Martech Startup — ClickUp CRM + Automations (partners of Uber Eats, L’Oréal, Netflix)
Manual drag from fragmented data
Initial customer response times stretched from hours to sometimes a full business day, leaving high-intent leads waiting and often moving on to competitors.
Slowed Product Deployment
The founders lacked a real-time, unified view of their sales pipeline, making it impossible to predict revenue accurately or identify where leads were getting stuck.
The Solution: Instant, Organized Lead-to-CRM Flow
This high-growth Martech startup—whose clientele includes industry giants like Uber Eats, L’Oréal, and Netflix—was facing a significant internal challenge that threatened to slow its innovation. As its sales and community teams grew, the process of onboarding new clients, routing internal data, and generating reports became a tangled mess.
The core problem was data fragmentation. Information lived in multiple siloed tools, forcing team members to spend up to 20 hours per week on tedious, error-prone tasks like:
Copy-pasting lead details from the intake form into the sales tracker.
Manually moving client data between project management and billing systems.
Compiling weekly performance reports by hand.
This administrative drag meant the team was focused on data entry instead of shipping high-value client work.
The Results: Productivity Multiplied
The new ClickUp CRM and automation system delivered dramatic, measurable returns, optimizing both time and output:
Time Reclaimed
The immediate elimination of manual data movement saved the team approximately ~20 hours every single week, freeing up staff to focus entirely on customer and product deployment.
Administrative Efficiency
We achieved a ~50% reduction in manual updates required for reporting and client management tasks, drastically improving data accuracy.
Increased Output
By clearing the internal bottlenecks and streamlining the workflow, the team’s overall productivity jumped significantly, resulting in 1.3 times more tasks shipped per week.
This operational overhaul established a stable, automated foundation, allowing the Martech startup to maintain its aggressive growth trajectory while serving its blue-chip client list with increased speed and efficiency.
