Embedded analytics refers to integrating data visualization, reporting and analysis capabilities directly into the user interface of a business application or workflow.

Instead of exporting data into a separate business intelligence (BI) system, the insights live inside the product, often contextualized by the user’s current task.

Traditional BI tools centralize data and require users to switch context, build dashboards and run queries manually.

Embedded analytics, by contrast, surfaces relevant metrics and trends at the moment of decision, making analytics more accessible and actionable.

According to the BARC BI study, only about a quarter of employees actively use standalone BI tools, but adoption is increasing when analytics are embedded in operational systems.

By meeting users where they already work, embedded analytics reduces friction, increases usage and can differentiate a SaaS product.
