Reporting

preroll.io's reporting gives you data-driven insight into your production operation. Track throughput, identify bottlenecks, and demonstrate value to clients with concrete metrics.

Available Reports

Episodes Produced Over Time

A line chart showing how many episodes you've completed (reached "Published" status) over time.

• Daily, weekly, or monthly granularity
• Trend line showing whether production volume is increasing or decreasing
• Comparison — Current period vs. previous period
• Total count for the selected time range

On-Time Delivery Rate

Percentage of episodes that were completed by their deadline:

On-Time Rate = (Episodes delivered on or before deadline / Episodes with deadlines) x 100

• Displayed as a percentage with a trend indicator
• Broken down by month to show improvement or regression
• Episodes without deadlines are excluded from this calculation
• "On time" means the episode reached "Published" or "Approved" by the deadline date

Approval Turnaround Time

How long it takes clients to review and approve deliverables:

• Average turnaround — Mean time from submission to approval
• Median turnaround — Less affected by outliers (one client sitting on a review for weeks)
• By client — See which clients are fast vs. slow to approve
• Trend — Whether turnaround is getting faster or slower

Pipeline Velocity

How quickly episodes move through your production pipeline:

• Average time spent in each stage
• Stages where episodes tend to get stuck
• Total time from creation to publication
• Comparison across shows

Breakdowns

By Show

Filter or group all reports by show to answer:

• Which show produces the most episodes?
• Which show has the best on-time rate?
• Which show takes longest to produce?
• Where should you focus efficiency improvements?

By Client

Group metrics by client to understand:

• Which clients are your highest-volume accounts?
• Which clients have the slowest approval times?
• How does production volume trend per client?

By Month

The monthly breakdown provides a calendar view of your metrics:

Date Range Selection

All reports support flexible date ranges:

Report Cards

The reporting page displays key metrics as summary cards at the top:

• Total episodes published in the selected period
• On-time rate as a percentage
• Avg. turnaround for client approvals
• Active shows that produced episodes in the period

Each card includes a comparison to the previous equivalent period (e.g., last month vs. the month before).

Charts and Visualization

Reports include interactive charts:

• Line charts — Trends over time (episodes produced, turnaround)
• Bar charts — Comparisons by show or client
• Donut charts — Distribution of episodes by stage or status
• Heatmaps — Activity density by day of week / time of day

Hover over any data point for detailed numbers.

Export

Export report data for use in client presentations, invoices, or external analysis:

Export includes the currently selected date range and filters.

Use Cases

Client Reporting

Share production metrics with clients:

• "We delivered 12 episodes this quarter, 92% on time"
• "Average turnaround from your approval request to delivery: 1.4 days"
• Useful for contract renewals and demonstrating value

Internal Optimization

Identify bottlenecks in your workflow:

• If episodes spend 5 days in "Editing" but only 1 day in "Recording," you might need more editing capacity
• If one show consistently misses deadlines, investigate why
• If turnaround times are increasing, you may be approaching capacity

Capacity Planning

Use trends to plan ahead:

• Production volume trends help predict when you'll need to hire
• Client-by-client breakdown shows where growth is coming from
• Seasonal patterns help you plan vacation and coverage

Plan Availability

Reporting is available during the 7-day Studio trial.

Tips

• Set deadlines consistently — The on-time rate is only meaningful if most episodes have deadlines
• Check monthly — Monthly review cadence gives you enough data for meaningful trends
• Share with clients — Proactive reporting builds trust and justifies your rates
• Export before meetings — Have concrete numbers ready for client check-ins
