Analytics Overview
The Analytics module in IZI gives club owners and staff a complete, real-time picture of business performance — more than 30 reports covering revenue, client behaviour, hall utilisation, staff oversight, and tariff efficiency, all without manual spreadsheet exports. Key metrics like ARPU, hall load, and client retention update live and are available from the moment the club opens. Most tables support CSV export for external analysis or accounting integrations.
For owners, the practical starting point is the Key Metrics (KPI) block: one screen that surfaces the five numbers that matter most. For the Administrator and any staff with analytics permissions in their custom role, the Daily Analytics and Session Report tabs provide the operational granularity needed to run a shift well.

KPI: what to track and why
Section titled “KPI: what to track and why”The Key Metrics block is the owner’s primary entry point. Each metric answers a specific question about business health.
Revenue for the period is the baseline trend indicator. Comparing the current period to the previous identical one — week over week, month over month — removes seasonal noise and shows direction. A sharp drop without an obvious external cause is the signal to dig into operational data.
ARPU (Average Revenue Per User) is the average revenue generated by one paying client during the period. Formula: total revenue ÷ number of unique paying clients. When revenue grows but ARPU falls, the club is attracting more clients who spend less — a pricing or upsell problem, not a traffic problem. These require different responses.
Hall load is the share of operating time during which seats are occupied. It is visible hour by hour in Daily Analytics and on the heatmap in Session Report. Off-peak gaps are the most direct signal of where a discount mechanic or event could generate incremental revenue from otherwise idle capacity.
Retention measures what percentage of clients returned in the month following their first visit. This is the product-quality metric: if retention is below the typical benchmark for the club’s region and format, the priority is improving the client experience — not increasing marketing spend. More acquisition on a leaky retention base rarely improves unit economics.
Average order value (AOV) per session is the average amount a client spends per visit, including bar purchases and other products. It grows through tariff upsell, F&B cross-sell, and loyalty programme mechanics. Detailed breakdown is in Client Report → Revenue.
LTV (Lifetime Value) estimates the total value of a client across their relationship with the club. In IZI, LTV is evaluated through cohort analysis: the cumulative revenue of each monthly cohort is tracked across subsequent months, producing a curve that shows how quickly client acquisition costs are recovered.
Cohort retention reports
Section titled “Cohort retention reports”Cohort analysis shows how clients behave over time — not just in the moment. It is the standard tool for distinguishing a product quality problem from a marketing problem.
The mechanism: clients are grouped by the month of their first visit (the cohort). For each cohort, IZI calculates the percentage that returned one month later, two months later, three months later, and so on. The result is a matrix where each row is a cohort and each column is an ordinal month in the client’s lifecycle.
The Client Report → Retention section in IZI builds this matrix automatically.
How to interpret the cohort matrix:
- If the most recent cohorts show consistently higher first-column retention than older ones, a recent product change or experience improvement is working.
- If one month’s cohort is anomalously low, look at operational events from that period: a location change, staff turnover, or a competitor opening nearby.
- If retention falls steadily from the third month onwards across all cohorts, the loyalty programme or absence of recurring activities is the likely cause.
- If older cohorts (6–12 months ago) retain better than newer ones, the quality or source of new client acquisition has changed — worth reviewing traffic channels.
Cohort analysis identifies where to look, not why. After spotting an anomaly in a cohort row, move to the detailed Session and Client reports for the same period to understand the operational cause.
Suspicious actions and staff oversight
Section titled “Suspicious actions and staff oversight”The Suspicious Actions section is an oversight tool for the owner and senior staff who need to monitor operations without being physically present in the club. IZI automatically flags operations that deviate from normal patterns or carry signs of misuse.
The section has four tabs:
Employees — a breakdown of anomalous operations by staff member. Visible at a glance: who has an atypical number of balance operations, refunds, or tech-mode entries. This is a conversation-starting tool, not a verdict — the data shows where to ask questions.
Balance Operations — a detailed log of deposits and deductions matching suspicious patterns: deposits with no subsequent sessions, unusually large single transactions, repeated identical amounts.
Device Analysis — per-device statistics: atypical operating hours, operations on devices with no active sessions.
Tech-Mode Log — every entry into technical mode, with the staff member, time, and duration recorded. Technical mode is a legitimate service tool, but habitual use on an occupied device produces zero revenue from that seat during the interval.
The tab structure lets an owner review the flags in two to three minutes per day without going through each transaction individually.
Price Simulator
Section titled “Price Simulator”The Price Simulator is the tariff testing tool — a way to evaluate a pricing change before committing to it on the live price list.
How it works: you enter a hypothetical price for one or more tariffs. The simulator takes historical sessions from your club — your actual sales for the selected period — and recalculates revenue at the new rate. The output is a revenue delta: how much more or less you would have earned had that price been in effect during the reference period.
Typical use cases:
- Evaluate whether raising the late-night tariff is worth the risk.
- Compare two pricing scenarios for the same zone side by side.
- Understand how price-sensitive the existing audience is: if the tariff were X% higher, does revenue increase, or does session volume fall enough to cancel the gain?
- Prepare a data-backed recommendation for an investor or co-owner — not “I think we should raise prices” but a calculation on the club’s own historical data.
The simulator works on historical data only. It shows a mechanical revenue delta assuming session volume stays constant — it does not forecast how client behaviour would change at a new price point. Use it as an orientation, not a precise projection.
Multi-club and network analytics
Section titled “Multi-club and network analytics”For owners operating multiple clubs — franchise networks or independent chains — IZI provides analytics at both the individual club and organisation levels.
Switching between clubs is done via the club switcher in the CRM header. Every analytics section responds to the switch: the same KPI block, heatmap, or cohort report opens for any club in the network without a separate login.
Client Report at organisation level shows the client base that visits multiple clubs without double-counting. A client who visits two clubs in the network is counted as one unique client at the organisation level.
Tariff Sales at organisation level gives a network-wide product portfolio view: which tariffs sell best across all clubs, not just within a single location.
Practical workflow for a network owner: open the KPI block for each club at the start of the week and compare load and ARPU. A club where both metrics are below the network average is the priority for review. A club with high load but low ARPU points to a pricing optimisation or upsell opportunity.
For deeper side-by-side comparisons, use export: pull the same report for each club, combine into a summary spreadsheet. This is a manual step — consolidated cross-club dashboards in a single screen are on the product roadmap.
Navigating the analytics section
Section titled “Navigating the analytics section”In the CRM sidebar, click Analytics. Sub-sections appear: Revenue, Sessions, Clients, Hall, Bonuses, Bar, Shifts.
Use the date range picker at the top of each report to set the analysis period. Most reports update instantly when the range changes. The built-in compare mode (available on most reports) automatically selects the previous identical period for delta calculations.
To export any filtered view, click the Export CSV button in the table header. The export respects all active filters — period, club, tariff, zone.

Section titled “See also”Frequently asked questions
What reports are available in IZI?
IZI has more than 30 reports grouped into eleven blocks: Key Metrics (KPI), Daily Analytics, Product Report (F&B and stock), Tariff Sales, Bonus Report, Client Report, Shift Report, Session Report, Suspicious Actions, Promo Code Report, and Price Simulator. All data updates in near real time; the date range is set per page.
Which KPIs should a club owner track every week?
The minimum set is five metrics: revenue for the period (shows trends), ARPU (average revenue per client — shows base value), hall load by hour (reveals gaps), repeat visits / retention (product quality), and average spend per session (AOV). These five give a health picture without diving into detailed reports.
What are ARPU and LTV in the context of a gaming club?
ARPU (Average Revenue Per User) is the average revenue one client brought during a period — total revenue divided by the number of unique paying clients. LTV (Lifetime Value) is the estimated total revenue from a client over their entire relationship with the club. In IZI, LTV is estimated through cohort analysis: clients are grouped by the month of their first visit and their cumulative revenue is tracked month by month.
How do I read cohort reports in IZI?
The cohort analysis in Client Report → Retention groups clients by the month of their first visit. Each row is a cohort; each column is an ordinal month after the first visit. A value below 30% in the second column across all cohorts signals a retention problem with new clients. Stable values in columns 3–5 mean the regular base is holding well.
Can I export reports to Excel?
Yes. Most tables in the analytics section support export via a button in the table header. The export produces a CSV with the same filters active in the UI — period, club, tariff, and so on. Open the file in Excel or Google Sheets.
What period should I use for a valid comparison?
Compare like with like: this week versus last week, this month versus last month — not January versus December, which mixes seasonality. IZI's built-in compare mode on most reports automatically selects the previous identical period.
What does the Price Simulator do?
The Price Simulator lets you model how revenue would change if you adjusted a tariff — without changing the real price list. You enter a hypothetical price, and the simulator recalculates historical sessions at the new rate, showing the revenue delta. It is a data-backed decision tool, not a demand forecast.
What are Suspicious Actions in IZI?
The Suspicious Actions section flags operations that statistically deviate from normal patterns or show signs of misuse: atypical balance adjustments, tech-mode entries, abnormal account movements by specific staff members. It is split into five tabs: Overview, Employees, Balance Operations, Device Analysis, and Tech-Mode Log.
Can I filter analytics by zone?
Yes. Most reports support filtering by zone — useful for comparing Standard vs VIP performance.
Can I compare two periods?
Yes. The compare periods feature lets you set a primary period and a comparison period. Metrics show absolute values and percentage change between the two.
Is analytics available to all roles?
The Owner and Administrator (the built-in staff role) have full read access to analytics. Access for other staff depends on the permissions assigned to their custom role — the owner controls this when creating or editing a custom role.
How often does analytics data update?
Data updates in near real time. Metrics for the current shift are available immediately after an operation is completed.
How do I compare two clubs in a network?
In the analytics sections, the club is selected via the switcher in the CRM header. To compare two clubs, open the same report in two browser tabs with different clubs selected. Aggregated network views are available in the organisation-level management blocks.
Where do I find bonus analytics?
Analytics → Bonus Report has three tabs: Metrics (overall accrual and redemption statistics), Operations (detailed log of each bonus transaction), and Tag Report (bonus operations grouped by label). Top-up bonuses have their own metrics section with a breakdown by automation rules.
What does the hall load heatmap show?
The heatmap in Session Report → Hall Load Heatmap displays a day-of-week × hour-of-day matrix where each cell is shaded by the number of active sessions. It lets you spot peak hours and off-peak gaps in seconds — useful for scheduling discounts or evaluating marketing campaigns.
