reduction in reporting prep workload
Summary
Manual reporting was draining time and productivity for a fast-growing B2B SaaS startup whose marketing team spent 6 hours every week compiling performance data from LinkedIn Ads, Meta Ads, GA4, and HubSpot CRM.
The process not only delayed decision-making but also created a single point of failure where one person managed all reporting while underperforming campaigns ran unchecked for days.
With Lumina Studio’s help, the company implemented a fully automated dashboard architecture through Databox, integrating real-time data feeds across all marketing and CRM platforms.
The solution unified six live dashboards covering ads, content, funnel metrics, and website behavior, completely removing the need for manual data pulls. As a result, reporting time dropped by 75%, leadership gained instant visibility into CAC and ROAS, and campaign response times improved dramatically.
The automation both saved hours and transformed marketing operations from reactive to proactive, enabling faster optimization, lower acquisition costs, and smarter decision-making across the board.

About the Client
This growing B2B SaaS company was burning 6 hours weekly on manual data pulls across LinkedIn Ads, Meta Ads, GA4, and HubSpot CRM. Their marketing team needed an automated dashboard solution to eliminate spreadsheet chaos and free up junior staff for campaign planning instead of report assembly.
The leadership demanded weekly performance visibility, but the current process created a dangerous single point of failure. One team member handled all reporting while campaigns potentially underperformed for days without detection.
Their goals were crystal clear: slash reporting time by 50% and gain instant visibility into CAC, CPL, and campaign ROAS across all channels.
The Challenge: Manual Real-Time Reporting Chaos
Every Monday morning started with the same painful routine. The marketing team manually pulled data from five different platforms to prepare leadership reports.
The core problems were crushing their efficiency:
No unified performance view: Paid and organic data lived in silos, making cross-channel analysis impossible
Dangerous dependency: Only one team member knew the reporting process, creating major risk
Attribution blindness: LinkedIn campaigns couldn't be traced to actual trial signups in HubSpot
Delayed response times: Underperforming content and ads ran unchecked for days
Six hours vanished each week. Junior marketers spent precious time copying data instead of optimizing campaigns or planning strategic initiatives.
The leadership team made decisions on week-old data. Budgets shifted slowly. Opportunities disappeared while competitors moved faster.
The Solution
Automated Dashboard Architecture
We designed a comprehensive automated reporting suite through Databox, creating six specialized dashboards for complete funnel visibility. Each automated dashboard pulled live data from their existing tools, eliminating manual data entry entirely.
Real-Time Reporting Implementation
The C-Level Overview Dashboard became their command center, displaying real-time MRR, CAC, trial-to-paid conversion rates, and total marketing spend. Leadership could now see performance metrics updated hourly instead of waiting for weekly reports.
Automated KPI Dashboard Development
Our Paid Ads Dashboard combined Meta and LinkedIn data to track CPL, ROAS, and ad set performance in one view. The Content Performance Dashboard unified blog metrics, LinkedIn organic reach, and email campaign results. Meanwhile, the CRM & Funnel Dashboard pulled HubSpot deal stages and form fills to visualize conversion drop-offs immediately.
Performance Reporting Automation
We built a Website Behavior Dashboard embedding GA4 and Hotjar data to track bounce rates and high-exit pages. Every Monday, an auto-generated PDF report landed in founders' and marketing team inboxes, powered by our data automation dashboard integrations.
