Need:
A cost-efficient, long-term analytics partner to support reporting without adding full-time headcount
The Challenge
Uprise was looking to optimize their business intelligence strategy. Their existing setup was more expensive than it needed to be, and hiring a full-time data person didn’t make sense at their stage, given their focus on efficiency and need to allocate resources strategically.
They needed a partner who could:
- Deliver high-quality reporting
- Understand their business goals
- Operate independently with minimal onboarding
- Stay reliable over time — without the high price tag
Why HelpWithMetrics
HelpWithMetrics offered a flexible, cost-effective alternative to full-time hiring — while going beyond execution to think through why certain metrics mattered for the business.
“Your clarity and thoughtfulness stand out. You communicate promptly and set clear expectations, but you also actively think through the business context - not just “what” to deliver but “why” it matters - which has been rare in my past experiences.” Chris Goodmacher, Co-Founder, Uprise
What HelpWithMetrics Did
- Worked across key SaaS metrics including churn, ARR, retention, and revenue growth
