ERPs fall short

Revenue recognition is not a core competency for most ERP applications—even the big ones. And they sure don’t know what to do with multiple revenue permutations.

Manual methods stifle innovation

Introducing a new product adds new complexities for revenue recognition, especially when you want to try something innovative, like bundling an offering or including discounts and coupons.

Spreadsheets don’t scale

Spreadsheets might be OK with one product and a simple revenue model—but when you grow they can’t support an automated, configurable five-step process.

Recurly’s automated and scalable billing workflows help increase efficiencies in our finance processes. Our finance and accounting teams now have access to clean data with clear audit trails for accurate and efficient reporting.

Frequently asked questions

What is subscription revenue management?

Subscription revenue management refers to your organization’s ability to accurately recognize, report and forecast recurring revenue from customer contracts.

Does Recurly provide revenue management?

Many subscription businesses process a significant number of transactions on different days each month. They may have diverse billing models that combine ongoing, usage based, and one-time billing. This results in a complicated revenue recognition process that is onerous, tedious, and error prone.

Isn’t revenue management handled by our ERP or accounting software?

Most ERP and accounting applications are not equipped to handle the complexities of a recurring revenue model. Recurly handles the complex calculations and creates a .csv file with a deferred revenue waterfall report that can be imported directly into your accounting application.

What are some benefits of revenue management software?

Using a revenue management software solution benefits your subscription business by automating and streamlining your revenue accounting processes, reducing the risk of reporting errors and audit costs. You will accelerate your period close and gain visibility and forecasting insights into your subscription revenue.
