Decisely + Subscript

Brad White, Chief Strategy and Financial Officer at Decisely, had a complicated series of data sets on his hands.

As a benefits solution provider, Decisely doesn’t just earn revenue from traditional SaaS subscriptions. They also generate revenue from health insurance commissions, which differ based on the rates and premiums of their policies.

“It's 500,000 different lines if you really break it down, all of which have different commission rates and premiums. And if you start doing the math on that, it gets very complex very quickly, “ says Brad.

Before Subscript, Decisely used Excel to calculate their metrics. At the end of each month, it took the finance team several days of analyzing the numbers just to calculate the company’s ARR for the month. By the time the reports were in, it was already time to start the next month’s numbers.

Plus, because the data was coming in from multiple sources and required a lot of manual calculation, it was prone to error. At one point, the team caught an error in one of their formulas that forced them to go back and rework the metrics from the past few months. This left the team—and the board—with low confidence in the accuracy of their metrics.

That’s when Brad started looking for a solution.

When Brad discovered Subscript, he was thrilled at the idea of replacing their spreadsheets with a purpose-built solution for delivering B2B SaaS metrics. But, he thought it seemed too good to be true. Could it really handle Decisely’s complex data?

After digging in, Brad was wowed by Subscript’s ability to connect to a wide variety of data sources and automatically generate accurate, dependable SaaS metrics. Now Brad and his team have the confidence to share insights and communicate about the metrics with stakeholders.

With Subscript, reporting that used to take days of work from Brad’s team can now be done instantly. They can also double-click into the metrics in a way that would have been impossible before.

In a challenging economy, ROI was top of mind for Brad, and Subscript delivered the results he was looking for.

Decisely’s investment in Subscript has paid off by freeing up significant amounts of time for the team to focus on accelerating cash flow and other projects that move the needle for the business, rather than manually performing and double-checking their calculations.

In addition to improved efficiency, having access to business-critical metrics in real-time allows Decisely to make faster and better-informed strategic decisions. Plus, they have high confidence in their data accuracy, so it’s easier to share results with the board and commit to business decisions.
