Plans, options andpricing

At the heart of every on-demand offering is choice. Your marketing department needs it and your customers want it because one product or payment option may not be right for every person or business. SaaS Automation lets you create your product catalog with unlimited product plans, product options, bundles, free trials, promotions, pricing and payment plans, and then automatically manages those plans for you.

Registration of new accounts and users is a critical process for subscription software. SaaS Automation lets you register new subscribers through multiple methods including; branded online sign up pages, administrative portals, bulk imports or integration to other applications such as your favorite CRM.

Subscribed customers can administer their own licenses, add or change services which the system will capture to ensure accurate billing.

Using either named-user or concurrent license models, subscribers are authenticated and then provisioned access according to the plans purchased. You set up your business rules and our systems manage access accordingly. As an example, multi-level business rules can direct what happens if payment is not received or the end of a free trial period is reached.

We provide the tools that allow you to sell your services through multiple levels of partners with full financial tracking and reporting so you always know who sold what to whom

Our on-demand services integrate easily with your software through standard SOAP and XML API’s. You don't have to build your software on our platform or around us to fully use the services we deliver. SaaS Automation makes it easy to combine other applications and options in to a single service offering to your customers.
