The Challenge
Drowning in administrative chaos preventing business growth
Anant Drishti Yoga was trapped in operational chaos that prevented scaling their wellness business:
WhatsApp Booking Nightmare
All class bookings came through WhatsApp messages, creating constant chaos. Anjali spent 4-5 hours daily manually tracking bookings in spreadsheets, responding to individual messages, and sending payment reminders. Double-bookings occurred 3-5 times per week, causing member frustration and awkward conversations. Growth was impossible—she couldn't teach more classes while drowning in admin work.
Manual Payment Chase
Members would book classes but forget to pay, requiring constant follow-up. Monthly membership renewals were manually tracked in spreadsheets with frequent missed payments. Reconciling payments with attendance took 8+ hours each month. No way to offer automatic recurring billing for memberships, leading to payment delays and cash flow issues.
Zero Member Retention System
No automated reminders meant members forgot about upcoming classes, leading to no-shows. No system to identify at-risk members who hadn't booked in weeks. Community building was impossible—members couldn't see or favorite upcoming classes. Workshop announcements required individual WhatsApp messages to hundreds of people.
Limited Visibility & Analytics
No data on which classes were popular or underperforming. Couldn't track member attendance patterns or preferences. No way to forecast capacity needs or optimize class schedules. Business decisions were made on gut feeling rather than data.
The Bottom Line:
Anjali was spending more time on admin than teaching yoga. The business couldn't scale beyond 80 members without hiring dedicated administrative staff. She needed complete automation to reclaim her time and focus on what she loved: teaching.
