Case Study: Remitly achieves value velocity and early risk detection with Uplevel

Remitly saves hours on R&D cost capitalization with Uplevel

Remitly, a global money movement platform, faced a challenge in scaling its engineering operations across multiple countries. Their traditional OKR tracking methods failed to provide a reliable signal connecting daily engineering work to business outcomes, causing them to discover problems too late. To address this, Remitly partnered with Uplevel to gain better visibility into initiative progress and predict delivery risks.

Uplevel implemented a solution that automatically links engineering activity like Jira issues and pull requests to specific objectives, providing leaders with a data-driven view of progress. This enabled Remitly to spot issues earlier and have more grounded conversations with teams. A significant measurable impact was the automation of their quarterly R&D cost capitalization reporting, which alone paid for the Uplevel service by saving hours of manual work. The partnership with Uplevel is now focused on building a foundation for measuring "value velocity" to ensure reliable customer value delivery.
