Vacations can be stressful, especially when you try to coordinate baggage. As avid golfers know all too well, golf clubs were an increasingly difficult item to travel with. In addition, the Clubs Anywhere team became aware that pro shops, courses and even teaching professionals were losing money and going out of business because they could not connect with the right people. Clubs Anywhere allows users to select the clubs that are the best fit and have them delivered directly to their vacation destination, generating a connection that allows golfers and golf businesses to work together.
When Clubs Anywhere was beginning to research how to build their marketplace, they wanted a system that wouldn’t be too difficult and would fit their niche. Near Me presented an out of the box software platform that allowed their marketplace to get up and running quickly while allowing them to focus on engaging with customers. A marketplace for golfers and suppliers to connect, share and interact was the genesis of the idea. The Near Me software made it possible.

RVwithMe
“No one was offering this service, or at least the way Near Me was offering it. There are lots of clones and companies willing to build you a platform, but, as the owner of a marketplace over half of your time is spent simply managing the website. With Near Me managing the website, I am able to focus on my marketplace.”
When RVwithMe was just a potential client, they asked us a very poignant question: “How do I trust you guys?” The RVwithMe team knew that there was a risk in building their business on our software. Unfortunately, the team had already spent two years with a technology platform that was unable to deliver, had constant bugs in the system and lacked in customer service. It was then that CEO Scott Krupa decided to make the switch.
Now, RVwithMe is user friendly and available for amateur and seasoned RVers alike. You can host or book a trip through their service by quickly looking up the location you want to travel to. Forget about fancy hotels, resorts and accommodations that charge you for everything except the kitchen sink. You are now officially invited to return to nature, away from chaos, and find your next ideal vacation spot.

Reggalo
“The Near Me team gives us plenty of ideas, shout outs and best practices - making us feel that they are invested in our success.”
For CEO James Rigor of Reggalo.com, Near Me’s platform provided features “we hadn’t [even] thought of…” Reggalo provides an incredible service where, instead of feeling obligated to donate, volunteer or scrounge up some clothes to giveaway, you can raise money for charity by sharing your skills. This service provides organizations with the opportunity to raise money through their volunteers without asking their volunteers to donate. Reggalo makes it easy for volunteers to become “freelance volunteers” and ultimately give back more than they could have otherwise. It is this unique drive and focus that made Reggalo a prime candidate for the Near Me software platform.
For the Reggalo team, Near Me offered features they hadn’t considered and a cost that didn’t pain their bottom line. Features like “automatic e-mail reminders if people are inactive for a certain number of days, and a calendar for booking specific time slots” gave Reggalo tools that have helped its business grow and expand, providing additional and unexpected value. More importantly, for the bottom line, Near Me cost a fraction of what other platforms charge or for Rigor to build from the ground. (A savings of tens of thousands of dollars!)
