Would you build your CRM from scratch? Then why are you building analytics that way?
In too many B2B SaaS companies, leadership reporting has become a full-time job. Not for analysts—for leaders. The CEO is waiting on updated dashboards. The CRO is running their own spreadsheets. The CMO is pulling together slides from multiple systems. Each executive spends hours each week chasing the same thing: a clear, trusted view of performance.
And the real problem? These time sinks aren’t getting anyone closer to insight.
Leadership reporting should be the final mile of an intelligent system. Instead, it’s become the front line of a data war—where trust is low, context is missing, and everyone is seeing something slightly different.
It doesn’t have to be this way.
Why Reporting Is So Painful
Let’s break down why this eats up so much time and energy.
- The data isn’t trusted. When metrics don’t match across systems, every meeting starts with a debate about the numbers rather than the decisions they’re meant to inform.
- The views aren’t standardized. Everyone builds their own decks, filters their own reports, and defines metrics their own way. There’s no single lens through which to view performance.
- The logic is constantly reinvented. What’s the definition of a qualified lead? A pipeline coverage ratio? Conversion rates? Without a shared analytics model, every view is bespoke—and every request takes hours to fulfill.
- The answers aren’t clear. Even when reports are accurate, they often don’t tell you what to do. They show the problem, but don’t surface the root cause—or the fix.
This is what happens when analytics are built from scratch.
You Wouldn’t Build Your CRM From Scratch. Why Build Analytics That Way?
We’ve accepted that enterprise systems like CRMs, ERPs, and marketing automation platforms should be bought—not built. But somehow, when it comes to analytics, B2B companies still believe they need to construct their data infrastructure from the ground up.
That approach is costing more than money. It’s costing time, clarity, and confidence.
The truth is, analytics isn’t just a data engineering problem—it’s a business logic problem. It takes decades of functional expertise to know what to measure, how to model it, and how to align it across revenue teams. And it takes a deep understanding of executive decision-making to present insights in a way that drives action.
This is where most internal efforts break down.
