How CareerPlug Saved 25 Days of Work with Chargify Business Intelligence
AUSTIN — Chargify, the leading billing platform for B2B SaaS, announced today the massive productivity improvements and decrease in operating costs that CareerPlug has achieved using its new Chargify Business Intelligence product. The Austin-based recruiting and HR software company saves up to six hours a week, or 25 days a year, by using the new product.
“Chargify’s new BI tool has taken our speed-to-calculate and accuracy of MRR and financial metrics and reduced it down to a mere dashboard refresh with 100% accuracy,” said Jenny Leman, President of CareerPlug. “This saves our operations and finance teams hours of manual work each week. CareerPlug is just barely scraping the surface of what this tool is capable of, but I am a raving fan already!”
CareerPlug was one of the first companies to adopt the new product from Chargify to better manage its billing data and overall business financials. Its leadership team leverages weekly data to monitor and drive growth for CareerPlug, however, its operations and finance teams were previously spending between four and six hours every week re-creating the same report to monitor the organization’s most critical business metrics. Significant amounts of time were spent in multiple spreadsheets doing vlookups, filtering, and segmenting data. Chargify Business Intelligence took this four to six hour weekly project and turned it into a 10-second refresh.
“Ease of extraction and accuracy of the data are the two most important aspects of Business Intelligence for CareerPlug,” continued Leeman. “Imagine going from a CSV export with 180k rows that have to be filtered and manipulated to a simple click of a button and 10-second refresh.That’s what Chargify Business Intelligence was able to do for us.”
Chargify’s latest development empowers B2B SaaS companies with an accurate, 360-view of their business so they can make data-informed strategic decisions. The self-service Chargify Business Intelligence analytics suite enables users to create custom dashboards with real-time billing and revenue management data. The tool starts users with out-of-the-box reports and dashboards, but then provides the ability to clone and customize these out-of-the-box metrics, as well as build custom metrics from any available data. For the first time in the billing and subscription space, users can even stream-in data from across their business stack, such as Salesforce or Stripe, for cross analysis with their billing data, eliminating the need for clunky, manual processes.
“Every billing system on the market actually prescribes how their customers should view and analyze their data, locking their customers into a data box they can only get out with spreadsheets and time. After listening to the needs of our customers, we realized this was a serious gap in the market,” said Paul Lynch, CEO of Chargify. “Chargify Business Intelligence fills this gap and empowers SaaS companies, like CareerPlug, to analyze the specific data they know will be most beneficial to grow their unique business. This positively impacts each and every one of our customers by allowing them to clearly understand where they’re winning and losing.”
CareerPlug and Chargify first partnered together in 2018 after CareerPlug recognized it had a significant business problem that fellow Texas-based Chargify could solve. CareerPlug had previously tried to build and manage its own billing system within their own database, but it lacked visibility, accuracy, reporting, and everything its operational leadership team needed. Chargify was able to solve these pain points for CareerPlug with its specialized billing and data management tools built specifically for B2B SaaS companies utilizing a subscription-based business model.
