# Analytics & reporting

Solvimon gives you four ways to get billing data out of the platform: Insights to see how your business is doing, reports to download the underlying records, data exports to sync everything into your own warehouse, and the MCP server to ask questions about your data from an AI assistant. This page explains what each one is for, so you can pick the right one.

## Four ways to use your billing data

|                     | Insights                                                                              | Reports                                                                            | Data exports                                                                       | MCP server                                                                         |

| **What it is**      | Interactive dashboards with tiles, charts and tables inside Desk                      | Files you generate on demand or on a schedule                                      | A recurring sync of Solvimon tables into your own data warehouse or object storage | A connection between your AI assistant, such as Claude, and your Solvimon data     |
| **Level of detail** | Aggregated and filterable: totals, trends, breakdowns                                 | Row level: one row per invoice, invoice line, event, price or customer             | Row level, as full tables                                                          | Individual records and aggregated figures, as text, tables or charts               |
| **Best for**        | Monitoring revenue, collections, usage and growth; quick answers without leaving Desk | Month-end close, reconciliation, audits, tax returns, sharing figures with finance | Joining billing data with your product, CRM and finance data in your own BI tool   | Ad-hoc questions and follow-ups in plain language, in the AI tools you already use |
| **Freshness**       | Invoice, usage and wallet data within minutes; growth metrics hourly                  | As of the moment Solvimon generates the report                                     | Daily, or hourly by agreement                                                      | Records live; analytics refresh on a schedule                                      |
| **Where**           | Desk, under **Insights**                                                              | Desk, under **Reporting**, or the API                                              | Set up once with Solvimon, then runs automatically                                 | Your AI assistant, signed in with your Desk account                                |
| **Availability**    | Included                                                                              | Included                                                                           | Premium add-on                                                                     | Beta: test sandbox for everyone, live on request                                   |

A simple rule of thumb: use Insights to **see** a number, reports to **prove** a number, data exports to **combine** your numbers with everything else you know about your customers, and the MCP server to **ask** about them in plain language.

## Insights

Insights is the analytics area in Desk. It shows high-level overviews of revenue, invoices, usage, wallet balances, customers and growth, built from your billing data and converted to your reporting currency. Every tile is filterable, and the **Ask** page answers your own questions about the same data.

In Desk, Insights has four pages: **Overview** for the headline figures, **Details** for breakdowns of revenue, invoices, usage meters, wallets and customers, **Growth** for MRR movements and retention, and **Ask** for your own questions. See [Where to find Insights](/platform-guides/analytics-reporting/insights#where-to-find-insights).

## Reports

Reports are files with the records behind the numbers: invoice headers and lines, tax summaries, the events billed on an invoice, unmatched and duplicate events, prices and overrides, subscriptions, payments and the revenue recognition schedule. You request them in Desk or through the API, run them on a schedule, and download them as CSV, JSON Lines, Parquet or Avro.

## Data exports

Data exports replicate customers, subscriptions, invoice lines and products into Snowflake, Redshift, BigQuery, Google Cloud Storage, AWS S3 or Azure Blob Storage. Use them when you want billing data next to the rest of your data and query it with your own tooling. The Integrations section describes setup, destinations and sync modes.

## MCP server

The Solvimon MCP server lets an AI assistant read your billing data for you. Ask a question such as "which 10 customers generated the most invoiced revenue this year?" and the assistant queries Solvimon and answers, without you opening Desk or a report. It works with your Desk permissions and is read-only on live data by default.
