How Firstup Achieves These Metrics

A Forrester Consulting study, commissioned by Firstup, evaluated the platform's impact on a hypothetical organization with 10,000 employees, $2 billion in annual revenue, and a 65% frontline workforce. The analysis showed that Firstup's AI-powered communications significantly improve employee retention, boost productivity, and enhance workplace safety, while simultaneously reducing communication complexity across the enterprise.

The net present value (NPV) of benefits over three years amounted to $7.1 million.

Key Areas of Savings and Efficiency Gains

  • Improved Frontline Employee Retention. Targeted, mobile-first communication strengthens the connection between frontline workers and the corporate office. This led to a 4% reduction in frontline attrition and $4.7 million in avoided replacement costs, accounting for 53% of total savings.
  • Employee Productivity Gains. Centralized, role-relevant messaging saved employees 69,000 hours otherwise spent searching for information, valued at $2.3 million, or 26% of total savings.
  • Reduction in Serious Safety Incidents. Rapid dissemination of critical alerts and targeted safety communications resulted in a 30% reduction in serious safety incidents by the third year, valued at $1.1 million (12% of total savings).
  • Communications Team Efficiencies. Automated audience targeting and a 'create-once, publish-everywhere' workflow saved over 12,000 hours on content creation, valued at $533,000 (6% of total savings).
  • Legacy Solution Cost Savings. Consolidating disconnected communication tools into a single Firstup platform resulted in $336,000 (4% of total savings) from retiring legacy systems.

How AI Communications Transform Frontline Engagement

Firstup's AI platform enables organizations to reach every employee with timely, relevant, and personalized communications across various channels. Centralizing communications on a single platform and leveraging AI-driven targeting enhance message effectiveness, delivering measurable results in employee retention, productivity, and safety.
