Customers today expect a more personalized experience when they interact with suppliers. This includes billing experiences. By offering customer-centric billing, businesses can improve customer satisfaction and loyalty.
In 2023, service billing will be more customer-centric than ever. This means that companies will focus on providing a great customer experience while also ensuring that billing is accurate and easy to understand. And, naturally, the customer is always right, but there has never been a time when the customer had so many options to be right in decision-making. With the rise of the subscription economy, customers can evaluate their decisions, and suppliers need to prove themselves all over again to stay in business. What does this mean from a billing perspective? And what tech options do you have to keep up with these challenges?

Pay-per-use billing will continue to grow in popularity, as it allows customers to only pay for the services they use. There are many reasons for both clients and companies to prefer subscription or pay-per-use pricing. Clients love the full service, the monthly fees instead of the capital investment, the ease of use, and the guarantee of service (set it and forget it). And you might like more predictable recurring revenue, less churn, upsell potential, and higher customer lifetime value. So how do you get started?
