Testimonials
Max Williams – CEO – Doxa Social Club
“In this period of change it is imperative that Victorian clubs gain control of their data and have access to the latest independent and reliable gaming and financial market data and benchmarks.
The Doxa Social Club team is excited about the prospect of moving forward, as CDOL has already highlighted the enormous gaming opportunities available – access to the performance database of over 37,500 gaming machines across all jurisdictions – as well as business and departmental operating benchmarks.
Participation is time-saving, resourceful and cost efficient and early benefits indicate a strong return on investment. The days are gone when you can make important and binding decisions based on gut feelings – the element of independence should not be under-estimated – the more clubs that contribute data to CDOL the better.”
Kerry Scarlett – General Manager-Mulgrave Country Club
“CDOL in its independent capacity helps ensure that our core club business is operating as efficiently as possible highlighting strengths and areas for improvement.
All data is updated monthly, direct from club systems and accessed online making it easy to participate and at a very affordable cost. CDOL provides extensive online reports, executive summary reports, dynamic gaming database and independent industry-wide game ranking, link system performance and new game performance reports tracking the performance of all new games released to market. CDOL delivers Mulgrave Country Club an enormous amount of confidence as we navigate our way toward and beyond 2012.”
Nick Condell – CEO – Queanbeyan Golf Club
“As a new subscriber to CDOL Lite, I have found the gaming analysis very helpful in growing my gaming business significantly in my first six months as CEO at the club. I recommend other like size clubs to get involved in gaming benchmarking as it’s not just for the big boys.”
Tim McAleer – CEO, Sutherland Tradesman’s Union Club
“It is important not to act in isolation. I need to know what is possible, I need to know what is industry best and strive to exceed these benchmarks. Club Data Online allows for informed debate with real facts, not subjective feelings. Independent numbers give sanity to the debate. For example: Can you make money from Catering, or what is the real impact of smoking bans? I can find the answers to these questions by using Club Data Online.”
Guy Diven - CEO, Murwillumbah Services Club
“As a subscriber to CDOL for the last five years, the subscription fee has been without question been one of our best INVESTMENTS. Murwillumbah Services Club five years ago had recorded its sixth successive record loss, accumulated losses for this period amounting to $1.6m and debts totalling $2.7m, the Club was on the verge of closure.
Today we have recorded a fifth year straight of profit amounting to $2m in five years, re-investment into the Club of $2.5m and reduced debt to $1.4m. CDOL has assisted us every step of the way in performance benchmarking of our business, allowing the Club to grow during periods of business restructure, poker machine tax increases, indoor smoking bans and now the global financial crisis.
I am confident in stating that the subscription fee is recouped almost straight away and should be viewed as an investment rather than a cost. It is an invaluable tool for Boards and Management to independently assess their business against the best and strive for excellence.”
David English – Secretary Manager – Halekulani Bowling Club
“Having one of our toughest financial years on record we researched our options to try and find a suitable partner to aid us in turning the result around. After to speaking to a large number of clubs it was decided to engage the services of Club Data Online.
It has proven to be a masterstroke in turning our business around with more informed decisions being made to increase efficiency in all areas of our operations. Any questions or help required is always met with excellent and prompt service and their initial training gives you immediate confidence.
The guesswork of gaming purchases, be it machines or links, is also allayed with independent data available from a large cross-section of clubs. The normal practice of hard sell from gaming manufacturers with limited data is nullified with Club Data’s “PRODUCT PERFORMANCE” showing true and accurate data from all manufacturers.
Club Data Online is an essential reference for any club manager and I have no hesitation in recommending their product.”
