Discover how Peggy Wang, Head of Finance at Vitally, uses custom Dashboards & Reporting to gain visibility into key financial and customer metrics.

About this Blueprint

Blueprints are a collection of Vitally best practices and use cases brought to you by today's Customer Success thought leaders.

If you’re a Finance leader, you know that it's important to have an accurate picture of your company's financial landscape. 

With Vitally’s Dashboards, teams can build custom reports to track revenue changes over time, monitor real-time customer metrics, and make informed decisions based on these insights.

Peggy Wang, Head of Finance at Vitally, uses Dashboards to gain visibility into key financial metrics, quickly identify areas of risk and opportunities, and effectively forecast revenue. In today's dynamic business climate, it's crucial to recognize that Customer Success Platforms (CSPs) are not only for Customer Success!

This Blueprint Includes...

In Peggy’s Blueprint, you’ll see a dedicated Finance Hub with three key Dashboards that will serve as a jumping off point for Finance leaders using Vitally:

  • Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR): Peggy uses Vitally as a source of truth for ARR tracking. She’s able to see the breakdown of ARR over time, customer count over time, and monthly expansion/contraction/churn/new business ARR changes. As a result, she has visibility into Vitally’s exact revenue numbers and can rely on them for accurate forecasting and reporting.
  • Gross Revenue Retention (GRR) / Net Revenue Retention (NRR): Similar to ARR tracking, this Dashboard acts as the source of truth for retention numbers at Vitally. In addition to being able to see retention numbers over time, Peggy has also built various custom reports that allow her to see historical churn based on customer tier and identify any patterns in different customer groups.
  • Churn & Risk: This Dashboard offers the latest view on churn/expansion/contraction forecasts for the next few months which are used in Vitally's financial projections. Vitally’s Account Management team also uses Vitally to track and update churn forecasts, which Peggy can then report on in a Churn & Risk Dashboard. No need to constantly reach out to the AMs to get updated churn forecasts!

Note: The reports displayed in this Blueprint are examples of what can be achieved with Dashboards. You’ll want to build and customize your own Dashboards & Reports with the data that’s important to you.
