Buz Club Manager

Buz Club Manager is a fully integrated club management solution from Buz Software, designed for private clubs such as golf, country, yacht, city and athletic clubs. These organisations typically run a mix of activities — dining, retail, golf, tennis, events and accommodation — while also managing member accounts, dues and financial reporting. Using separate systems for each area often results in duplicate data entry, reconciliation problems and an incomplete picture of member engagement. Buz addresses this by providing a single platform in which accounting, member management, point of sale, website and communications are tightly connected, so that every transaction flows automatically to member statements and the general ledger. The approach is to reduce administrative overhead for club staff while giving managers and boards timely financial and operational information.

The accounting module includes general ledger, accounts payable, accounts receivable, billing and statements, with support for minimums, assessments and dues schedules common in private clubs. Member management covers profiles, family relationships, membership categories and history. Food and beverage point of sale supports table service, tabs, modifiers and kitchen printing, while retail point of sale handles pro shop inventory and sales. Additional modules cover tee time and court reservations, event and banquet management, and inventory control. A member-facing website and mobile app allow members to view statements, pay balances online, book facilities, register for events and access club news, with a content management system giving staff control over the site. Communication tools support email newsletters and targeted messaging. Reporting provides insight into revenue, spending patterns and departmental performance, and data can be exported for further analysis. Buz is delivered as a cloud-based solution with support and training from the vendor. Its target customers are private member clubs, homeowners' associations with amenities, and similar membership organisations, primarily in North America. Pricing starts from around USD 499; there is no free version and no free trial listed.
