Project Overview

ISSA, a global provider of professional fitness certifications, engaged Stellans to modernize its data infrastructure. The goal was to standardize analytics, improve reporting reliability, and enable predictive modeling to better track student outcomes and business performance. Stellans delivered a full data platform transformation: implementing modernization, analytics standardization, and advanced predictive capabilities to support ISSA’s global growth.

Challenge

Legacy database created performance bottlenecks and scalability limitations. Business logic was buried in complex, undocumented SQL queries with no standardization. Metrics calculated differently across teams resulted in inconsistent KPIs and reduced data trust. No unified user journey view across GA4, HubSpot, and Internal CRM systems. Static ROAS reporting with no predictive capabilities or campaign optimization insights. Manual processes dominated with no foundation for advanced analytics or machine learning.
