This article describes the Evaluation Model Report that is included with Solver's SaaS model for users of the Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central ERP and Binary Stream's Subscription Billing Suite (SBS). It is part of a library of more than 150 ready-to-use reports, budget models and dashboard templates that Solver provides to SaaS companies as part of its cloud Corporate Performance Management (CPM) platform.

In the dynamic landscape of SaaS businesses, efficient decision-making and strategic planning are paramount for success. One key aspect that often hinders this process is the lack of robust self-service Company Evaluation Models. However, with the implementation of a best-in-class Corporate Performance Management (CPM) solution like Solver, SaaS executives and CFOs can elevate their business management to new heights. Let's delve into the pains faced by SaaS companies without such models and the transformative benefits that a modern SaaS Company Evaluation Model can bring.

Pains of Traditional Approaches

  • Lack of Self-Service Models: Traditional SaaS companies often grapple with a dearth of easy-to-use self-service Company Evaluation Models. This results in delayed decision-making and a higher likelihood of erroneous choices due to a lack of real-time insights.
  • Manual Excel Overload: Relying on manual Excel spreadsheets to keep managers informed about key business drivers can be overwhelming. Not only is this process time-consuming, but it also increases the risk of errors, hindering the accuracy of evaluations.
  • Inability to Answer On-Demand Queries: Without dedicated self-service models, stakeholders often struggle to get quick answers to pressing questions about the company's value. This lack of agility can impede the responsiveness needed in the fast-paced SaaS environment.

Benefits of Modern SaaS Company Evaluation Models

  • Efficiency through Automation: Implementing a SaaS Company Evaluation Model within a comprehensive CPM solution automates the process, eliminating the need for manual calculations. This not only reduces errors but also accelerates the overall evaluation process.
  • Real-Time Visibility: The model, integrated into the Solver solution, allows for real-time data access. Stakeholders can easily retrieve up-to-date information on Evaluation Multiple, Annualized Net Revenue Retention (NRR), and other crucial metrics, fostering better decision-making.
  • User-Friendly Interface: Solver's SaaS Company Evaluation Model boasts a user-friendly interface, ensuring that even non-technical stakeholders can interpret the results. The inclusion of comparative bar charts enhances the accessibility and clarity of the evaluation data.

About the SaaS Evaluation Model Report

This model is best suited for SaaS companies with ARR below $100 million. You enter the current evaluation multiple as well as Annualized Net Revenue Retention and then the report uses a number of assumptions to arrive at Low, Medium and High evaluation estimates. Like with all Solver reports, this model can be exported to Excel and modified.
