Upptec: Dedicated Data Team for Pricing Databases
Insurance

Upptec partnered with Beetroot to build a dedicated data management team as it moved from manual to automated work. The team of data operators helped grow Upptec’s product database by 50% and its pricing database by 500%.

  • TECHNOLOGIES

    • PHP
    • Vue.js
    • HTML/CSS

  • TEAM COMPOSITION

    • Data Operators (8)

Background

Upptec was transitioning from manual to automated work and needed more hands and smarter work methods, especially compared to its competitors’ much larger teams.

Based in Malmö, the company didn’t have direct access to the right talent pool, and a previous Beetroot client referred it to us.

Project Recap

  • Upptec needed a larger data team but lacked access to the right talent locally.

  • Beetroot recruited five data operators in two rounds over five months, and the team has since grown to eight.

  • Upptec’s product database grew by 50% and its pricing database by 500%.

Challenge

As Upptec moved from manual to automated work, it needed more people and smarter methods to keep up with competitors that had much larger teams. Locally, it couldn’t access the right talent pool for recruitment.

Upptec faced several challenges:

  • Limited local access to data management talent
  • Competitors with much larger teams
  • A shift from manual to automated workflows

Solution: Dedicated Data Management and Enrichment Team

Beetroot started by hiring five people in two rounds. After screening around 20 candidates over five months, the team was up and running.

  • Efficient Recruitment

    Upptec joined the interviews, while Beetroot made sure the client didn’t invest more effort than needed.

  • English-Ready Team

    A sufficient level of English was a key criterion when building the data management and enrichment team.

  • From Independence to Growth

    The first six months focused on making the team independent, then on secondary systems and role growth.

Results

The dedicated team in Ukraine has become a strong driver of Upptec’s data growth.

  • “Outsourcing or outstaffing is frequently viewed as an imbalanced practice and the exploitation of poor countries. Beetroot tries to change this stereotype.”

  • Team of eight

    The team grew from five to eight data operators.

  • 50% larger product database

    The team helped Upptec expand its product data significantly.

  • 500% larger pricing database

    Pricing data grew fivefold with the team’s help.

  • Independent team

    The team works independently and keeps expanding its knowledge and roles.

  • “To those, who have a similar sort of business, I would for sure recommend Beetroot’s services. If you have people to invest in building this cooperation for the first 6 months, it will be worth it in the long run.”
