Report could be used in any industry but when it comes to functionality, it is more suitable businesses where there are not many division. I found it hard for Fathom to extract Xero tracking data and to represent it in the financials. If you would like to consolidate the financials, I also find it easy to do it via Fathom

We also used Spotlight reporting before we tried out Fathom and we found Fathom much easier to navigate and Xero integration, consolidation are very strong feature of the product. Spotlight reporting is similar to Fathom however, Fathom is more flexible, there are better visual reports and grafts and we found it easier to customize the reports templates. You can also share the reports with multiple group of people online.
