Why Dashboards Matter Now More Than Ever

In today’s hyper-competitive markets, business leaders don’t have time to sift through spreadsheets or wait days for reports. They need real-time, visual insights — customized to their goals — to make smart decisions fast. That’s where custom analytics dashboards from Aztela come in. While off-the-shelf tools like Google Data Studio or Tableau templates offer surface-level insight, they often lack:

  • Contextual relevance to a specific business

  • Integration with unique internal data sources

  • Role-based views for decision-maker

  • Custom KPIs linked to strategy

Live Example: Custom Dashboard for a Subscription-Based SaaS

Client:

A mid-sized SaaS startup struggling with customer churn and vague marketing ROI.

Problem:

  • Using HubSpot and Stripe data, but no clear visibility into LTV, churn trends, or cost per acquisition by campaign.

  • Their marketing and product teams were working in silos.

Aztela’s Solution:

Aztela created a custom BI dashboard that:

  • Combined Stripe revenue data + HubSpot leads + Intercom user events

  • Visualized churn by cohort, source, and feature usage

  • Created tailored views for the CMO, CEO, and product team

  • Included predictive churn scoring powered by AI

Result:

  • CEO could instantly see LTV by acquisition source

  • Product team identified features underused by churned users

  • Marketing shifted budget toward high-retention lead sources

This dashboard alone led to a 22% increase in retention over 6 months.

Why Custom Dashboards Win

Off-the-Shelf

Interactive, predictive, real-time

When Should a Business Invest in Custom Dashboards?

  • You’re pulling data from more than 3 sources

  • Leaders are making decisions based on gut, not data

  • Teams spend hours preparing reports manually

  • You’ve invested in data collection (GA4, CRM, ERP) but aren’t using it effectively
