Sigma Computing Consulting for B2B SaaS Companies
Close the month and prep the board deck without rebuilding ARR in a spreadsheet. We build Sigma workbooks on Snowflake that keep revenue, retention and pipeline current.
The short answer
Where the Hours Go Today
- ARR is rebuilt in a spreadsheet every month from billing and CRM exports.
- Sales, finance and the board each see a slightly different churn number.
- Cohort retention is a one-off analysis rather than a report.
- Customers ask for usage reporting, and engineering keeps building it by hand.
Sigma Workbooks We Build
- ARR and MRR Movements
- New, expansion, contraction and churned revenue by month, tied to the billing system so finance can check it.
- Cohort Retention
- Logo and revenue retention by signup cohort, plan and segment, refreshed with every load.
- Pipeline to Revenue
- Pipeline from the CRM next to closed revenue and billings, so forecasts and bookings use the same definitions.
- Board Metrics
- The recurring board numbers in one workbook, with a scheduled PDF so the deck starts from current figures.
- Embedded Customer Analytics
- Customer-facing reports embedded in your product, with each customer limited to its own rows.
Why Sigma Fits
- Finance-friendly grid
- Finance and RevOps work in a spreadsheet grid on live Snowflake data, so they can check an ARR bridge without exporting it.
- Embedding with row-level security
- Sigma supports JWT-signed secure embeds that pass user attributes for row-level security, so each customer sees only its own data.
- Inputs for plans and targets
- Input tables store budgets, quotas or manual adjustments in the warehouse, next to the actuals they are compared with.
Data We Connect
- Billing and subscription system
- CRM
- Product usage events
- Accounting system
- Support and customer success tools
- Snowflake
Common questions
Is Sigma good for SaaS metrics?
Sigma fits SaaS teams with billing, CRM and usage data in Snowflake and finance users who work in spreadsheets. ARR, churn and cohort views can then run on live warehouse data.
Can Sigma be used for embedded customer-facing analytics?
Yes. Sigma supports JWT-signed secure embeds with row-level security, so each customer sees only its own rows. Embedding comes with the paid platform, so compare it with your other options first.
Sigma or Omni for a SaaS company?
Pick Omni if your data team wants a code-defined semantic model in git. Pick Sigma if finance and operations users want a full spreadsheet on warehouse data and need to enter data back into it.
Can Sigma calculate ARR from our billing data?
Yes, once billing and CRM data are modeled in Snowflake. We write down how upgrades, downgrades, credits and cancellations count toward ARR, then check the result against finance's numbers.
How long does a Sigma build take?
It depends on your billing and CRM setup, how much history you need and whether you want embedded reports. We scope it on a short call.
