Launching 'KimCaddie' in Japan: A New Era for Golf Facility Management Amid Instructor Shortages

NM Company (Headquarters: Tachikawa, Tokyo; CEO: Narihiro Yoshiyama) has announced the launch of 'KimCaddie,' an indoor golf solution originating from South Korea, in the Japanese market. KimCaddie is an integrated solution that provides booking management, membership management, payment processing, access control, IoT device control, and AI coaching functions on a single platform. It has been adopted by numerous indoor golf facilities in South Korea, supporting operational efficiency and labor savings. In recent years, while the number of indoor golf facilities in Japan has increased, challenges such as instructor shortages, rising labor costs, and the need for unmanned operations have become apparent. KimCaddie addresses these by centralizing management tasks. The system is currently undergoing operational verification in the Japanese market, with a pilot program at 'Y's GOLFLAB Tachikawa' in Tokyo.
