JARS Digital now saves over 10 hours each month on reporting, giving the team more time to focus on driving client results with Databox.
Jason Spooner is the founder and president of JARS Digital, a consultancy that helps B2B SaaS and technology companies grow revenue and drive pipeline. His team specializes in performance marketing and strategy, providing hands-on support to clients through every stage of their digital campaigns.
Before Databox, JARS Digital faced two core challenges: fragmented data and inefficient reporting. The team worked across multiple platforms to manage ad campaigns and marketing efforts, but pulling all that data together was a manual and frustrating process.
“We spent so much time doing reports that sometimes we had to turn down additional work because we knew the reporting would be too intense,” Jason said.
The inefficiency didn’t just cost time; it cost opportunities. Jason described being annoyed by the hours lost to weekly PowerPoint reports that were outdated almost as soon as they were done. Clients wanted real-time insights, but the tools and workflows in place couldn’t deliver.
Jason began searching for a better reporting tool after realizing that HubSpot’s built-in reporting features weren’t cutting it. He Googled alternatives, found Databox, and was immediately impressed.
“I found you guys through Google, signed up for a free account, and then it just grew from there,” Jason said. “We now have 10+ clients on the platform.”
What sealed the deal? Price and integrations. “All the platforms we were using were supported, and the price wasn’t insane like it is with some other platforms,” he said.
From the start, implementation was seamless. Every time JARS Digital launches a new client or internal project, creating a Databox dashboard is now part of the onboarding process.
“It was way better than HubSpot,” Jason said. “These charts look great. A line graph? Amazing. Let’s go.”
There were some initial learning curves, especially with tools like Moz and formatting Google Sheets correctly, but support resources and videos made it easy to overcome them. Jason also appreciated the strong onboarding and advanced training Databox offered.
Since adopting Databox, JARS Digital has seen significant improvements:
“It’s been a big help,” Jason said. “There’s been instances where LinkedIn doesn’t show certain companies, but we pull them in through Databox and can say objectively, yes, our ad is reaching them.”
“If you’re spending more than a couple of hours a month on reporting, it’s time to find a tool,” Jason advises. “And if you’re jumping into five or six platforms every day, build an internal dashboard with Databox. It’ll save you time and make your reporting look great.”
