What you can do with white-labeled reporting

Let's say you run a SaaS company that serves multiple clients. Your customers depend on your services as part of their business operations. They expect reports from your organization that highlight past period performance. Sure, you could create those reports individually in-house, but is it the most cost-effective and efficient way to do so? 

Probably not. That's where white-label reporting comes in.

In a multi-tenant application like the hypothetical SaaS company, a white-label reporting solution provides all the tools you need to create the custom reports your clients want. And with personalized reporting features, you can tailor each output to include stylized brand elements like company logos and color schemes. 

Here's a look at what you can gain when you implement white-label reporting as a business solution.

The many advantages of white-label reporting

Cost and time savings

Developing an in-house reporting system is outside the reach of many businesses. If you take a DIY approach, you may face the twin burdens of high expenses and time limitations. Implementing a pre-built, white-label reporting solution eliminates both of those issues. Check out this in-depth guide on deciding whether to build vs buy. 

Enhanced branding and customization

A white-label reporting system provides full support for branding and customization. You can use your brand's logo and color scheme, change up fonts, and create reports that reflect your exact business needs or those of your customers. No one will know you're using an outsourced reporting tool unless you decide to tell them!

That's important for companies that provide personalized client services or embed reporting within a custom application. For example, if you run a digital marketing firm that supports multiple organizations, you can create customized reports for each client, helping you stand out as the company with a personal touch. 

Increased efficiency and productivity

By integrating a white-label reporting tool within existing systems and data sources, developers can spend much less time manually transferring data from one platform to another. It also reduces the potential for errors that hinder report accuracy. 

A white-label reporting system like Jaspersoft allows for report scheduling or bursting, which helps better manage capacity, allows you to run reports when you're not readily available, and divides a single report into multiple reports for distribution to different recipients. That keeps clients happy since they receive the information pertinent to them, on time, every time.

Focus on core business

Accurate reporting is key for most organizations but often other functions — like marketing, finance, and customer service — demand valuable organizational resources. Rather than getting too bogged down building custom reports and analytics, you can let a white-label reporting tool do the heavy-duty lifting. That frees up your time for other activities essential to your core business. 

If your company provides a service, client reporting may be a crucial part of your delivery. With a white-label solution, it's easier to give customers what they want — personalized reports that clearly illustrate their results. 

Advanced features and functionality

At Jaspersoft, we’ve spent over two decades perfecting our platform so you can deliver the data visualizations and analytics your customers want. We're constantly introducing new features and updates to improve our products. That means your company benefits from modern tools that incorporate the latest innovations.

Our system scales directly with your business needs as Jaspersoft can easily support cluster architecture configurations that allow for additional servers to support user load increases. Adding load balancers or enhancing the number of servers can mitigate scalability challenges as data needs inevitably grow. 

Key components of white-label reporting

How do you know what to look for in white-label reporting? At a minimum, you'll want these features:

• Logo placement: A special designated area on each report to include your company's logo and branding.

• Cover pages for brand reinforcement: A place to share report titles, key details, and reinforce your brand messaging.

• Headers and footers: Fully customizable headers and footers you can modify to include branding, contact information, website URLs, and other critical information.

• Brand color flexibility: Tools that allow you to match your brand's exact fonts and colors within the reports.

• Email domain: The option to send client reports using your company's email domain rather than the service provider's.

• Dashboard domain: A company-hosted domain your clients can use to access their reports whenever they need to.

The crux of a well-designed white-label reporting tool lies in customization. With the right mix of personalization — from the cover page to email and website domains — it's possible to deliver exceptional reports that reflect the uniqueness of you or your customer's brand. 

How to choose the right reporting tool to implement white-label features

There are several white-label reporting tools available however, not all offer the same level of flexibility or customization options. Here are some hallmarks of a solid white-label reporting service.

Single, centralized configuration

You may create dozens or even hundreds of reports for clients on a regular basis. As you might imagine, updating every page manually for branding elements can take a lot of time. That's where a centralized configuration panel helps. With it, you can preconfigure the placement of logos, colors, and fonts so they appear automatically in selected reports.

Customizable setup

Differentiation is at the heart of good reporting as no two companies have the exact same data needs. You'll want a system that provides unlimited opportunities for dashboard and report customization. That way, you can design reports down to the pixel that exclusively serve your clients. 

Flexible export options

Also, look at the available export format options. Do these translate with pixel-perfect precision? Some clients may prefer emailed reporting via PDF or Excel files, while others want the ability to review reports via web services. The more options your white-label solution provides, the easier it is to meet their bespoke needs and expectations.
