Cloud 9 Eliminates QuickBooks and Implements Z-Billing with Ease

 cloud9

Our SaaS business has unique billing requirements—we invoice customers monthly, quarterly, and annually, we accept credit cards, and one day we’d like to automatically provision our on-demand analytics service. With these requirements, and new customers signing up daily, QuickBooks just wasn’t going to cut it. Z-Billing was the only solution that could support and scale with our subscription business—and the implementation was a cinch. 

Company Background

Cloud9 Analytics delivers easy-to-use business intelligence applications directly to sales, marketing, and support organizations as a service over the Internet. The Cloud9 Pipeline Management Suite reduces revenue risk, increases team productivity and provides shared visibility for collaboration at every level of the sales organization. This on-demand business intelligence application delivers complete pipeline visibility to sales teams, anytime and anywhere - including critical real-time information on "what's changed."
Business Challenge
  • Current billing system falls short in subscription-based business requirements: monthly, quarterly, and annual billing, credit card transactions, automatic provisioning of services
  • Labor-intensive billing process won’t scale with the growing customer base
Solution
  • Selected Z-Billing because it supports the billing requirements of their subscription business, including monthly, quarterly, and annual invoicing via email, credit card processing, and automatic provisioning of services
  • Z-Billing automates billing and replaces QuickBooks, which requires a labor-intensive process of printing and mailing invoices each term
  • Z-Billing will scale with Cloud 9’s expanding customer base and generate key reports for better insight into the business
Results
  • A painless Z-Billing implementation saved Cloud 9 the cost of purchasing and installing an expensive accounting software suite, resulting in a higher, quicker ROI
  • Z-Billing generates key reports that provide better insight for making business decisions
  • Z-Billing saves precious time and resources by replacing an expensive, manual billing process with an automated, scalable solution
