At a glance.
Summary
The Research Program team faced manual contract and milestone management creating operational bottlenecks, alongside limited visibility into contributor progress and performance and difficulty scaling resources for fluctuating workloads. To address these challenges, we implemented a structured operational model to streamline contract management and project workflows, specifically designed to improve efficiency, reduce administrative burden, and scale operations.
Challenges we tackled
Operational Bottleneck
Manual contract and milestone management.
Performance Blindness

How our solution helped
Partnered with the client to design a structured operational model through Lifted’s high volume workflow framework.
Automated milestone tracking, payments, and recordkeeping to remove manual administrative steps.
Enabled the internal team to focus on strategic work and long-term R&D initiatives rather than operational overhead.
The results
Operational Efficiency

The outcome
By adopting Lifted’s high volume workflow, the company streamlined its R&D operations for its language assessment program. The new system reduced administrative work, increased efficiency, and provided a scalable structure that supports future innovation within their research initiatives.
While this work was performed when these Enterprise solutions were embedded in Upwork, the same offerings and more are now available through Lifted, an Upwork Company.
