For you as a SaaS company, key figures such as the MRR (Monthly Recurring Revenue), the churn rate or the Customer Lifetime Value (CLTV) are certainly crucial. With HubSpot, you can not only save and monitor these KPIs in properties, but also display them perfectly in user-defined dashboards.

Your SaaS business is based on licenses and subscriptions? No problem! In HubSpot, you can create licenses as custom objects, making it even easier to manage your customers.
Within the custom object, you can save information such as license type, contract term and renewal date. This is the best way to manage your subscriptions clearly.
If you add workflows to the custom object, HubSpot can automatically send emails to remind you and your customers of renewals or upgrade options in good time.

Customer loyalty is the be-all and end-all in the SaaS business. With HubSpot, you can divide your customers into different segments and launch targeted marketing campaigns to strengthen the relationship and fully exploit the potential of your product portfolio.
