" We're an accounts payable automation company. Software engineering intelligence isn't our core competency. And as a leadership team, we came to the realization that our reporting strategy just wasn't viable for the long term. "

The Challenge
Fragmented Data
When your platform processes payments for 8,500 businesses and 1.35 million suppliers globally, engineering performance isn't an internal metric. It's a business-critical one. Every delay in shipping affects real finance teams running real money through your system. The pressure to move fast, and move reliably, is constant.

So when Jack Notarangelo, Sr. Director of Engineering at AvidXchange, looked at how his team was tracking performance, what he found was hard to defend. Engineering data was scattered across five separate systems: code repositories, work management tools, ticketing platforms, code quality software, and HR systems. Getting any coherent picture of how the team was performing meant pulling all of it together by hand.

It wasn't just slow. It was unsustainable. The leadership team had arrived at a conclusion. "We're an accounts payable automation company. We are not a software engineering intelligence company. It's not our core competency. And as a leadership team, we came to the realization that our reporting strategy just wasn't viable for the long term," Notarangelo said.

For a company operating at AvidXchange's scale, the gap between what the data could tell them and what they could actually see was costing them more than time. It was costing them clarity. And without clarity, making good engineering decisions is mostly guesswork.
"Hivel is now helping us measure how much code is written by AI vs manually. That visibility will be incredibly valuable as we continue assessing AI's real impact."
The Solution
Visibility Unlocked
The fix wasn't a new engineering process. It wasn't a reorganization. It wasn't hiring more people. It was solving the data problem first.

AvidXchange partnered with Hivel to bring all of their engineering signals into one place. Data from five disconnected tools now flowed into a single dashboard, updated automatically, readable at a glance, and structured for the kinds of conversations that actually move things forward. For the first time, the team had a complete picture of engineering performance without anyone having to build it manually.

But unified data alone wasn't the turning point. What AvidXchange did next was just as important. They chose one metric to own: Cycle Time. Not because it was the only thing worth measuring, but because it was concrete, directly influenced by every engineer on the team, and easy to rally around. They built a weekly review cadence on top of it. Every week, the same metric, the same conversation, the same shared view of where work was moving and where it was stuck.

That consistency turned data into a habit. And a habit, at AvidXchange's scale, became a culture shift.
"We made Cycle Time our north star. Having one metric the whole team rallied around changed the conversation every single week."
Result
Faster Delivery
Within six months, AvidXchange accelerated Time-to-Market by 56%.

That number didn't come from shipping shortcuts. It came from a team that could finally see its own performance clearly, have conversations about where work was slowing down, and fix the right things. Decisions that once required someone to manually compile data from five tools now happened in a single weekly conversation, anchored to a single dashboard, with everyone looking at the same numbers.

With 8,500 business customers depending on their platform, the impact goes beyond internal velocity. Features reach customers faster. Fixes land sooner. And the engineering organization powering one of the world’s largest accounts payable automation solutions, now operates with a level of visibility it simply didn't have before.

The result wasn't just clarity. It was momentum.

What's Next for AvidXchange

AvidXchange isn't done. With the foundational data problem solved, the team is now using Hivel to take on a harder question: what is AI actually doing to the way their engineers work? By correlating AI adoption with Speed and Quality, they're building a measurable, data-centric picture of AI impact that goes beyond instinct and assumption.

"Hivel is now helping us measure how much code is written by AI vs manually," Notarangelo said. "That visibility will be incredibly valuable as we continue assessing AI's real impact."
