Automated revenue distribution

New challenges and solution

Recognizing revenue in a subscription business model introduces new challenges:

1

Your revenues are constantly changing with subscription lifecycle events

Customer upgrades, downgrades, and amendments affect subscription revenue schedules, and your business needs to maintain a real-time and up-to-date snapshot of revenues.

2

Your revenue recognition is complex

Your subscription pricing models result in complex revenue recognition processes which, without automation, lead to countless hours of manual processes and audit risk.
