working with American Golf and look forward to a long healthy relationship ”.
