Part of the Analytify BI Glossary, clear definitions of the business intelligence, analytics, and modern data stack terms that matter.
White-label BI is a business intelligence tool that can be fully rebranded with your own logo, colours, domain, and product name so end users experience the analytics features as a native part of your software product, not as a third-party tool.
For SaaS vendors shipping analytics features to their customers, white-label BI is the difference between “we use a third-party analytics tool” and “we have built-in analytics.” Customers strongly prefer the latter; they bought your product, not a Tableau or Sisense embed.
White-label BI is closely related to embedded analytics, but specifically refers to the visual rebrand depth. Where basic embedded analytics might leave the BI vendor’s logo visible in dashboards, true white-label removes all third-party branding.
The depth of white-label rebrand varies dramatically across BI vendors. The 2026 white-label BI bar includes:
analytics.yourcompany.com, not yourcompany.somemetabaseembed.com.[email protected], not the BI tool’s domain.Most BI tools deliver items 1 and 2 as a standard feature. Items 3 and 4 are usually only available in higher tiers. Item 5 is the dealbreaker for SaaS-of-SaaS plays — only a handful of vendors support it.
A SaaS HR platform embeds white-label BI: dashboards live at analytics.hr-platform.com via CNAME, the logo is the HR platform’s logo, scheduled reports come from [email protected], the colour scheme matches the host product, and each HR customer (a tenant) can further sub-brand the dashboards for their own employees. End users never see the BI vendor’s name anywhere.

Embedded analytics describes where the dashboards live (inside another product). White-label BI describes how deeply they are rebranded as your product. Most modern white-label BI tools support embedding by default.
Modern embedded analytics platforms (Analytify, Sisense, GoodData, Logi) support deep white-label including CNAME, sub-tenant branding, and email sender. Older general-purpose BI tools (Tableau, Power BI) usually leave their logo visible even in embed mode.
In closed-source BI, white-label is often gated to higher tiers — adding 30-50% on top of base pricing. Open-source white-label BI platforms like Analytify include it without the upcharge.
Sub-branding lets each of your tenants further white-label the dashboards for their own end users. Critical for B2B2C SaaS, multi-brand platforms, and agency tools where YOUR customer needs to brand the experience for THEIR customers.
Set a DNS CNAME record pointing analytics.yourcompany.com to the BI vendor’s subdomain. Most vendors then handle TLS certificates automatically. Verify the BI vendor supports CNAME (not all do).
Yes. Customer feedback consistently shows that even subtle “Powered by Tableau” footer text or BI-vendor email addresses on scheduled reports erode the perception that analytics are a native product feature. Full white-label is the bar enterprise SaaS customers expect.
