Define outcomes and success metrics

Tie the project to measurable business outcomes. 

  • Faster quote to cash 
  • Fewer disputes and credits 
  • Reduced revenue leakage 
  • Time to launch new offers 
  • Partner settlement accuracy 

Instrument these outcomes with baseline values and target improvements. BluLogix includes exports and a data mart to track these KPIs from day one. 

Govern the catalog before you migrate data

Most billing pain is catalog pain in disguise. 

  • One versioned catalog for subscriptions, one-time fees, usage tiers, drawdowns, and promotions 
  • Effective dating for every price and rule 
  • Migration paths for upgrades, downgrades, and plan merges without inventing one-off SKUs 

BluLogix provides rule-driven pricing and effective dating so teams can evolve offers through configuration while finance maintains control. 

Build a robust usage pipeline

Hybrid pricing requires a reliable path from raw events to invoice lines. 

  • Ingestion. APIs, SFTP, and streaming to capture device, application, or partner data 
  • Mediation. Validation, enrichment, and transformation with idempotent keys 
  • Rating. Tiering, minimums, floors and ceilings, commit-to-consume, and back-rating for late files 
  • Reconciliation. Cross-checks to vendor invoices and partner usage summaries 

BluLogix’s Advanced Data Staging and Mediation normalizes messy inputs, supports replay without manual edits, and produces a full audit trail, which lowers dispute rates and speeds cash. 

Support channels and partners as a first-class requirement

If you rely on distributors, MSPs, or marketplaces, channel operations cannot be an afterthought. 

  • Multi-tier hierarchies with partner margins and discounts 
  • Dual invoicing and bill-on-behalf configurations 
  • Settlement reports and shared portals 

BluLogix was engineered for partner complexity, enabling margin management and white-label invoicing without custom projects. 

Orchestrate finance and compliance 

Finance must trust every number. 

  • Multi-entity, multi-currency, and tax engine integration 
  • Revenue recognition aligned to policy 
  • Role-based workflows and separation of duties 
  • Audit-ready journals with complete lineage 

BluLogix integrates with major ERPs and tax providers and enforces controls that pass audit while keeping teams efficient. 

Run a controlled cutover 

Adopt a two-run minimum before switching payments. 

  • Phase 1: Configure your five priority scenarios in BluLogix using your data 
  • Phase 2: Integrate tax, payments, and ERP in sandbox 
  • Phase 3: Parallel bill for two full cycles, resolve variances, finalize policies 
  • Phase 4: Cut over cohorts in waves, starting with greenfield customers 

BluLogix supports shadow billing and variance analysis so your team can prove accuracy before go-live. 

Why customers choose BluLogix for hybrid pricing 

  • Configuration over custom code, which lowers long-term cost and risk 
  • Advanced mediation and rating, which reduces disputes and accelerates time to revenue 
  • Native channel operations, which simplifies partner billing and settlements 
  • Finance-grade controls and ERP integrations, which build trust and scale
