2nd Swing - Modernization

2nd Swing Golf has retail store locations across the United States providing golfers the ability to buy, sell and trade “pre-swung” clubs. With an inventory of more than 80,000 golf clubs, the organization found themselves needing to modernize, consolidate and find a way to provide customers with instant price quotes for trading in clubs.

When 2nd Swing customers wanted to trade-in a used golf club, employees would need to manually look up each club to provide a quote. This caused delays and tied up valuable employee time. The company was utilizing more than 20 legacy apps, but none of them allowed employees to self-serve even the most basic metrics. Additionally, there were integration issues with financial systems that inspired the organization to contact Warecorp to help modernize their systems.
