Guru Collective, exclusive North American distributor of eGolf Waiver, is pleased to announce the successful completion and immediate availability of its integration with Lightspeed Golf. This powerful combination delivers a fully automated digital waiver solution that seamlessly integrates into the tee time booking and check-in process, transforming how golf courses manage liability documentation while enhancing the overall player experience.
The integration between eGolf Waiver and Lightspeed Golf creates an end-to-end automated workflow that begins the moment a golfer books a tee time and continues through their day of play. This sophisticated solution addresses one of the golf industry’s most persistent operational challenges by eliminating paper-based waiver processes and ensuring comprehensive liability protection without compromising customer service.
How the Integration Works:
The integration creates a streamlined process that begins when golfers book their tee times through Lightspeed Golf. Upon booking completion, eGolf Waiver automatically sends digital waivers to each player’s email address. For existing club members with valid waivers on file, the system intelligently recognizes their current waiver status and bypasses unnecessary duplicate requests.
Players can conveniently sign waivers on any mobile device or computer, with all signed documents automatically stored in the secure eGolf Waiver platform. Visual indicators within the Lightspeed tee sheet immediately show golf shop staff which players have completed their waivers, enabling efficient check-in processes. For players who haven’t signed digitally, staff can quickly facilitate on-site signing using tablets equipped with eGolf Waiver.
The integration also supports advanced cart management features, allowing staff to assign cart numbers to reservations and utilize eGolf Waiver’s comprehensive cart condition reporting capabilities. This ensures proper documentation of equipment condition and enables accountability for any damage that may occur during play.
