Describe the dashboard to Appaca
Tell Appaca: "Build a subscription management dashboard with subscribers (company, plan, MRR, start date, status), monthly revenue snapshots (total MRR, new MRR, expansion MRR, churned MRR), an event log (new signup, upgrade, downgrade, cancellation), and charts for MRR trend and churn rate over time."
- 3
Import your subscriber list
Add your current subscribers with their plan, MRR, and start date. If you have a large subscriber base, import from your billing system via CSV.
- 4
Log monthly events
At the end of each month, log all subscription events: new signups, upgrades, downgrades, and cancellations. These feed the MRR waterfall calculation.
- 5
Update revenue snapshots monthly
Create a monthly snapshot with total MRR, new MRR added, expansion MRR, churned MRR, and net MRR change. These snapshots build your revenue trend data.
- 6
Analyze churn patterns
Filter churned subscribers by plan, company size, and tenure. Patterns in who churns (by plan type, by time period) guide product and customer success investments.
