The advantages of FinancialForce Billing
Enterprise-level billing software – as a service
FinancialForce Billing is being developed to apply CODA’s original on-premise accounting software expertise and capitalize on functioning as an integral part of the Salesforce CRM application.
It will bring you award-winning on-premise software features for customer invoice and credit note handling, including sophisticated tools to meet even the most complex requirements – for example, highly configurable revenue recognition scheduling capabilities.
But all delivered as a flexible, scaleable on-demand service.
Better still, like all our FinancialForce applications, Billing is pre-integrated with Salesforce CRM and designed for easy integration to link into other line-of-business applications or to supplement any existing financial or ERP system.
Click on any of the features below, to find out more about how FinancialForce Billing is designed to benefit your organization.
Built for growth
Not only does the Force.com cloud computing platform provide proven scaleability (in terms of transaction volumes and user numbers) but our multi-currency and multi-company application will also handle the more complex billingrequirements of a business, as it: expands into new markets, opens new locations, acquires other companies and trades publicly.
Predictable, affordable and low risk
Because FinancialForce Billing is a cloud computing application, there are no infrastructure and maintenance fees to worry about. Customers just pay a regular, predictable, subscription-based license fee.
As well as affordability, being cloud-based reduces risk and speeds up the return on investment. Billing offers rapid implementation and flexible deployment – anywhere; for organizations of all types and sizes – with the added benefits of sharing an unrivalled stable, secure and proven platform: Force.com.
Easy to adopt and to use
Our applications are easy to understand and use. They also incorporate familiar Salesforce CRM features, such as the report writer, workflow rules, authorization flows, calendar-based events, reminders and follow-ups; all of which can be used with FinancialForce Billing data in exactly the same way as they are used for CRM.
Smarter “joined-up” working
Because FinancialForce Billing and the Salesforce CRM co-exist on a single platform (Force.com), you gain a true 360° view of your customers from a single screen. This enables:
- fully integrated working between your customer-focused teams and essential back-office functions such as accounting and billing
- seamless business process support across departments
- instant access to accurate, up-to-the minute customer and financial information, without rekeying.
Adapting to your needs
FinancialForce Billing offers complete flexibility to implement it in the way that best meets your particular requirements, whether you need:
- an application that is pre-integrated with Salesforce CRM and/or
- affordable, dedicated tools for your billing staff alongside your full FinancialForce Accounting users and/or
- invoicing tools that easily link into your other key applications or accounting systems and/or
- a completely stand-alone, best-of-class sales invoicing application.
Opening up the latest tools and services
Salesforce CRM and FinancialForce applications offer rapid, internet-based integration with other web services,
such as Google Docs
,
PayPal
and mapping applications. For example, the PayPal integration enables customers to make instant payments direct from your emailed invoice.
Working in the SaaS environment opens up this kind of advanced functionality, which would be very hard to achieve with traditional on-premise applications.
