Rokform:
One Weekly View for Every Leadership Decision
Rokform now runs its business from one weekly view. Working with Rudder Analytics, it modelled its key metrics in one semantic layer, so growth, margin, customers, product and cash share one set of numbers.
One cadence. Five decisions. Every week.
Leadership now opens one dashboard that answers five decision questions at once, with acquisition spend tied to customer value.
Decision pillars in one executive view.
Governed operating rhythm, replacing ad hoc requests.
Week trend windows for every key metric.
Channel-level acquisition and payback visibility.
Every KPI is benchmarked against target and the same week last year.
“Running Rokform, the hardest part of growth was getting everyone to steer by the same numbers. Rudder Analytics solved that. Leadership now works from one trusted view of the business, decisions happen in the meeting instead of after another round of reconciliation, and the company moves faster for it. They understood our business, thought beyond dashboards, and built a foundation that will scale with our ambitions. They take ownership and deliver what they promise, which is all I ask.”
A Fast-Growing Brand Ready for One Set of Numbers
Rokform designs rugged phone cases and mounting systems in the USA, built around its patented RokLock™ twist lock. It sells direct to consumers and through Amazon.
As Rokform grew, each team built reporting around its own needs. The next step was a single weekly view linking growth, margin, product and cash, with acquisition spend tied to the value of the customers it brings in.
Rugged, Crystal and Slim cases connect to car, bike, motorcycle and golf mounts through one twist-lock system.

One trusted weekly view showing leadership where to invest more, or less, across growth, margin, customers, product and capital.
Five Questions Leadership Asks Every Week
Each team tracked performance in its own way. The CAC brief set a clear goal: connect spend, acquisition quality, customer value, contribution margin and payback in one place.
Five questions every week, answered from five different places.
Is growth healthy or discount-driven?
Are we making money on each order?
Which customers are worth acquiring?
Are new launches paying back?
Is growth turning into cash?
Bringing the five pillars together lets leadership move from comparing reports to making decisions.
Leadership time went into reconciling reports before discussions could move to decisions.
Tie acquisition spend to the value and payback of the customers it brings in.
Four Rules Behind the Executive View
The KPI model and semantic layer came first, so every number means the same thing in every meeting.
Benchmark every KPI two ways
Each metric shows actual against target and the same period last year.
Show direction, not just position
13-, 26- and 52-week windows reveal seasonality and whether changes are holding.
Tie acquisition to payback
Channel CAC sits next to predicted LTV and contribution margin, replacing blended CAC.
Organise around decisions
Each pillar answers one question leadership asks every week.
One Semantic Layer, Five Pillars
Rudder Analytics modelled the metrics that matter, then built the CEO weekly dashboard and a CAC analysis framework on top.
AOV by channel, accessory revenue share and add-on attach sit beside contribution margin and EBITDA per transaction.
Predicted one- and two-year LTV, CAC against LTV and monthly cohort retention from first purchase.
Spend connects to CAC and contribution-margin-to-CAC by channel, with entry-product intelligence and attribution.
Sales per SKU, R&D spend and launch ROI sit alongside EBITDA against marketing spend, cash conversion and return on assets.
Decisions Happen in the Meeting
The biggest change is in the room: leadership meetings now move straight to decisions.
Ad hoc, built on request.
A standing weekly operating rhythm.
Blended CAC across every channel.
CAC:LTV and CM:CAC by channel.
Not yet part of the weekly view.
Monthly cohort retention from first purchase.
Sales per SKU and launch ROI now show whether new cases and mounts are earning back their development cost.

Channel-level CAC beside customer value shows leadership where to invest more, and where to pull back.
A Foundation That Scales With the Business
Because every metric is defined once in the semantic layer, new channels, products and reports build on the same logic instead of starting over.
Agree on the definitions before the dashboard. A shared semantic layer is what turns a report into an operating rhythm.
