Introduction

Metolius Golf is a leader in delivering real-time business intelligence and analytics to its clients in the golf industry. To achieve this, they aggregate data from various sources, including Google Analytics, Lightspeed POS, and Lightspeed Retail. However, they faced significant hurdles in securely collecting this data from clients and simplifying their complex onboarding process.

The Original Problem

Two years ago, Metolius identified two key challenges:

Secure Data Collection: They needed a secure method to collect sensitive data from clients, including authorization to access various data sources.
Complex Onboarding: Streamlining the onboarding process for clients was essential. Reducing friction while ensuring data security was the top priority.

The Solution by Rocket Jones

Metolius Golf turned to Rocket Jones for a solution. Rocket Jones recognized the need for a simplified process for both Metolius and its clients. Here's how the partnership evolved:

Automated Authorization: Rocket Jones built a simple admin interface for Metolius admins, enabling them to auto-generate OAuth links for clients. This streamlined the authorization process.
Data Integration: Over time, Metolius realized the potential to do more with client and user data. They moved away from using Google Sheets for data collection and integrated additional tools.
Enhanced Client Access: Clients could now access reports, update budgets, and perform tasks more efficiently thanks to automated integrations for authentication and identity verification through Google.
User Management: Rocket Jones expanded into user management, simplifying data access, increasing visibility into reports and tools for users, and enhancing onboarding.
Improved Data Accuracy: The automation reduced reliance on the human factor, resulting in faster data analysis and increased data accuracy.
