What is an Embedded Report Builder?
An embedded report builder is a tool that allows users within a SaaS application to create custom reports and visualizations directly without needing to switch to separate analytics software. Essentially, it embeds the report creation functionality right into the existing workflow.
What is an Embedded Report Builder Important to SaaS Companies?
Here’s why this is important for SaaS companies using embedded analytics software:
- Empowered Users, Streamlined Workflow: End users can get the insights they need faster and avoid the hassle of exporting data and using another tool for reports. This keeps them engaged within the SaaS platform.
- Increased Value Proposition: By offering embedded report building, a SaaS company enhances the value proposition of their product. It demonstrates a commitment to providing users with the tools to fully analyze their data.
- Reduced Development Burden: Building a custom report builder from scratch can be a significant undertaking. Embedded report builders eliminate this burden, allowing SaaS companies to focus on their core product development.
Overall, embedded report builders are a win-win for both SaaS companies and their users. They improve user experience, increase product value, and free up development resources.
