Your ARR spreadsheet is six formulas deep and three contributors wide. It produces a different number every month.
This is the SaaS metrics trap for early-stage companies: ARR is calculated differently by the finance team, the CEO, and the investor relations function — often because the spreadsheet formulas are inconsistent, the definitions of new ARR vs expansion ARR are applied differently, and churn is sometimes net and sometimes gross depending on who built the tab. Research from Subscript (2025) found that 75% of SaaS companies use Excel for core metrics calculations, and 54% take six or more days to produce metrics when requested. B2B and SaaS Metrics replaces this with a single, definition-consistent, always-current metrics view.
Why For SMEs look for this solution
The real operational pain we solve
Problem
75% of SaaS companies calculate ARR, NRR, and churn in Excel — a method prone to formula errors and definition drift (Subscript, 2025)
Problem
54% of SaaS companies take six or more days to produce core metrics when requested by investors or boards (Subscript, 2025)
Problem
Only 16% of software companies achieve a Rule of 40 score above 40 — but most cannot calculate their current score in real time
Problem
The difference between a board meeting where you know your NRR and one where you estimate it is significant for investor confidence
How B2B and SaaS Metrics helps
B2B and SaaS Metrics connects to your subscription and sales data to calculate ARR, MRR, NRR, GRR, churn, LTV, CAC, Rule of 40, and Magic Number continuously. The ARR waterfall shows new, expansion, contraction, and churn ARR so you understand what is driving or eroding your recurring revenue. The cohort retention heatmap replaces the manual Excel build with an always-current visual. Every metric uses consistent definitions — the same ones for every stakeholder.
Before Alpomi vs After Alpomi
From pain to clarity with B2B and SaaS Metrics
Before
Investor update preparation: finance exports subscription data. Applies formulas to calculate ARR. Checks against last month. Numbers do not match. Spends a day reconciling. Produces a figure that the CEO adds to the update. Three days later.
With Alpomi
Investor update preparation: B2B and SaaS Metrics dashboard is opened. ARR waterfall shows current ARR, MoM change, and the breakdown of new vs expansion vs churn. NRR, Rule of 40, and burn multiple are all current. The update is prepared in an hour.
Before
Board asks about cohort retention. No one has built a cohort heatmap since last year's annual review. Finance says it will take two weeks. Board meeting happens without the data.
With Alpomi
Board asks about cohort retention. Revenue Cohort Grid in B2B and SaaS Metrics shows the retention heatmap by monthly cohort, updated through last month. The data is in the room.
