Xn Insight

Insight into your business!

Information is critical to the success of any business and leisure is no exception. Huge effort is spent collecting information on prospects, members, bookings, courses and classes’ right through to Health, Safety and Operational data. At Xn Leisure, we work tirelessly towards simplifying data collection via a range of products that gather information accurately and efficiently; providing the right management information for you.

Now is the time to systematically analyse business metrics that answer key questions, test hypotheses and evaluate outcomes. Xn Leisure in partnership with 4 global have developed a web product called Xn Insight. Designed to cut through the ‘fog’ of data, to compute and display Key Performance Indicators that matter, Xn Insight is the web based window into the world of Business Intelligence. Dashboard views of critical areas within your business are available on desktop, tablet or mobile devices. Running multiple reports and cross referencing spreadsheets are a thing of the past. Instant penetrating data analysis is what is needed to measure true business performance.

Xn Insight allows the user to create dashboard items for themselves or other team members through the simple application of a few filters. This web tool allows you to optimize information and interpret KPI’s in an accurate, timely and effective manner. It ensures that the right people have relevant information to hand all the time. Whether it is your CEO, General Manager, Membership, Gym or Rackets Manager; information available when you need it.

Xn Insight produces both tabular and graphical data representations that can be exported to your strategic reports or funding bids throughout the organisation. The dynamic crisp design allows you to drill down and step further into the detail to produce specific information on all your business areas.

Xn Insight permits the user to publish selected data to their own personal desktop or distribute to a colleague’s dashboards for timely and precise management information. Using a variety of display types the data is automatically updated based on the selected criteria.

Xn Insight will form part of a continuous improvement programme that Xn Leisure will assist you with. Our industry expertise and connections will help with the development of your business goals and achievement of strategic excellence. Timely accurate information will save time for operational staff, and create efficiencies and profitability, without employing expensive business analysts. Xn Leisure has been a partner to the industry for nearly 40 years and continues to enhance its product suite with its new innovative solution - Xn Insight.

Xn Insight is fully integrated into the Sport Intelligence (sector wide) DataHub, as part of Xn’s ongoing partnership with 4 global. The DataHub is a central set of business intelligence tools based around consistent sector wide data standards aligned with national governing body participation and programming intelligence and allows for operator reporting to seamlessly align with the ability to target and track interventions.

New starters in the Xn team

Bern Jackson, First Line Team Leader I started my career in IT some ten years ago as a 1st line support analyst, working alongside the MOD, resolving customer issues over the phone. I then pursued a career in the management and organisational side of things. I then spent four years in the education sector working for Bathspa University as one of their IT managers. From there I moved into the commercial sector looking after application support teams for the automotive industry. I am very much looking forward to supporting the leisure industry in the next stage of my career.


Tamara Selaman, Project Co-ordinator I started my career as an office manager and found my key skills to be organising, co-ordinating and project management. I have over ten years’ experience in software training, software implementation managing the full project lifecycles - all customer focused. In my spare time I run my own therapy and dance businesses for adults and children.


Mark Tarrant, Tester I joined Xn in May, doubling the size of the Test team. I have spent the last five years as a tester working with cutting edge gas and electricity metering technology and I look forward to adapting my skillset to testing the wide range of products that Xn has to offer.


Joe Walker, Junior Document Writer I was lucky enough to join Xn at the start of June not long after leaving formal education. I previously worked part time whilst attending college and this is my first full time job. Through this trainee position I hope to learn new skills and develop some existing ones.
