Developing an accurate and dependable subscription analytics system is complex. Problems, like missed webhooks and incorrect or duplicate webhook sequences, can lead to the loss of critical insights. Addressing edge cases and inefficiencies in various payment processors can consume significant time and resources, diverting attention from the core product. Despite dedicating over 600 man-hours to developing a plan for a robust subscription analytics stack, we continue to uncover new edge cases. It makes perfect sense to purchase such a stack and then build it in-house (Plugin: Check out SurgeGrowth). Looking forward to talking with folks who have faced or are facing similar problems. #BuildvsBuy

We’ve seen how tricky subscription and critical analytics (insights) can be—missed webhooks and duplicate entries can really throw a wrench in the works. It’s exciting, though, to be part of a journey where each new edge case we tackle brings us closer to a better, reliable and scalable solution. I’d love to connect with others who are navigating similar waters.

Having returned from SaaStr and having had the privilege of listening to some SaaS financial experts I think it is harder than ever for founders to understand what and why they are measuring certain metrics. In a "grow at all costs" era it is easy enough right? MRR, growth rate, new user acquisition rate... So long as you are growing your user base its all good. In our current era of "efficiency and EBITDA" we need to be focussing on metrics that may have previously been pushed to the background. One example that came up at SaaStr was if we are focussing on protecting and expanding our current customer base- "how do we measure "CAC" on expansion activities?" There was vigourous debate on measuring how much time your reps are spending on existing business vs new, system usage, time and effort etc. This can quickly become overwhelming for a new founder who is just trying to figure out which numbers they can actually gain insight from vs those that are just needed for reporting. We need to get back to the philosophy of metrics. Why are we collecting this data? When we read it, so what? How can I use this to drive insights? Don't get hung up on the input, focus on the insight and outcome you are seeking. Often when I meet with clients and they are hellbent on pulling out a particular segment or calculating a metric a certain way that we can't accommodate, it just takes a few questions to get to the outcome they are looking for not necessarily the input. I encourage founders to do the same. It is great to come in with an idea of the metrics you want to measure but if you find yourself frustrated not being able to calculate it effectively, step back, review the outcome you are trying to achieve and you may just find a better way to gain the insight you need. At worst, pick something, even if it is not the most accurate or trusted, pick something that can be consistently measured and experimented against, work on accuracy over time. If you get stuck, give me a buzz and I will try and help.

sheets.new The easiest way to add new software to your tech stack. The most convenient, accessible and incredibly flexible way to store and share information. But a total disaster for structuring, organising and managing workflows. Founders and Operators with elite spreadsheet skills will always use them, but if you manually paste data into them, they're siloed, disconnected, and always stale. If you're super smart, they're integrated, and you've used APIs. It's time to start exploring the no/lo code world and realise your true potential. There has never been a better time to start doing it. #thedarkstack #ecommerce #techstacks

There are some really nice #RevOps tools hitting the market. ⚙ I swear every day a new founder is in my inbox asking me to take a look. 📩 I think this is GREAT for the industry. It will help us do more with fewer people. These platforms often incorporate planning, forecasting, and reporting. 📊 BUT -- 🛑 A big but... 🤔 They will only take us so far. A strong data practice plus some key fundamentals being in place are the major pre-reqs for getting these things to shine. ✨ I'd love to help you go shopping for your RevOps platform of choice. 🛍 Anyone need help? Because I've got some favorites 😄 #revops #software #data

Today we reported Elastic’s Q3 earnings results. We delivered another strong quarter in our fiscal Q3 and raised our outlook for the year. I’m excited about the opportunities ahead, especially in the area of #GenerativeAI. Three main takeaways from our earnings report: First, customer interest in Generative AI remains strong, and as customers start to build Generative AI applications, they are increasingly able to appreciate the advantages of Elastic’s platform relative to pure play vector database vendors. Second, we saw continued momentum in platform consolidation as customers chose the Elasticsearch platform to displace incumbent solutions for multiple use cases, especially in Log Analytics and SIEM. Lastly, we saw continued stability in cloud consumption patterns as customers increased their consumption against their previous commitments. Thanks to the entire Elastic team, our customers, partners, and community members for supporting us steadfastly through our continued success.
