A conversation
with Mark Haugstad
Founder, Build Your Golf Cart
We would like to thank Mark for sharing this
insider look at Build Your Golf Cart
Mark, tell our readers a brief history
of your Company... What type of service does your com-
pany offer?
Thanks for this opportunity. I start-
ed the Build Your Golf Cart Software
Company in 2015 as an extension
of my graphic and web design busi-
ness—Watermark Design. The Build Your Gold Cart software is
made specifically for dealers to help
them sell more products. Customers
can build their dream cart and add all
the customizations they want, which
in turn boosts revenue for the dealers.
When I first started the business, the
only cart available in the builder was
the Club Car Precedent and we had
around 100 available customization
options. Since then, we have add-
ed the Yamaha Drive, Yamaha Drive
2, E-Z-GO RXV, E-Z-GO TXT, and the
Club Car Onward. The software now
has over 1500 customization options
and we offer each subscriber a per-
sonal login to choose what custom-
izations they want to offer, set their
own pricing, and see statistics that
show dealers in what their customers
are most interested in. Another excit-
ing addition in 2019 was the release
of our mobile-friendly builder.
The online golf cart builder software
allows their clients to have a better
buying experience by controlling
their build, saving the dealer time,
and generating quality leads.
Are there any significant achieve-
ments you want or readers to know
about?
Our product is one of kind! We cur-
rently offer 6 golf cart models and
have plans for more in the future.
Since launching in 2015, we have
seen other manufacturers create their
