ATA ePRO stands for (electronic) Proshop Retail Organizer, and that's exactly what this software does. Its features help you:

  • Improve your customer service and perceived value by making all work orders electronic – with complete customer history included.

  • Instantly see where you're at with work orders: ATA ePRO offers a quick overview of all work orders in the system, including work in progress.

  • Spend your time selling product, not on the phone: Notify customers automatically with text messages and emails on the status of their work order.

  • Integrate all shop operations. ATA ePRO includes a Point of Sale system that also tracks service work and range activity. Already have a POS system? No problem. ePRO can integrate with your current system.

  • Increase profits from your archery range. With electronic sign-in and sign-out, customers can reserve a lane from home.

  • Automate your online booking for leagues and classes, which means your staff spends less time on the phone, and more time selling and repairing bows.


The software was developed by Orgmyrange LLC owner http://ata.informz.net/z/cjUucD9taT01NzQ2NzQ3JnA9MSZ1PTgyMzIzMjQxNSZsaT0zOTQ3MjgzMQ/index.html" target="_blank" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?hl=en&q=http://ata.informz.net/z/cjUucD9taT01NzQ2NzQ3JnA9MSZ1PTgyMzIzMjQxNSZsaT0zOTQ3MjgzMQ/index.html&source=gmail&ust=1481034157842000&usg=AFQjCNE22RUg-iUUP2KhSLSUWgXobF_huA">Randy Phillips, an archery shop professional with over 25 years of experience running a pro shop and addressing challenges unique to archery and bowhunting retailers. Specifically designed to get retailers up and running with just a couple of training videos, ATA ePRO is intuitive to use, and proven to work over the past year by more than 50 archery dealers.

"The most frequent concerns I hear from our member-retailers is that they're too short-staffed to service their customers, and that they know they aren't taking full advantage of profit-drivers like shooting lanes," said http://ata.informz.net/z/cjUucD9taT01NzQ2NzQ3JnA9MSZ1PTgyMzIzMjQxNSZsaT0zOTQ3MjgzMw/index.html" target="_blank" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?hl=en&q=http://ata.informz.net/z/cjUucD9taT01NzQ2NzQ3JnA9MSZ1PTgyMzIzMjQxNSZsaT0zOTQ3MjgzMw/index.html&source=gmail&ust=1481034157842000&usg=AFQjCNFqSFWzluCwm--48ThreJVu11ui9Q">Jay McAninch, ATA president/CEO. "ATA ePRO is one of the most exciting developments I've seen, in that it's proven technology that maximizes your employees' time, letting you serve more customers more efficiently, and turning those efficiencies – and your range space – into increased profits."

Phillips explained the genesis of ATA ePRO: "This suite of software tools is unique to the archery industry, and was developed through 27 years of running a retail pro shop and 19 years of serving on the ATA http://ata.informz.net/z/cjUucD9taT01NzQ2NzQ3JnA9MSZ1PTgyMzIzMjQxNSZsaT0zOTQ3MjgzNQ/index.html" target="_blank" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?hl=en&q=http://ata.informz.net/z/cjUucD9taT01NzQ2NzQ3JnA9MSZ1PTgyMzIzMjQxNSZsaT0zOTQ3MjgzNQ/index.html&source=gmail&ust=1481034157842000&usg=AFQjCNFzE-ws4RTrq4YkcJtCT_pBlmScqw">Board of Directors with some of the greatest minds in the industry. We also looked at other successful industries for best practices in marketing techniques and standard business practices. This is much more than an archery pro shop in a box.
