The challenge
Cupbop leadership wanted a 360-degree overview of their business - a deep dive into sales, staffing, inventory, & marketing performance. In the absence of automation, they spent upwards of 300 hours gathering & uploading information into Google Sheets—an arduous & time-consuming process for both store managers & the leadership team.
Cupbop also wanted a partner who could help them leverage data to make informed decisions & improve business performance.
“We wanted to transform - from a regular business, into a data-driven one. Where we have clarity on how the business is operating with insights & direction on how we can improve.”

The 5X solution
5X built a business-intelligence engine customized to the needs of Cupbop within a month! With easy-to-reads reports & dashboards that give their leadership a holistic view of their business.
This was powered by a data platform that ingests data from all sources, cleans it up, & presents actionable insights. 5X went the extra mile to create custom connectors for Uber Eats, Square, & DoorDash.
5X also ushered in a culture of data-driven decision-making: dedicated analysts worked closely with store-level managers to uncover insights & make informed decisions that improved store revenue, utilization, & marketing ROI.
“We love the prediction engine that 5X has built. We’re now able to forecast high-demand & slow periods helping us be better prepared across marketing, inventory & staffing areas”
