Why Reporting Takes Up More of Your Roadmap Than You Think (and How to Avoid It)

Why Reporting Takes Up More of Your Roadmap Than You Think (and How to Avoid It)

Developing software is an art. But one thing many teams underestimate (and ends up costing them) is building reporting functionality.

You know what I mean:

• The client starts by asking for a simple Excel export…
• Then they want filters, colors, interactive dashboards…
• Next, they request visual customization and export formats that take more time than expected…

And before you know it, half your team is designing something that isn’t core to your product—but is critical for the client.
The problem: Reporting is expensive, time-consuming, and doesn’t scale well.
Building a robust reporting system not only eats up entire sprints, but also involves:
• High costs in development and QA hours
• A detour from your product’s main roadmap
• Maintenance issues when requirements change
And worst of all: that effort rarely sets your product apart. It’s a minimum expectation.
If it’s missing, it’s a problem.
If it’s there, it’s invisible.
According to Gartner’s report “2025 Strategic Technology Trends,” one of the rising priorities is composability in software development—leveraging embedded and modular tools to accelerate value delivery without duplicating technical effort.
“Organizations that adopt composable approaches will deliver digital solutions 80% faster than their competitors.”

This is where OEM embedded reporting solutions come into play: they allow companies to deliver value fast—without compromising user experience or overloading the dev team.
What if you could offer professional dashboards without building anything from scratch?

Imagine having a visualization tool that is:

• Fully embedded as an OEM (white-labeled)
• Seamlessly integrated into your existing web app
• Preserving your platform’s native user experience

And only you know it’s there—your users just see a professional reporting system within your interface.

That’s how today’s smartest product companies operate: they accelerate time-to-market and focus on what truly sets their software apart.

Differentiate your product without hurting user experience, without installing extra software, without losing control.
Only you will know we exist.
