[ClubCollect](https://www.clubcollect.com/nl/) provides financial services software for associations, specializing in fee collection and membership management. As their customer base grew and data needs became more complex, the team needed a more robust, flexible, and cost-effective reporting environment to support internal teams and clients.

## Delivered Solution
To address these challenges, the team decided to go for the below setup:
1. **Data Pipeline Setup**
- Established [[Hevo]] pipelines for efficient extraction of source data from [[PostgreSQL]], [[Pipedrive]] and others subsequently loading it into [[BigQuery]].
2. **Transformation & Modeling**
- Deployed [[dbt]] to cleanse, merge, and structure data, enabling unified metrics and streamlined analytics.
3. **Analytics & Visualization**
- Built comprehensive dashboards in [[Looker Studio]], covering key metrics like:
- Months-to-recover CAC per client
- Monthly cohort analysis
- CAC/ARR ratios
- Product usage A/B testing
- Shareholder reporting
4. **Dedicated Customer Success Reporting**
- Provided a custom reporting environment for Customer Success teams, featuring alerts and analytics based on leading indicators of client usage and engagement.
