The story

ABC Fitness Solutions (formerly American Billing Company) has evolved from a fitness-club billing bureau into a full-suite vertical SaaS platform for the fitness industry. FitnessBI is its analytics and reporting layer, aggregating data across ABC's other management products (Ignite, Glofox, Trainerize, Evo, GymSales, XLerate). ABC monetizes fitness billing as a registered MSP/ISO under Central Bank of St. Louis (US) and Wells Fargo (Canada) — payment processing is an in-house merchant-of-record product, not an integration with a third-party PSP.
