GOODBYE TO ‘SET & FORGET’
Traditional SaaS suffers from ‘set and forget’ syndrome. After purchasing the tool, stakeholders are often too busy to learn the new tool, or acquire the necessary skills to see any real value. So the data just sits there – untapped.
If the tool is used, it’s often not fit for purpose, requiring a level of customization that SaaS doesn’t offer.
We provide ‘data activation’ services – on top of customized dashboards – to help you to operationalize your data.

“The partnership with Host Digital has helped our portfolio companies to better understand and optimise traffic and conversion activities of their eCommerce channels.
Our brands have access to dashboards to fully understand marketing contribution – analysing customer lifetime value, understanding churn, and more. They’re now able to optimise based on a holistic and complete view rather than siloed out-the-box metrics from standard marketing platforms.”

Hi, I’m Alan Chapman
I work with companies like these to sell their vision online.
Investors have their own set of challenges when it comes to ecommerce. There’s usually no standardized view of portfolio performance. This is a problem in itself (measuring performance), but it also makes it more challenging difficult to support your portfolio companies.
Dashboards-as-a-service addresses this by automating reporting across your portfolio to give you a centralized view. Not only can you compare and contrast your investments, but it also enables your investments to optimize their ecommerce activities based on new data insights.
Schedule a call with me and I’ll take you through the specificic challenges, and what we’ve done to overcome them.
