Solid Choice!
They’re incredibly organized, thorough, and respect everyone’s time. Because of them, we’ll finally have a new LMS up in record time.
What standard reporting misses
Every LMS client we talk to has the same problem. The platform captures activity, not outcomes. It records that something happened, not whether it worked.
For learning companies that sell to businesses, that gap is a sales problem. A client who can say "this training saved us $40k" wins the renewal. A client who can show a completion rate doesn't.
The platform isn't the obstacle - the reporting architecture is.
We build the reporting layer that connects learning data to business reality: CRM records, team hierarchies, financial outcomes, and the engagement signals that actually matter to your clients.
6 reporting problems we've seen across every client we've worked with
You can't prove ROI to customers
If customers can't see the value you're providing to them, they leave for a competitor that can.
B2B customers can't act on data they can't see
Without real-time reports, they can't make decisions or support their team.
Engagement data is too shallow
Logins and completions are a start, but without knowing where people drop off or what they skip, you can't spot or fix problems.
Clients are looking at the wrong metrics
Logins don't tell them if their team is learning. They need data that connects to performance, progress, and business outcomes.
Your data is fragmented
The LMS, your CRM, your website with no single view of what's actually happening.
CEU and CPD tracking is a workaround
Continuing education credits require a second login, a separate system, or a manual award process. None of it scales.
We turn learning data into a commercial argument
Your clients need to justify the spend. That means connecting training activity to business outcomes - not just course completions. We build the dashboards that give your clients a clear view of what the training is doing for their business, and give you the data to win renewals.
Business outcome tracking tied to learner activity, so clients can prove the value of their training.

What is LMS reporting and why does it matter for my business?

LMS reporting is the data your learning platform captures about how people use it - completions, progress, engagement, and outcomes. For learning companies selling to businesses, it's what determines whether clients can see the value of their training. If the reporting is shallow, proving that value is harder than it needs to be.
What's the difference between LMS reporting and LMS analytics?
Reporting shows you what happened. Analytics helps you understand why - and what to do next. Most platforms offer reporting out of the box. Analytics requires a more deliberate architecture, one that connects learning activity to business outcomes rather than just logging events.
Why can't my LMS show ROI to clients?
Most LMS platforms are built to track activity, not outcomes. They record that a course was completed, not what changed as a result. Connecting learning data to business results - project savings, team performance, revenue impact - requires a reporting layer that most off-the-shelf platforms don't provide.
Can I give my B2B clients their own reporting dashboards?
Yes, but it requires custom development. Most platforms treat every user the same, with no concept of team hierarchy or client-level reporting. A white-label dashboard built around your clients' data gives them visibility into their own teams - and removes you from the middle of every reporting request.
How do I connect my LMS data to Salesforce?
Out of the box, most LMS platforms and CRMs don't talk to each other. Connecting them requires an integration layer - typically built around an API or middleware - that maps learning progress to account records in Salesforce. Done well, it means your commercial team always knows which clients are engaged and which aren't.
What is xAPI and how does it improve LMS analytics?
xAPI is a data standard that tracks learning activity at a granular level - not just whether a module was completed, but which sections were viewed, for how long, and in what order. For companies that need to understand how people are actually engaging with content, xAPI gives you a much clearer picture than standard SCORM reporting.
How much does custom LMS reporting cost?
It depends on the scope - what data sources need connecting, how many dashboards are required, and how complex the client hierarchy is. Most projects start with a Blueprint: a fixed-scope engagement that maps the architecture and defines success criteria before any development begins. That scoping investment typically saves significant time and cost later.
How long does it take to build a custom LMS reporting system?
A well-scoped reporting system can move from Blueprint to production in 30 days. The variable is usually clarity - vague requirements and undefined success metrics are what push timelines out. Getting the spec right early is what keeps the build on track.
