Case Study: 1build achieves a 92% reduction in forecasting and analysis time with Mosaic

How 1build Cut Forecasting and Analysis Time by 92% and Started Growing with Confidence

1build, a SaaS marketplace that provides real-time cost estimating for construction teams, was struggling with slow, unscalable financial modeling during its Seed and Series A stages. Relying on fractional CFO services meant two-week turnarounds and models that weren’t embedded in the business, so non-finance leaders needed a tool that could incorporate operational data, support complex scenario modeling, and be used by the Head of Business Operations, Head of Ops, and CEO. 1build selected Mosaic’s strategic finance platform and Mosaic forecast models to give stakeholders quick, accessible financial visibility.

Mosaic enabled real-time forecasting and scenario analysis (for example, modeling monthly vs. annual billing on live calls), backed by hands-on support from Mosaic’s customer success team. The result: a 92% reduction in time spent building and updating models, the ability to answer ad hoc financial questions in under one day, and continued growth without a full-time finance hire (saving a six-figure salary). Mosaic’s platform has given 1build faster, more confident decision-making and scalable forecasting as the company grows.
