Industry Challenges

Common SaaS Business Challenges We Address

SaaS companies managing recurring subscriptions, usage-based pricing, seat-based licensing, tiered plans, add-ons, and proration require sophisticated billing automation. SaaS billing software must handle any pricing model, automate renewals, manage upgrades/downgrades, and process payments without manual intervention.eduling software that can’t balance capacity, materials, and demand effectively. Manual scheduling processes, limited visibility into production status, and inefficient resource allocation impact delivery performance. NetSuite’s production planning capabilities provide real-time shop floor visibility and automated capacity planning.

FinTech revenue models — from transaction fees and subscription services to platform and performance-based revenue — demand robust revenue recognition aligned with ASC 606 and IFRS 15. Systems must support complex revenue arrangements, automate calculations, and produce compliant, audit-ready financial reporting across both UK and US standards.

Investors and boards require SaaS-specific metrics including MRR, ARR, CAC, LTV, churn rate, net revenue retention, and expansion revenue. SaaS analytics software must calculate metrics automatically from operational and financial data eliminating manual spreadsheets.

Managing subscription payments, handling failed payments, recovering declined cards, and optimising collections impacts cash flow. SaaS payment software must integrate with payment processors, automate dunning, and maximise successful collections.

SaaS companies selling internationally require multi-currency billing, localised invoicing, global tax management, and consolidated financial reporting. SaaS ERP must support worldwide operations from single platform.
