ICS launches new vendor program

International Club Suppliers (ICS) -- the sales and marketing arm for entegra Procurement Services (entegra) in the golf club and resort channel -- has launched the National Vendor Program, offering customers cost savings from preferred companies in categories such as apparel, driving range equipment, fertilizers, marketing collateral and more.
 
Designed to identify top-of-the-line goods and services useful for new and existing ICS members, the National Vendor Program has partnered with Heritage Cross Apparel, specialist in sophisticated sportswear for the golf industry.
 
"The National Vendor Program offers a practical, value-added component, further complementing the enhanced product quality and immediate savings ICS offers its clubs," says Jim Bailey, Managing Partner of ICS.  "We're excited to welcome Heritage Cross Apparel as the initiative's first merchant. The company's lines are well known for their superior hand, fashion-forward trends and affordable pricing."
 
As 'Preferred Manufacturing Partner' for golf and corporate apparel, Heritage Cross will offer ICS partners cost savings on all golf and polo shirts, executive shirts, sweaters and outerwear.
 
"Heritage Cross Apparel is proud to provide its technically advanced and value-driven product assortment to ICS's rapidly expanding account portfolio," says Keith Lux, President. "It is indeed an honor for our company to be aligned with the National Vendor Program and provide substantial pricing deviations for program participants within the golf industry."
 
Food and supplies provider to more than 1,500 golf facilities nationwide, ICS's entegra Program earns top marks for its ability to net up to 12 percent upfront savings on more than 3,000 brand-name products. Companies like McCain, Tropicana, Edy's and Frito Lay are available through the program.
