Lakeview Social Club: Member Experience Excellence
About Lakeview Social Club
Established in 2015, Lakeview is a residential social club offering dining, sports facilities, and event spaces to 450 member families, generating ₹4.2 Cr annual revenue. Strong community reputation but operational friction was creating member dissatisfaction and board concern over profitability visibility.
The Challenges They Faced Before RanceLab
House account billing was taking 8-10 days to generate monthly statements with frequent errors and member complaints. Billing disputes averaged 15-20 monthly, consuming staff time and damaging member relationships. Event revenue was unclear—hosting 10+ private events monthly but profitability was unknown. Facility booking via phone and WhatsApp was causing double bookings and member frustration.
The Solution Provided by RanceLab
RanceLab implemented a real-time house account system with member portal for self-service statement access. Automated billing with clear descriptors and itemized transaction details reduced disputes. An event management module with complete P&L tracking per event was deployed. An online facility booking portal with instant confirmation and availability visibility eliminated double bookings.
The Outcomes They Achieved
Billing cycle was reduced from 8-10 days to real-time with 24/7 member portal access. Billing disputes were reduced by 78% as members review charges proactively and errors are caught early. Event profitability was revealed, identifying 3 event types losing money, leading to adjusted pricing and packages.
Facility utilization improved 31% as online booking eliminated friction and increased member usage. Staff time was reallocated from administrative fire-fighting to proactive member engagement. Overall member satisfaction scores improved from 6.8 to 8.6 within 6 months.
