Subscription Metrics Overview and Features

The Subscription Metrics SuiteApp helps you track, analyze, and report on essential recurring revenue metrics with interactive dashboards. It's built for subscription companies using NetSuite that want to drive growth and improve business performance.

The SuiteApp uses the Subscription Metric Reporting feature to automatically calculate the impact of new business, upsells, downsells, and churn on your transactions and subscriptions. For more information, see SaaS Metric Reporting.

You gain better forecasting, cash management, and strategic planning. The SuiteApp provides actionable insights into recurring revenue, customer retention, and unit economics.

The SuiteApp includes three dashboards, each focused on a key area of subscription business health:

• Working with the Revenue Metrics Dashboard - Track and analyze revenue growth, MRR evolution, and KPIs.

• Working with the Retention Metrics Dashboard - Gain insights into customer retention, churn, and renewal trends.

• Working with the Unit Economics Dashboard - Assess profitability, pricing, and customer acquisition efficiency.

To get started, install and set up the SuiteApp. For instructions on configuring default exchange rate type, period profile, and other initial settings, see Setting Up KPI Formulas and Preferences.

After setup, access the dashboards to explore metrics, drill into details, and export data for further analysis.
