In consulting, every hour counts. Delayed intelligence can slow client recommendations, reduce project efficiency, and squeeze margins. For many firms, analysts spend more time gathering data than generating insights—a costly bottleneck.
This case study demonstrates how a forward-thinking consulting firm partnered with Grepsr to transform competitive intelligence workflows:
- Deliver market and competitor insights 5X faster
- Reduce manual research and data consolidation
- Improve project margins while maintaining high-quality client deliverables
- Free analysts to focus on strategy, not repetitive data collection
With Grepsr, the firm turned competitive intelligence into a strategic advantage, accelerating projects, boosting margins, and improving client satisfaction.
The Challenge: Slow Research and Tight Margins
The consulting firm faced several critical pain points:
- Analysts spent hours manually collecting competitor data across multiple industries
- Inconsistent and unstructured data reduced confidence in recommendations
- Research delays slowed project delivery and impacted client satisfaction
- High labor costs limited profitability and scalability
“Our teams were trapped in data collection, leaving little time for analysis or strategy,” said the Head of Research.
“We needed a solution that could deliver intelligence quickly, reliably, and at scale,” added the Director of Client Services.
The firm needed a scalable, automated approach to gather, validate, and structure competitive intelligence across multiple client projects.
Why Traditional Approaches Were Holding Back Growth
Manual research, spreadsheets, and ad-hoc scraping tools created ongoing challenges:
- Slow turnaround, limiting the number of projects completed
- Inconsistent and fragmented data reducing trust in client recommendations
- High labor cost cutting into project margins
- Difficulty scaling research across multiple clients or industries
“It was clear that relying on manual methods was constraining both speed and profitability,” said the COO.
