Reporting for your part of software

Choose the questions and measures that matter to your business. These examples show different reporting needs within the industry; the available analysis depends on the records you supply.

SaaS businesses

Review recurring revenue, renewals and customer cohorts. Agree on the treatment of expansion, contraction and cancellations before comparing retention.

Licensed software

Explore license income, customer mix and support or maintenance renewals. Keep one-time revenue separate from recurring commitments.

Software and service businesses

Compare product and service income, customer concentration and delivery costs. Usage questions depend on the product activity records you supply.

How it works

Three steps, in this order.

Bring a sample

Customer and product IDs, contract dates, revenue and relevant renewal, usage or cost records.

Shape your views

Start with standard dashboards. Agree on the measures, reporting periods and business structure your customized views need.

Work with an AI analyst to investigate the available data and prepare reports. Review the definitions and results in the context of your business.

Short answers. The Help center has the long ones.

What data should I start with?

Customer and product IDs, contract dates, revenue and relevant renewal, usage or cost records.

Do I have to use the example dashboard?

The example illustrates one part of the industry. Standard dashboards are a starting point; views can be customized to your business and data as part of your agreed setup.

Can every report work from the same sample?

The report depends on the fields, history and definitions in your sample. Start with one question, identify the records it needs and confirm any gaps before relying on a comparison.
