Transparent Billing Process
Heeros, a Finnish software company, specializes in cloud-based financial administration solutions. Heeros’ modular SaaS offering covers essential financial administration tasks and they were looking into streamlining their contract-to-cash process.
“We were able to increase our revenues by changing the pricing structure and prevent revenue leakage with the help of Good Sign.”

CFO, Heeros Oyj
End of manual billing work
Automation reduces manual billing work, and therefore also eliminates billing errors
Transparent billing that scales
Greater transparency also gave Heeros the ability to grow their business
Plugged revenue leakage
All transactions are automatically recorded, priced, and billed appropriately
Challenge: Manual Work, Leaking Revenue, Lack of Transparency
Heeros had several invoicing sources and was missing an integrated solution for their customer portfolio as a whole. They did not have a common tool for pricing and contract management either. The result was a laborsome, error-prone process that caused a substantial amount of revenue leakage.
Heeros was looking for a system that would enable revenue growth (through pricing and billing automation) and reduce the ever-increasing manual effort. Plus, they needed the invoicing process to include usage reports for customers.
Their final worry was process and data management issues that was hurting their billing architecture (i.e. CRM and ERP + billing systems).
