Simple WP Membership keeps its data model lean: wp_swpm_members_tbl holds member records with status, level, and registration data, wp_swpm_membership_tbl defines the level catalogue, and the payments log records each transaction with gateway and amount. The Pro tier (built on top of the core plugin with optional add-ons for recurring billing and gateway integrations) writes into the same tables plus add-on-specific keys.

The default SWPM admin handles configuration well: level builder, gateway settings, registration form designer. The operational view is the standard SWPM members screen, which lists members but does not pull last payment, lifetime spend, and next renewal alongside level and status. Cohort filtering across active, expired, and pending is partial, and bulk operations need either SWPM's API or direct SQL.

SleekView reads the SWPM tables directly, joins on member_id and user_id, and produces a member-centric roster with level, status, next renewal, last payment, and lifetime spend as columns. Inline status and level edits route through SWPM's API where supported.

Simple WP Membership earns its name by keeping the data model small and the admin clean. That clarity is a strength but it leaves operational questions one screen short. The members list shows level and status but not lifetime spend, last payment, or expiry runway.

Payment history sits in its own log. Cross-cutting questions (which active members are about to expire, which expired members had high LTV) need either SQL or several screens of clicking. SleekView reads the SWPM tables together and produces a single member-centric roster where the cross-cutting questions become one saved view.

The dunning queue is a filter on the payments log joined to the members table, the expiring-soon cohort is a sort on the expiry-date column, and the LTV leaderboard is an aggregation on the payments log. SWPM keeps doing what it does well, and SleekView covers the row-level ops layer the lean default admin was never designed for.
