“First of its Kind”
I worked with Carla, Jeff and the entire Earthvisionz team for over 6 years while I was leading digital product development efforts at the PGA Tour. We engaged with them to build out the first ever “live map” experience integrating information about fixed points of interest throughout tournament venues along with the PGA Tour’s Shotlink scoring data for tracking live player location at over 40 events. It was a first of its kind effort and the Earthvisionz team hit a home run on all fronts - design, implementation, support, and just the overall working relationship with over 2M users. They truly embraced the notion of working together with us as a single unified team and their efforts to collaborate and bring new ideas to the table were second to none. Craig Hoff and the engineering team were always responsive to us when it came to feedback and support, and their ability to quickly address last minute changes were crucial to the PGA Tour’s business. It was one of the longest tenured vendor relationships that I maintained while working for the PGA Tour and that is a testament to the level of work that Carla, Jeff and team delivered - I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend or work with them again, as they demonstrated a consistent level of competence and professionalism that is unrivaled in my experience.
