Burn Boot Camp is dedicated to transforming lives through fitness. As a rapidly growing franchise with over 350 locations nationwide in over 43 US states, the company needed a better way to manage the massive amounts of data generated by its mobile app, point of sale (POS) system, and other sources. Without a centralized platform, there was a lack of trust in company data that made it difficult to leverage for critical business insights.
