Every company is becoming a data company. Data-Powered Apps delves into how product teams are infusing insights into applications and services to build products that will delight users and stand the test of time.



Every company is working toward <a href="https://www.sisense.com/blog/how-profectus-delivers-value-from-data/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">harnessing data and analytics</a> in its own way in order to stay relevant in a changing business world. <a href="https://www.sisense.com/product/embedded-analytics/">Product teams</a> in organizations of all kinds have had to grapple with the build versus buy question when seeking to infuse analytics into their products. 



One streamlined way of delivering analytics to customers is white labeling and infusing analytics into apps.



The ability to white label and infuse reports and dashboards into products and workflows allows you to serve actionable analytics capabilities without having to build the functionality from scratch yourself. 



The ability to add best-in-class dashboards to your app but brand them as your own gives your app a new pathway to success without expending serious dev time. Adding the power of world-class analytics reports to your app, while saving time and avoiding developer costs, is a win-win.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="what">What are white-labeled reports?</h2>



White-label reports and dashboards are essentially microservices that you subscribe to from a third party and infuse into your product. The provider’s analytics platform plugs into your data source, crunches your numbers, and then generates reports and dashboard data visualizations. 



The right platform will give you total control over the widgets in your data visualizations, ideally in a user-friendly UI editor (like in <a href="https://sisense.dev/playground/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Sisense’s Embedded Playground</a>).&nbsp;



The best experience for product teams includes the ability to use your company’s logo, colors, and styles to match the reports and dashboards to your enterprise’s existing web app. 



White-label platforms like Sisense include extensive features that appeal to every level of enterprise user, both tech and nontech, front end and back end, business facing and customer facing. You have total control over the outcome.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="hood">White-label reports: Under the hood</h2>



To implement your dashboards via a white-label platform, you’ll build pages that perfectly mirror your company’s branding, look, and feel. Logos, colors, fonts, and more — everything that captures your existing styles and preferences — can all be customized to match your app’s look and feel.



Other features you’ll need for a strong white-labeling experience include:



<ul><li>Centralized config for selecting brand <a href="https://www.sisense.com/blog/five-design-tips-to-deliver-a-seamless-embedded-analytics-experience/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">logos, colors, and text style</a></li><li>Easy UI for creating and editing your reports</li><li>Flexible interface for designing dashboards and widgets</li><li>Report generation in a variety of formats such as HTML and PDF</li><li>Full rebranded user interfaces, including dashboards and email reports</li></ul>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="explore">Exploring white-label dashboards</h2>



As you might imagine, white-label dashboards are UIs designed to facilitate user interaction with the analytics outcomes generated from data, also distributed via the white-labeled reports. 



The dashboard will contain all the controls, settings, and preferences users need to extract and present the insights from data. Beneath the surface, advanced features like Sisense <a href="https://www.sisense.com/blog/must-have-artificial-intelligence-features-for-your-app/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">AI and machine learning</a> (ML) functions can enhance the analysis even further, transforming it into impactful insights in seconds with point and click, self-service capabilities. 



Beyond simply adding white-label reports to your product or service, these powerful features can help take your use of data to the next level — an important consideration when selecting a platform to help you infuse analytics into your offering.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full fancybox"><img decoding="async" src="https://cdn.sisense.com/wp-content/uploads/2020-12-23_13h20_00.png" alt="Article layout" class="wp-image-112238"/></figure>



When you’re ready to add analytics via white-label reports, begin by sketching out how you want your reports to look visually. Next, compare your desired outcome with your platform’s capabilities. Platforms like Sisense usually boast a vast array of models and suggestions.&nbsp;



Now that you know what you want everything to look like, define and connect your data sources. Once the data is flowing to your reports, you can tweak your presentations until they look and operate exactly how you want.

Nasdaq requires the industry’s highest level of data security standards, and states that Sisense meets all of its compliance standards.

Sisense is so flexible that the displays in question can appear as a Nasdaq-branded product or under the guise of a Nasdaq customer’s app, as required by the client. The white-label product is ideal in use cases where proprietary data-use standards must be tightly controlled and firewalled within designated user groups.



The business intelligence needs of Tessitura included providing its clients with a reporting and dashboard platform that would be innovative and constantly evolving.
