Partners with an active DreamInsights licence can view the aggregated financial and demographic data of all affiliated groups once linked through each group’s DreamSave account. Key demographic metrics include members' age, gender, education level, and number of dependents. Key aggregated financial metrics include Cumulative Savings, Average Savings per Member and Loan Fund Utilization Rate among many others.
Partners can also view the information about the formation of groups, such as the number of groups formed and the average number of members per group. Financial, geographic and demographic information at a group level can also be viewed and downloaded into Excel spreadsheets to analyse the weekly performance of a given group.
See our DreamInsights Glossary for more information about the specific metrics available on Insights and their formulation.
Do my groups need to be using the DreamSave App for me to use DreamInsights?
To get the full benefits of DreamInsights, it’s best if the savings groups you support use the DreamSave app. The DreamSave app simplifies meetings, automates transactions, allows savings group members to set and track progress towards their own savings goals, and empowers members to better understand their finances. The groups’ data seamlessly syncs to DreamInsights, providing your team with real-time access to rich data that can improve your ability to manage projects and support groups.
Will I be able to see member-level data on DreamInsights?
Not at this time. De-identified member-level data can however be shared with a partner through PowerBI upon request as an additional paid value-added service.
How soon will I be able to see savings group data reflected on the platform?
Savings group accounts will become visible on DreamInsights within approximately 24hours of the account being set up.
How frequently will savings group data update?
Data is refreshed approximately every 24hrs. This means that the latest data will become visible within a day of groups backing up their data to the DreamSave cloud server.
Can I export data from DreamInsights?
Yes! Group formation and financial data can be exported into an Excel spreadsheet across all groups as well as at an individual group level.
Can I customise the analysis on DreamInsights in any way to better meet my reporting needs?
Several filters can be applied by partners to tailor their view of group data, including by project, time and group age.
How long does it take to get an account setup on DreamInsights?
An account can be registered by partners immediately once groups have been onboarded to DreamSave.
How much does it cost to use DreamInsights to monitor the performance of my affiliated groups?
Access to DreamInsights is FREE for the first 50 groups onboarded to DreamSave. If additional groups are added to DreamSave, this data can be unlocked for analysis on DreamInsights through a subscription payment. Please reach out to info@dreamstartlabs.com for more information about pricing.
How many users can join a DreamInsights account?
Can partners manage the data access and permissions of users invited to their DreamInsights accounts?
Yes! You can read more about how account owners on DreamInsights can manage user permissions in this article: “DreamInsights User Permissions.”
Can DreamInsights accommodate consortium-based organizations?
Partners that are part of a consortium are welcome to use DreamInsights as long as the consortium leader has a partnership with DreamStart Labs. Once this condition is met, the consortium leader simply needs to invite the member accounts either as national-level or project-level users, to view the data they need.
DreamInsights is 100% tamper-proof by design. This means that no user is capable of adjusting or editing any data recorded and saved by a savings group ex-ante. Only savings groups, as owners of their DreamSave account, have the power to edit the data of their last meeting in DreamSave.
