Case Study: Base achieves scalable freelance workforce management with Contra

Transitioning from survival to stability in startup growth

Base, an IRL social network, was struggling with the complex process of hiring and managing its large part-time workforce. The company was using multiple different platforms for sourcing, contracting, and paying its many freelancers, which created significant operational headaches. They needed a streamlined solution to manage this flexible team as they scaled their operations.

By implementing Contra for freelancer management, Base consolidated its hiring, payments, and contractor oversight into a single platform. This solution provided crucial spend insights and simplified their entire process. Using Contra saved Base over $100k and allowed them to efficiently manage 44+ projects completed by 36 independent contractors, enabling them to scale into new cities.
