The billing and financial operations platform at the heart of your B2B SaaS monetization engine

Every B2B SaaS company needs a core set of people, processes, and technology to power their monetization engine.

Maxio sits between the CRM and General Ledger, automating the order-to-cash process and allowing you to bill customers, collect cash and report on the metrics that matter to your business.

Maxio powers your monetization engine at every step

Offer

Curate custom offers for your customers composed of different products, components, and coupons. Bill and price the way you want.

Within Maxio’s Advanced Billing module, you can define your product catalog inclusive of:

advanced billing offers feature example

Items your customers will subscribe to, including price, recurrence, taxation, and an optional trial period.

Line items which can be added to a product as needed, such as add-ons, upsells, and usage-based pricing options.

Standardized discounts you define to personalize offers and close deals faster.

The amount you charge customers for products and components.

Combinations of the essential product catalog building blocks (products, components, and coupons) into packages that are easier to bring to market.

Offers can be presented as a quote to a prospective customer using offer signup pages.

Acquire

Pipe your customer and order data into Maxio via a CRM integration or allow your customers to purchase through your website or application. There are multiple ways you can acquire customers and get customer and order data into Maxio:

  • CRM integration: Maxio integrates with best-in-class CRMs, such as Salesforce, HubSpot, and Pipedrive.
  • API call: Maxio’s Advanced Billing module offers a robust API, meaning you can bill directly from your application.
  • Maxio UI: Create customer records and subscriptions within the Maxio Advanced Billing user interface.
  • Self-service pages: Create customizable, branded sign-up pages for products or offers and enable your customers to self-service.

Invoice

Enrich your customers’ billing experience with customizable invoices. Allow your customers to pay and track historical invoices via a billing portal.

Maxio Advanced Billing invoices can be generated either automatically or manually. Invoices will fall into one of the following statuses:

Draft | Pending | Open | Processing | Paid | Voided | Canceled

Discounts on a line item derive from your coupons. Coupons don’t necessarily apply to all line items, as it’s possible to apply a restriction by product or component within your product catalog.

Credits are captured in credit notes. A credit note is like a “reverse invoice” — it contains line items representing the amount credited to specific items (products and components).

Collect Cash

Drive down DSO, extend cash runway, and mitigate your risk of non-payment with Maxio’s collections and dunning capabilities.

Within Maxio’s Advanced Billing module, there are three methods for invoice collection:

  • Automatic: Advanced Billing attempts to collect payment automatically from a payment method on file (credit card or ACH) when the invoice is issued.
  • Remittance: Advanced Billing does not attempt to automatically collect payment. Instead, your customer remits payment on the invoice, often in the form of a check or bank draft, in response to receiving the invoice.
  • Prepaid: Advanced Billing collects an initial prepayment which is used to fund a usage-based subscription. Further usage will pull from the prepayment balance until it reaches $0 and suspends, or auto-replenishes. The renewal invoice is marked as “automatic.”

Maxio’s revenue recognition capabilities allow you to:

  • Apply recognition rules consistently Apply your revenue policy automatically, consistently, and accurately across your entire customer base.
  • Recognize revenue deviations Deal with revenue recognition caveats directly in Maxio. Easily modify revenue recognition schedules for individual customers, contracts, or transactions as needed.

Close the books

Automatically generate journal entries at month’s end and squash reconciliation issues as they arise.

Maxio allows you to close the books faster by integrating bi-directionally with popular GLs and ERPs, such as QuickBooks and NetSuite.  The key data objects that flow back and forth between Maxio and GLs/ERPs are customers, invoices, credits, refunds, items, and payments.
