How Rhodian Group Automated QBR Reporting Across Seven Disconnected Tools

Rhodian Group's quarterly business reviews pulled from a half-dozen unconnected systems — Autotask, Datto RMM, Microsoft 365, Customer Thermometer, DarkWebID, Tenable, and KnowBe4 — each exported and reconciled by hand. Bumblebee delivered the entire automation as a done-for-you service: we unified those sources into one automated workflow, reasoned over the data, and generated a fully redesigned report — while Rhodian's team invested only a few short sessions. The result: roughly 2 hours saved per client, per quarter.

The problem

Rhodian Group delivers quarterly business reviews across a portfolio of clients, ranging from small legacy accounts that receive a send-and-forget report to mid-market and enterprise customers who get formal, board-level presentations. Every one of those reports has to tell a coherent story — where the security program stands, what changed this quarter, and where the client should invest next.

The hard part isn't the writing. It's the data. The numbers that make a QBR meaningful are scattered across a stack of disconnected tools, none of which talk to each other:

  • Autotask — tickets, SLAs, project status, and cybersecurity alerts
  • Datto RMM — device health, patching, and endpoint posture
  • Microsoft 365 (Graph API) — MFA registration, license counts, and identity hygiene
  • Customer Thermometer — client satisfaction signals
  • DarkWebID — credential and dark-web exposure
  • Tenable — vulnerability scan results and remediation trends
  • KnowBe4 — security-awareness training and phishing-test performance

Pulling each of these by hand, normalizing the exports, and then reasoning across them — mapping the combined picture onto the security frameworks clients are measured against, deciding what's insightful versus noise — took an account manager roughly four hours per client, every quarter. That's a recurring drain spent assembling reports instead of advising clients.

On top of the manual effort, the existing template told a flat, boring story — the same ticket counts and KPIs MSPs have been shipping for over a decade — that buried the business narrative leadership actually cared about.

The solution

Rhodian's team was already stretched thin, so Bumblebee delivered this as a done-for-you professional service. Bumblebee's team did the building — designing the workflow, wiring up every integration, and handling the edge cases — while Rhodian primarily shared their desired template, set up the integrations and permissions, and reviewed the output. No disruption to an already packed schedule.

The result is a single workflow that connects to all seven sources, gathers each client's data automatically, and reconciles it into one structured picture. Instead of an account manager tab-hopping between portals, the workflow does the collection — then reasons over the combined dataset, aligning findings to the security standards Rhodian's clients are measured against.

The Autotask integration was a good example of the reasoning required: recurring vulnerability and pen-test work had to be separated from ordinary service-desk tickets. Bumblebee encoded Rhodian's own slicing rules — recognizing recurring tickets by their queue and their consistent naming convention — so the report reflects how Rhodian actually categorizes work, not a generic default.

Beyond plumbing the data, Bumblebee revamped the report itself — rebuilding the template and the entire visual look from the ground up:

  • A clear executive narrative up front — business-oriented metrics, security posture scoring, and quarter-over-quarter trends for the C-suite
  • Technical KPIs, project status, and a standardized appendix below, where directors and IT staff can dig into the detail
  • Service-catalog alignment that surfaces gaps — what the client has versus what Rhodian can provide — turning the QBR into a roadmap, not just a recap
  • Human-reviewed anecdotes — recurring issues worth raising and 'save of the month' incident stories — approved before anything reaches the client

Before

  • ×Seven portals exported and reconciled by hand
  • ×~4 hours of account-manager time per client, every quarter
  • ×Flat, generic template heavy on ticket counts
  • ×Insights assembled manually, inconsistently

After

  • One workflow pulls and unifies all seven sources
  • ~2 hours of fine-tuning and presentation prep, no assembly
  • Fully redesigned report with a real business narrative
  • Data reasoned against the standards clients are measured by

The outcome

2 hours / client / quarter

recovered across 100+ clients that warrant a full review

The biggest win wasn't any single integration — it was collapsing seven disconnected tools into one coherent report. Data that used to require an account manager to manually gather and cross-reference now arrives in a single portable report, leaving Rhodian's team to do what they're good at: reviewing the story, adding the human context, and walking clients through it.

With a revamped template that finally leads with the business narrative, Rhodian's QBRs went from a high-touch obligation to a repeatable, scalable asset — one the team can confidently send to small clients, present to mid-market accounts, and adapt for board-level reviews.

It's great, we can just review the report before it goes out — that saves us hours per client, honestly.
