Recurring Billing with FinancialForce and Alternatives
Enterprise resource planning (ERP) is a type of business management software. It ranges from things like customer relationship management (CRM) to business intelligence (BI). Salesforce is one of the most common CRMs available and is available as a software as a service (SaaS). Force is a cloud platform-as-a-service (PaaS). It shares similar features to Salesforce and allows users to build applications with Salesforce data and APIs.
FinancialForce is built on Force and offers (as the name suggests) financial applications. These include billing, accounting, human capital management, supply chain management and much more.
It was the first company to build an enterprise app for Salesforce and is recognized as an outstanding Salesforce partner, receiving an award in 2020 from the CRM giant themselves. Recently it has been a huge player in helping businesses move to online and remote work.
One feature offered from FinancialForce is recurring billing. This form of automated repeated billing based on a timeline specified by the company is perfect for uses like subscription-based models and memberships.
Even if your company does not use this type of model, there still may be ways that recurring billing can help you out as the software is highly customizable.
