Typeform’s Journey to Efficient Growth through Subscription Transformation

Typeform, helmed by CEO Joaquim Lechà, sits at the forefront of customer interaction and data collection—empowering over 150,000 businesses with innovative forms, surveys, and quizzes. Its dedication to understanding and augmenting customer experience parallels a commitment to seamless operations—critical factors defining its B2B & B2C subscription model's success.

A strategic pivot toward efficiency

Typeform’s visionary change in strategy was to shift from focusing primarily on customer acquisition to maximizing the value provided to customers, evidenced by the number of submissions their tools generated. Initially battling siloed teams and fragmented tools, Typeform seamlessly unified its teams, tools, and processes, optimizing for a "global maximum" rather than several "local maximums." This cohesion, complemented by Chargebee’s versatile subscription management and revenue growth platform, has facilitated an environment where various departments, such as marketing and sales, collaborate towards a common goal.

The power of partnership 

Typeform’s recipe for efficient growth mixes an intense focus on high-value customers with continuous scaling through strategic partnerships. Chargebee proved to be not just a tool but a copilot in Typeform's epic growth story by catering to mid-market and enterprise customers’ nuanced needs—ranging from regional invoicing to diversified payment options, thereby enhancing conversion rates and nurturing more profound customer flexibility and growth.

By deploying Chargebee’s high-capability subscription and revenue growth platform, Typeform consolidated its vendor count, significantly reducing system complexity and cost—potential savings estimated at around $1.2 million annually. Lechà explains, "Working with Chargebee has given us significant advantages, particularly due to its extensive feature set and high capabilities. In the past, we relied on multiple vendors to fulfill various functions."

We've streamlined our processes thanks to Chargebee's richness and versatility, reducing our vendor count from 10 to around five. Additionally, improved integrations and automation have simplified tasks, eliminating the need for intermediary software. This allows seamless communication between our systems and Chargebee without the necessity for additional vendors.

Lechà remarked, "The world has changed. We have to do more with less; therefore, efficient growth is at the top of the CEO's agenda. We think about it at Typeform in two ways—one, more focus. More focus is placed on customers who get the most value from our tool. The second is continuous scaling with partners that empower us to achieve more."

Automation and resource utilization

The automation capabilities inherent in Chargebee's integrations have allowed Typeform to redirect human labor from mundane tasks to more value-add activities, fostering creativity and furthering their competitive edge. Lechà says, "Through collaboration and partnership, we've unlocked many benefits, including new options, facilities, and capabilities for our customers. By working closely with Chargebee, we've also discovered innovative ways to automate workflows, enabling continued growth without additional investment."

The integration benefits extend beyond finance, providing comprehensive data integration within Typeform's tech stack—including heavy hitters like NetSuite and Salesforce. The unified data environment encourages informed decision-making and provides a foundation for shared objectives across Typeform.

Looking ahead

Focusing on the horizon, Typeform continues to ideate on enriching customer interaction, revolutionizing how businesses collect data and engage with audiences.

They're a testament to what modern subscription businesses can achieve when armed with the proper insights, strategies, and technological partnerships. With Chargebee by its side, Typeform's future looks more than just promising—it foresees an era of unparalleled customer engagement and growth.
