Key performance indicators (KPIs) and financial reporting dashboards make a significant difference when monitoring the operational health of your Software as a Service (SaaS) company. Dashboards compile the most critical KPIs, presenting them clearly and concisely to let you make the most informed, and confident data-driven decisions. This information is vital for identifying trends and opportunities that facilitate your company’s growth.
At Compass East, we understand the importance of KPI visualization for fast-growing SaaS companies. That’s the primary reason we deliver our clients the industry’s most comprehensive dashboards and visualization resources. These powerful tools provide the insights you need to identify root causes, drive action and grow your business.
Growing Your Business With KPI Dashboards
KPI metrics are critical to tracking your company’s performance against its goals and objectives. Because dozens of measurable metrics exist, monitoring all of them can be inefficient and unproductive. An effective dashboard allows you to consolidate and follow the most vital KPIs for your SaaS business, including monthly recurring revenue (MRR), customer acquisition cost (CAC), customer lifetime value (CLV), Retention Rates and Churn.
Without clear KPI dashboards, companies often miss the data that shows their business’s key drivers. Dashboards offer a streamlined approach that provides the information and insight you need to move your operation in the right direction.
Monitoring Key Metrics With KPI Solutions From Compass East
Depending on the nature of your SaaS business, your company’s KPIs may look different than your competitors. At Compass East, we offer solutions that let high-growth companies identify the metrics that matter most to their growth. Several types of KPIs our dashboards can monitor include:
- MRR and ARR: MRR is the total revenue you earn each month from your customers, regardless of the length of their contracts. Annual recurring revenue (ARR) represents the yearly totals.
- CAC: CAC measures the money your business spends to nurture leads and acquire new customers.
- CLV: CLV shows the total income your company can expect to earn from a customer throughout the relationship.
- Churn rate: The churn rate shows the percentage of customers or subscribers lost, a key indicator for measuring your customer retention rate.
These KPIs represent only a few examples of how data can help improve your business, from financials to sales to operations. The professional team at Compass East can help you develop a customized strategy to make sense of the metrics most relevant to your SaaS operation.
