Read context

Most outdoor sports schools can tell you what they booked. Far fewer can tell you why the season went the way it did — where customers dropped off before paying, which weeks actually made money once costs were counted, or how one base compares to another. That answer usually lives in exported spreadsheets, pieced together after the fact.

Insights & Analytics reads the data already moving through TIDEFORCE — your bookings, checkout, payments and day-to-day operations — and turns it into a picture of how the school performs. Because it sits on the same connected record as the rest of the platform, you are not reconciling separate systems by hand; the numbers come from the same source your school already runs on. The core Insights views are live and evolving. The wider Analytics Workbench connects those business views with delivery, team, equipment, quality and exception records, while Customer 360 follows the relationship across supported returns.

What is live today

Income and costSee the money coming in and the money going out side by side,judging the season on revenue aloneRead moreRead less

See the money coming in and the money going out side by side, instead of judging the season on revenue alone. Income flows from the bookings and payments processed in TIDEFORCE, so the figures track what actually happened at checkout rather than a separate ledger you maintain on the side.

Booking-engine funnelThe funnel view shows how customers move through your booking enginewhere they drop off before they payRead moreRead less

The funnel view shows how customers move through your booking engine — and where they drop off before they pay. If people are leaving at a particular step, you can see it rather than guess at it, which tells you where a change to your storefront is most likely to matter.

Profit trendsLook at profit over time, not just a single end-of-month totalTrends let you compare weeks and seasons and see the shape of how the school is doingRead moreRead less

Look at profit over time, not just a single end-of-month total. Trends let you compare weeks and seasons and see the shape of how the school is doing, so a strong-looking month with high costs reads differently from one that genuinely landed ahead.

Operational KPIs and multi-location visibilityInsights pulls operational signals from the same data that runs your daythe operational side of the school sits next to the financial sideRead moreRead less

Insights pulls operational signals from the same data that runs your day, so the operational side of the school sits next to the financial side instead of in a separate tool. Schools with more than one base can compare locations and see the operation in one place. The set of KPIs is evolving as this part of the product grows.

Read status
Maturity, kept explicit. Income and cost, the booking-engine funnel with drop-off, profit trends, operational KPIs and multi-location visibility are live today and evolving. The wider Analytics Workbench and Customer 360 are Beta / limited rollout. Their signals depend on enabled modules, source-record quality, permissions, identity configuration and consent; missing evidence stays unknown. Native customer reviews and ratings, and best-performing-instructor or course-performance dashboards, are not part of live Insights today.

From first interest to the next booking

When a TIDEFORCE-built or connected school website has the required analytics and consent configuration, website interactions can add pre-booking context: which offers were viewed, which calls to action were used and whether someone returned before converting. These are consented intent signals, not a promise to identify every anonymous visitor.

The moment a guest books, interest becomes structured demand: product, date, location, participants, booking value, payment state and customer identity where known. Commerce views bring paid revenue, booking value, arrivals, new users and booking trends together without a second reporting export.

Deliver — what actually happenedOnce the lesson starts, the operational record takes overdepending on which workflows the school records in TIDEFORCE.Read moreRead less

Once the lesson starts, the operational record takes over. Planned and delivered sessions, team hours, attendance, disruptions, groups, instructor allocation, equipment assignment and session reports can sit on the same chain as the original booking — depending on which workflows the school records in TIDEFORCE.

Customer 360 brings source-backed booking, lesson, equipment, communication, review and purchase evidence into one permission-aware profile. Lifecycle stage, repeat activity, confirmed lifetime value, visits and recent events give the office context without turning an assumption into a fact.

TIDEFORCE can surface a next-session progression, a review request or a retention-care prompt from the evidence available. These are decision-support recommendations. Promotional outreach is not sent automatically without durable consent, and broad lifecycle campaign automation remains follow-on work.

Track paid revenue, booking value, arrivals, new users, bookings created over time and shop outcomes for the selected period. The purpose is not another vanity dashboard; it is a shared view of what moved and where to investigate next.

See first-time, repeat and loyal relationships, confirmed lifetime value, recent activity and the timeline behind each profile. Existing Customer Tiers add a staff-visible loyalty signal based on configured lifetime booking or payment thresholds, with manual overrides for real-world exceptions. The directory can surface high-value or churn signals and a supported next action while keeping identity, consent, attendance and equipment coverage visible; tier-driven campaigns remain future work.

Compare planned sessions with delivery, reported team hours and disruptions. A ranked attention view points to undelivered hours, cancelled or missed sessions and incomplete records, so managers can move from a KPI to the underlying operational evidence.

Where identifiable feedback reports are captured in the Beta workbench, teams can follow session and instructor feedback with sample size and source coverage visible. Native customer reviews and ratings, and best-performing-instructor or course-performance dashboards, are not part of live Insights today.

Equipment & shopWhen equipment is assigned and shop records are connected, the workbench can relate operational usage to inventory and commerceExact equipment attribution depends on the school recording those assignmentsRead moreRead less

When equipment is assigned and shop records are connected, the workbench can relate operational usage to inventory and commerce. Exact equipment attribution depends on the school recording those assignments; used-gear recommendations and automated promotional offers are not presented as broadly live today.

Exceptions & data coverageEvery view can show its evidence coveragePartial source data, missing instructor reports and unresolved discrepancies are separated from business risksRead moreRead less

Every view can show its evidence coverage. Partial source data, missing instructor reports and unresolved discrepancies are separated from business risks, so the administrator sees both the decision and how reliable the underlying record is.

The most complete supported journey is possible when the school's website, booking engine and operations can share legitimate source context. The website provides the discovery layer, the booking engine provides the transaction, and operations records what was actually delivered. With the right consent, identity and source coverage, those signals can become one qualified lifecycle instead of three disconnected analytics accounts. Schools keeping an external site can explore Website Sync, Website Insights and Connected Journey; schools wanting a complete new site can see the TIDEFORCE School Websites service.

Why this is different from another dashboard

The booking, customer, lesson, instructor, group, equipment and report can remain connected instead of being reconciled after the season.Commerce outcomes and operational outcomes can be reviewed for the same period and location.The product exposes source coverage, confidence and missing records instead of making every chart look equally certain.Customer profiles remain permission-aware, and marketing recommendations remain bounded by consent.

The difference is the connection. TIDEFORCE does not ask the school to rebuild this picture after the season. Each supported step contributes to one auditable journey while permissions, consent and source coverage remain visible.

The recap

What is moving the business?What do we know about this customer?How was the experience?What should we consider next?
Read details

Because Insights reads the same connected record as your bookings, checkout and operations, your reporting reflects what really happened rather than a snapshot you assembled by hand. The Recommended full-platform model is transaction-based, with no mandatory monthly platform fee; complete commercial and payment terms are confirmed with your school before go-live. Hosting is on Google Cloud in the EU, and current privacy and processing details are available from TIDEFORCE. Your data stays yours. You can go live with your core setup fast, with guided onboarding.

Frequently asked questions

01

Where do the live Insights numbers come from?

+

From the data already moving through TIDEFORCE — your bookings, checkout, payments and operations. Insights sits on the same connected record as the rest of the platform, so you are not reconciling a separate reporting tool by hand.

02

Can I see where customers drop off before paying?

+

Yes. The live booking-engine funnel shows how customers move through your booking flow and where they leave before they pay, so you can see which step is costing you bookings rather than guessing.

03

Does the live view show profit, not just revenue?

+

Yes. You see income and cost side by side and profit trends over time, so a busy month with high costs reads differently from one that genuinely landed ahead.

04

Does live Insights work across more than one location?

+

Yes. If you run more than one base, live Insights gives you visibility across locations so you can compare sites and see the operation in one place rather than a separate report per location.

05

Is Customer 360 available today?

+

Customer 360 and the wider Analytics Workbench are in Beta and limited rollout. The available views and their completeness depend on the school's enabled modules, source records, permissions, identity configuration and consent.

06

Can TIDEFORCE identify every person who visits our website?

+

No. Where the website analytics, consent and identity setup are configured, consented interactions can add pre-booking context. Anonymous or unlinked activity must remain anonymous or source-scoped rather than being presented as a known customer.

07

What is included in a Customer 360 profile?

+

Depending on source coverage, the profile can connect booking, lesson, attendance, equipment, communication, review and purchase evidence with lifecycle stage, repeat activity, confirmed value and a traceable event timeline.

08

Can I compare the plan with what the school actually delivered?

+

Yes, in Beta. Operations views compare planned sessions and team hours with reported delivery, disruptions and the underlying records. Partial coverage is shown rather than silently treated as complete.

09

Does TIDEFORCE automatically email customers when spots are left or used gear is discounted?

+

Not as a broadly live capability today. TIDEFORCE can surface rules-based next actions and staff can use connected customer context, but promotional automation requires durable consent and suppression controls and remains follow-on work.

10

Do I need a TIDEFORCE-built website for these insights?

+

No. Booking and operations analytics can work from TIDEFORCE data without a new website. A TIDEFORCE-built or connected website can extend the journey with consented discovery and intent signals where the required integration is configured.

11

Why do some metrics show partial coverage or unavailable values?

+

Because the workbench keeps missing evidence visible. If attendance, team reports, payments or equipment assignments are incomplete, the related metric is marked as partial or unavailable instead of being filled with a guess.

12

Can I see native reviews or my best-performing instructors?

+

Not in live Insights today. Customer 360 and the Beta workbench can connect identifiable feedback evidence where it exists, but native customer reviews and ratings, and best-performing-instructor or course-performance dashboards, remain planned rather than broadly available.

13

Is Insights a finished, fixed set of reports?

+

No. The income and cost, funnel, profit-trend, operational-KPI and multi-location views are live and evolving. The wider Analytics Workbench and Customer 360 remain Beta / limited rollout.
