The Problem

Golf fitters face challenges in delivering a seamless fitting experience and managing the complexities of ordering customized equipment from top golfing brands. Players often struggle to find tailored solutions to enhance their game, while brands and administrators need efficient tools for inventory management and communication with fitters.

The Solution

This project aims to develop a web and mobile application that integrates real-time data from launch monitors, using AI algorithms to analyze swing and performance metrics for personalized club recommendations. The app will also streamline B2B ordering and inventory management, creating a centralized platform for fitters, players, brands, and administrators. By leveraging AI-driven insights, the solution seeks to enhance efficiency, foster collaboration, and elevate the overall golf fitting experience.

  • Launch monitor
    integration.
  • AI recommendations based on real world data.
  • Monitor essential
    stats for your business.
  • Your day
    in a glance.

User Research

We conducted research by identifying key stakeholders—golf fitters, players, brand representatives, and administrators—and creating detailed personas to understand their challenges and goals. Competitive analysis and technology feasibility studies highlighted gaps in existing solutions and informed the integration of AI-powered recommendations using real-time data from launch monitors.

These insights shaped our app's design, focusing on fitting ease, personalized recommendations, and streamlined B2B ordering to enhance the golf fitting and sales experience.
