Our company’s roots go back to 1967 and the attic of a prominent Twin Cities country club when the club installed an IBM System III mainframe computer to process its own billing. The accounting software was initially designed by a small group of people including a few club managers and a programmer. Soon afterward, membership billing services were offered to other clubs in the area and a separate company was incorporated in the early 1970s to manage the project: Club Data Corporation.
In the latter-half of the 1970’s, Club Data’s focus changed from providing processing services to providing accounting software for PC-based club offices. Club Data’s Club Management System (CMS) for DOS was born and Club Data stepped into the limelight as one of the major club software providers in the country.
Throughout the 1980's and 1990's and with the new interest in POS, Club Data created custom interfaces to various POS systems to import their sales transactions into our CMS Accounting System, thus extending the ability of clubs to service their members while recording sales more efficiently and automatically.
After nearly five years of development, we released Club Office in the fall of 1999. Club Office was one of the first Windows-only club accounting systems in the club industry. It has since matured into Club Office Professional, a full-featured yet extremely affordable 32-bit club management system.
Our software suite continues to grow yet remain easily affordable while providing the highest level of data integrity. We take pride in the functionality and ease-of-use that our software provides, and the close, ongoing business relationships that we've developed with our customers. We know their businesses. They know us. It is our goal to further fill the needs of our customers nationwide with new software capabilities and exceptional customer service.
We understand the processes required to run club operations. We have excellent software tools that can help you be successful.
