Supporting business complexity

Business complexity grows as the size, scale, geographic reach, and diversity of markets you serve increases, and the demands of B2B, B2C, and B2B2x businesses are blending. Ability to handle the permutations with easily updatable building blocks is key.

Managing diverse subscriber relationships

Your subscriber relationships can be complicated, involving multiple departments, divisions, locations, and payment methods. Customers demand account relationships and payment relationships in complex ways like parent-pay, child-pay, sponsored, pooled usage, or touching large numbers of devices/fleets of vehicles where consumption and payment are not the same.

Adding new services

Customers (and competition) challenge you to rapidly introduce new services. Eliminate the “billing bottleneck” with unlimited monetization models, including more than just “subscriptions”, especially consumption/usage billing through simple configuration adjustments.

Sophisticated product catalog

Sophisticated and open product catalog allows you to easily offer and bill for both subscription and non-subscription offers in an open product catalog, while enforcing sophisticated rules for allowability, exclusions, pre-requisites, grouping, bundles, hierarchy, and more.

Dunning and collections

Dunning and Collections: Manage fully customizable schedules for sending customized notices, apply late fees, limiting services/pausing access. Do so for different cohorts such as payment method (Credit Card; ACH; Contractual Terms with Checking lock-box), by products deployed, or by geography served.

Orchestrating your business

Your recurring revenue billing doesn’t happen in a vacuum. It touches many parts of your business and many existing systems.
