Jencess’ exclusive European distributor YellowTip Software BV, proudly announced the appointment of Barre de Groot as Sales and Support Manager for southern Europe.

De Groot said, "My heart is very close to and passionate about the golf industry. I see an incredible opportunity with Jencess as most of the industry is largely unsatisfied with their existing software vendor and the level of support they are receiving. I look forward to a bright future serving the golf, spa and leisure industry, with what I have seen as the best integrated software solution and commitment to world-class support.” He went on to say “For my clients sake, I wish I would have known of Jencess and YellowTip five years ago. The quality of their software, level of functionality and their customer support are simply unrivaled."

Gerhard Zielinski, Managing Director said “The knowledge, experience and network De Groot brings to the market is incredible. He knows the software needs for the golf and hospitality industry like no one else. I am very excited for De Groot to be joining the EU YellowTip Team, and I look forward to having him working with our existing and future clients to meet and handle their software needs. His experience throughout Europe with hotels and resorts will also be invaluable working with our powerful multi-property Micros Fidelio / Opera interface.”

Kirk Jensen, President of Jencess Software said “In my 20 years in the business I have never seen where so many of the courses we visited were so eager to replace their existing software. They were also very impressed at the functionality of both our Connect and Online Suites.” He went on to say “The respect and confidence that the different courses we visited showed Mr. DeGroot was exemplary. He knows what the courses wanted and how to clearly communicate with them. Mr. DeGroot is another great asset to our experienced and growing global staff.”
