Management attributed improved retention (NDR increased to 105%) to a successful multi-product strategy, with a 50% increase in merchants using more than one product.
Internal AI adoption acted as a force multiplier for engineering, doubling ticket completion rates and allowing for faster deployment of merchant-specific features.
Strategic focus has shifted toward prioritizing gross profit dollar growth over top-line revenue to better reflect the value of high-margin non-guarantee products.
