A platform for growth

Provide your business a platform for scalable revenue growth without adding additional staff, and comply with the latest financial regulations. Certinia Revenue Management works seamlessly with Salesforce applications and Certinia Accounting, or can be deployed standalone alongside your existing ERP systems.

Revenue model-agnostic

Products, subscriptions, professional and business services, usage-based contracts, and any combination thereof—track all revenue streams and scenarios using a single, unified tool. Easily bring in revenue source data from across the business and automate complex revenue calculations and allocations across multiple customer contracts and individual performance obligations.

ASC 606, IFRS 15, and more

Interactive reports with side-by-side comparison allow you to quickly assess the impact of new revenue recognition rules (e.g. ASC 606, IFRS 15, and AASB 15) and adjust processes and pricing strategies accordingly. Enforce and modify internal controls to efficiently record transactions while supporting current and future compliance standards.

Audit-friendly

Improve revenue visibility and controls by making them repeatable and auditable, which in turn leads to a smoother, faster, less costly, and more accurate audit preparation process and audit trails. Automate the linkage between revenue source transactions and revenue recognition accounting entries. Adhere to the new standards with ease, recognize revenue against performance obligations as a function of the standalone selling price (SSP), and manage it all on the Salesforce platform alongside your other customer, order management, and billing activity.

Forecasting & business insights

Get a complete, visual view of your revenue streams, with real time, side-by-side actuals versus forecast insights, which can be easily personalized by business users. Empower teams to make more informed decisions in a timely manner, and gain holistic insight into the downstream financial impact of changing business models, pricing strategies, and customer contracts on recognized revenue.
