Company Overview
Qpeople is a business development consultancy supporting startups and small businesses in Sweden. Mathias Wassen and his consulting team are dedicated to helping entrepreneurs with business advice, development, and innovation and help raise funds.
They offer tailored services, including business advisory, interim assignments, sales and market strategy development, and digitalization. Qpeople collaborates with various regional programs to provide free advisory hours and workshops, such as Starta Eget Stockholm and Timbanken Värmland.
Their values reflect a strong commitment to sustainable, profitable, and innovative business practices, coming from extensive cross-industry experience.
The Challenge
Supporting hundreds of small business and startup owners with business plans, development, and innovation and documenting results in a structured way required a reliable solution.
Their goal was to enable their clients to record and access the results of their collaborative efforts. They struggled to do so as no existing system on the market could offer a satisfactory, comprehensive, and affordable solution.
Mathias also mentioned how their struggle to find an ideal solution led to an exhaustive search across the internet and even the thought of developing their own digital platform.
Mathias and the consultants at Qpeople desperately needed a solution to help them manage all clients’ business plans, streamline processes, and document outcomes, and Upmetrics proved to be just the tool.

Upmetrics provided a collaborative platform and customizable tools to streamline their planning processes. The work of developing strategies and business plans became faster and easier using Upmetrics.
Upmetrics is the easiest tool; no learning curve at all
The ease of use of the platform was a factor Mathias’s team just couldn’t ignore. As they manage dozens of clients annually, they needed a tool that was simple enough to facilitate quick onboarding and simplify business plan creation, reducing the need for consistent back-and-forth interactions among consultants.
Upmetrics provided a guided business plan builder featuring customizable templates and drag-and-drop functionality, which made business plan creation quick and easier for their clients.
Qpeople has worked with many business strategy development planning tools. However, what sets Upmetrics apart for them as business consultants is the feature for designing customized business plan templates for their clients.
Talking about this feature, Mathias said, “Once we designed a business plan template for our clients. After showing Upmetrics off to my peers and signing them up, it’s safe to say that we have saved the class hundreds of hours.”
“The real-time collaboration feature was a game-changer, enabling our consultants and clients to work together seamlessly. It helped our consultants be more productive and helped us ensure all stakeholders were aligned,” quoted Mathias when asked what he liked the most about Upmetrics.
Business model templates simplify strategic planning
Mathias was one of the early users of our strategic planning feature. In fact, they approached us to add this feature. Regarding his experience using strategic planning templates, Mathias says, “Upmetrics’ strategic planning tool is powerful with various model templates.”
“We recently had a request to get in the value proposition canvas, which we communicated to Upmetrics. They replied then, of course, we will arrange it. I think it took three days to find a working template, ” Mathias added.
Upmetrics’ strategic planning tool has been critical to Qpeople’s business development and innovation practices, helping entrepreneurs allocate resources and increasing operational efficiency.
