THE QUESTION WE ASKED
"Can we generate our quarterly peer group business review from our PSA data, automatically?"
One question. The AI connected to Power BI, cross-referenced PSA ticket data, revenue records, employee data, and sales pipeline. It generated this full QBR report in under two minutes.

Every quarter, MSP owners spend hours pulling numbers from their PSA, accounting software, and CRM to fill in a spreadsheet for their peer group. The data is scattered, the formulas break, and by the time it is done, the quarter is already over.

With Proxuma's Power BI integration, this same report is generated in under two minutes. All numbers flow from your live PSA data. No copy-pasting. No broken formulas. Just ask the question and get the answer.

The numbers tell a clear story. This MSP grew revenue by 23% from Q1 to Q4 while keeping headcount flat at 18 FTE. Profit margin nearly doubled from 11.4% to 19.9% in the same period. Here is what stands out from the data.

Key Insights

Automatically generated observations from the data patterns.

MRR growth is outpacing expenses

Quarterly MRR grew from €249K to €277K (+11.2%) while total expenses grew from €428K to €478K (+11.5%). Revenue growth at 23.4% is more than double the expense growth rate.

Close rate is above peer group benchmark

The sales close ratio of 33-39% exceeds the peer group target of 15-30%. The sales team is converting appointments into agreements at a high rate, with Q4 hitting 39%.

NRR-to-MRR ratio is above target

At 0.56-0.67, the NRR-to-MRR ratio is well above the 0.32 benchmark. A large share of revenue comes from project work. While profitable today, shifting more toward MRR would create more predictable cash flow.

Technical revenue per employee is below target

Annualized service revenue per technical employee (€180K-€211K) is below the €250K peer group target. Growing the seat base without adding technical staff would close this gap.

Average AISP is in the target range

AISP of €141-€146 per seat falls within the €100-€150 target range. Pricing is competitive without leaving money on the table.

Ticket backlog is under control

Close percentage above 100% in all four quarters means the team is consistently clearing more tickets than are coming in. No growing backlog, and resolution time stayed flat at 1.49 hours.
