Subscription Client Case Study:

Integrating Existing Data

Client Challenge

Our client, a European-based cloud hosting company, needs to be able to quickly and easily validate that each customer has an account before allowing them to make a purchase. They also need all customer information to be kept current in their Salesforce account without having to invest considerable time and resources into manual updates.

    Set your own pricing parameters or leverage our built-in GeoIP detection technology to display prices that resonate with customers in each region.

  • Optimized Customer Experience

    With our extensive portfolio of languages, currencies and payment methods, we ensure a fully optimized customer experience proven to increase conversions.

  • Reporting & Analytics

    Through A/B testing, advanced segmentation and extensive reporting capabilities, you get access to the most up-to-date insights – like churn rate, trial conversion rate and customer lifetime value.

  • Centralized Customer Database

    We provide you with real-time visibility into all aspects of your subscription business by consolidating customer data from your CRM, ERP, email platform and other business systems.

  • Customer Self-Service

    Using "My Account" functionality, your customers can upgrade or downgrade, change their billing information, update their personal data and more. You can also drive more revenue by displaying targeted banner ads to your customers on their account page.

  • Interactive Analytics

    Our in-depth analytics don't just inform your subscription billing strategy – they take action. Automatically issue notifications for subscription events like:
    • Sign-up welcome
    • Trial expiration
    • Payment expiration reminder

Subscription Client Case Study:

Billing Subscribers

Client Challenge

Our client, a Polish file sharing service, had just launched their subscription offering by selling gigabytes of data that renew every week, month, quarter or year. But our client discovered that some customers wanted to buy only a set amount of data at a time, either as an add-on to their subscription or as a one-time purchase. They needed a billing solution to support these complex scenarios.
