Flexible Billing Schedules For Large, Multi-Year Deals
For businesses handling large, multi-year deals, standard billing tools often fail to support complex needs such as varied payment timelines, milestone-based billing, or custom pricing structures. Without tools designed to manage flexible pricing schedules, companies risk overloading their billing teams with manual tasks and potential errors.
The Challenge of Non-Standard Billing Schedules
Traditional billing processes are built around predictable, recurring payments with set intervals. However, large-value deals often require flexible pricing schedules that go beyond these standard intervals. Common scenarios might include deals with annual or milestone-based payments, different rates for various phases of a project, or discounts that apply only after specific conditions are met.
Administrative Overload
Non-standard billing schedules place a heavy administrative burden on billing teams, as they must track each account's unique conditions, payment triggers, and timelines.
Error Prone
In traditional systems, managing these variations often involves spreadsheets, manual tracking, and separate processes for each custom deal — leaving significant room for delays and errors, particularly as contracts and payment schedules evolve over time.
Business Risk
When multiple large-value clients require this level of personalization, it can create bottlenecks in invoicing and payments, impacting cash flow and potentially damaging client relationships. This strain on billing teams can also have a ripple effect across the organization.
