The Sage Intacct 2022 Release 2 from Sage is now available. Building on its leading subscription billing solution for SMBs, Release 2 adds support for evergreen subscriptions.
In today's competitive market, many SaaS and subscription businesses grow by offering a variety of billing models to meet varying customer needs. As businesses grow their blended subscription models, SMBs have long struggled to reconcile customer needs with the challenges this causes the back office.
With Release 2, Sage Intacct supports customers in SaaS businesses to easily bill auto-renewing subscriptions, report, and forecast billing and revenue. Sage Intacct now handles 300-plus product-led growth, usage, evergreen, enterprise and hybrid billing models as part of its solution—making it the only accounting vendor to support hybrid subscription models.
This enables customers to:
- Manage billing and revenues in perpetuity, including all future up-selling and down-selling, cancellations, and recurring billing cycles
- Eliminate the need to manually aggregate, integrate, and reconcile subscriptions with third-party solutions
- Navigate the complexity of hybrid models, accurately predict consumption, and roll out new pricing models with minimal impact to accounting and revenue operations
- Gain a consolidated view of financials, billing, revenue, cash, and SaaS metrics across billing models and cohorts, including historical, current and forecasts
Sage Intacct Business Unit EVP Dan Miller says that supporting its customers’ success in their given industry is core to what the company does. “Managing subscription billing manually is complex, the enhancements we have made in this release provides customers with an automated solution to a complicated manual process. This, in turn, helps our customers to focus on what matters— providing great customer service.”
