Platform.sh Partners with BillingPlatform for Enhanced Revenue

Global Platform-as-a-Service leader unifies billing for self-service and enterprise customers with subscription and usage-based billing prorated down to the second

BillingPlatform, an innovative enterprise revenue lifecycle management platform, has been chosen by Platform.sh, a prominent Cloud Application Platform, to streamline its billing systems. This collaboration allows Platform.sh to automate revenue management for both enterprise and self-service customers, offering billing solutions that can even be prorated down to the second.

With a user base of over 7,000 organizations worldwide spanning various industries including consumer goods, media, government, eCommerce, and higher education, Platform.sh presents a unified and secure enterprise-grade Cloud Application Platform. The company collaborates with top open-source providers and major cloud services such as AWS, Google Cloud, Azure, and OVHcloud. Through its robust services, Platform.sh enhances cloud development, helping developers effortlessly transition code into production-ready applications while maintaining seamless collaboration throughout the software delivery lifecycle.

Platform.sh’s existing billing solution, operational for nearly a decade and heavily customized, became increasingly unsustainable. It hindered the company’s ability to scale its revenue management in a fast-paced environment. The introduction of the new Upsun service added an additional layer of complexity by necessitating a self-service, usage-based billing model alongside traditional enterprise subscriptions.

"Being experts in cloud application infrastructure, we realized that our legacy billing system was inadequate for our swift growth. It could not adapt to our hybrid model, which required melding subscription and precise usage-based billing at high volumes," shared Maurice Roberts, Director of FP&A at Platform.sh. "After reviewing various vendors, we found that BillingPlatform provided the only solution with a flexible data model that we can configure to our specifications while allowing billing down to the second, ensuring our customers are billed accurately for usage."

Serving a diverse global clientele in industries such as software, finance, and communications, BillingPlatform is a market leader in billing and revenue management solutions. Its platform supports enterprises in monetizing a range of product offerings, whether they are straightforward subscriptions or intricate usage-based pricing models. The comprehensive lifecycle support offered by BillingPlatform streamlines all aspects of the monetization process — from product setup to payment collections — on a secure, next-generation cloud infrastructure. This flexibility places the power in enterprises' hands to effectively differentiate their offerings, maximize profits, lower operational costs, and enhance customer experiences.

"With an emphasis on supporting developer needs, Platform.sh’s goal is to enable application teams to build, iterate, and scale cloud applications without the burden of managing the underlying infrastructure," commented Dennis Wall, CEO of BillingPlatform. "This partnership demonstrates our unique capability to facilitate billing for on-demand usage services, providing a transparent billing experience for Platform.sh's customers to ensure they are charged only for the resources they consume."

BillingPlatform has achieved numerous recognitions, including accolades from Forrester Research, where it was named a leader in the report, titled "The Forrester Wave™: Recurring Billing Solutions, Q1 2025." It has also been recognized in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Recurring Billing Applications, evaluated with high ratings across several categories, and has consistently proven its innovative approach in the automation of revenue management.

With awards like the IDC 2024 SaaS Award for Customer Satisfaction in Subscription Management and recognition in Deloitte's Technology Fast 500 ranking, BillingPlatform continues to lead and shape the future of billing solutions within various industries. Additionally, its commitment to customer satisfaction and operational excellence was emphasized through recognition on the Inc. 5000 list, showcasing the company's rapid growth and success.
