Next on the list of important topics for complex subscription billers to understand is active orchestration and automation. This, in subscription billing, refers to the use of software and technology to automate and streamline various aspects of the billing process. This can include automating the creation of invoices, tracking usage, managing customer accounts, and processing payments. It can also include integrating with other systems and platforms, such as CRM or accounting software, to provide a more seamless and efficient billing process.
Active orchestration involves the real-time management of the subscription billing process, where the system automatically adjusts the billing based on the customer’s usage and the predefined rules. For example, when the customer reaches a certain usage threshold, the system will automatically adjust the billing rate, or when the customer’s subscription is about to expire, the system will automatically generate a renewal invoice.
Automation in subscription billing also helps to reduce errors and increase efficiency by automating repetitive tasks and ensuring that data is accurate and up-to-date. It can also help to improve the customer experience by providing self-service options for managing accounts and viewing usage data. Additionally, it can help to improve the financial forecasting and budgeting through real-time data analysis.
Overall, active orchestration and automation in subscription billing can help to improve the overall efficiency and accuracy of the billing process, while also providing a better customer experience.
