There is a good chance that billing is considered a routine job in your company, recurring after the end of each month. The process is reactive and consists of repetitive, execution-oriented tasks.
But what if you look at it differently? In this blog, we will explain what treasures you can find, if you transform your billing into a proactive process.
The goal for billing is to have the correct invoice sent out in time. A successful billing cycle means quickness and avoiding errors and complaints. And this should be done efficiently.
Yet, many companies find themselves collecting and consolidating billing data manually at the end of each month. This consumes time and causes errors, customer complaints, and delayed payments that ultimately lead to customer dissatisfaction.
And further, many companies find that their customers are not satisfied with the information the invoice provides on, for example: What services are billed for? For what time period? Are the agreed price plans or rates used? How discounts are applied? What parts of the customer's organization have consumed these services?
These billing problems also affect the reliability of financial planning. So how about proactive and transparent billing?
A modern billing solution complements ERP. It does for the recurring services business what the ERP has done for the product sale business.
Such a modern billing solution is the system of record in two ways:
Modern billing solution is proactive and transparent. It provides the single source of truth.
Proactive billing can offer transparency into the projected cash flow:
Proactive billing may be a very efficient tool to manage cash flow and be able to close a gap in a revenue target.
A modern billing system can act as a compass for your financial decisions.
For example, recurring revenue is a good safeguard during uncertain times. During those times customers tend to drop the services they do not absolutely need. How to gain transparent data for monitoring and planning?
