Built for the teams behind the invoice

We bill around 300 customers a month.

Some usage comes straight from AWS, Azure and Google Cloud, some through TD Synnex, and some from our own private cloud.

So three sources, three formats, three delivery moments?

Four, if you count the spreadsheet with the custom deals.

That mix is what the engine was built for.

It reads every source, applies your pricing rules line by line, and turns it into one invoice per customer.

And when a customer asks where a line comes from?

Merijn Schipper

Every line keeps its source record, so you can show exactly what was used.

How many of these apply to you?

  • How the engine fixes it Pricing rules are applied consistently, with no manual intervention required.
  • How the engine fixes it Usage data flows in from every provider and every internal system automatically. Your team reviews and approves, rather than builds from scratch.
  • How the engine fixes it Every resource is matched to a customer and product. Anything that can't be matched is flagged for review, so nothing falls through the cracks.
  • How the engine fixes it Invoices are generated with a clear trace of every line item.
  • How the engine fixes it You know your margin per customer, per service, per product.

These cases are the daily reality for most MSPs. The CloudBilling Engine was built to eliminate every single one of them.

What happens under the hood

Every billing run follows the same automated sequence. Here's what the CloudBilling Engine does with your data, from raw usage to approved invoice.

1. Data ingestion & resource mapping

The engine pulls usage, licence, and subscription data from all connected sources: tier 1 providers, tier 2 distributors, your own systems. Every record is automatically matched to the right customer, product, and invoice. Anything that can't be matched is flagged for review, so nothing falls through the cracks.

2. Pricing rule application

Your pricing rules are applied to every usage line: list prices, custom agreements, margins, discounts, and currency conversion. The same rules, applied the same way, every billing run, with no manual intervention required.

3. Invoice generation & approval

The engine generates draft invoices with a clear trace of every line item: which pricing rule, which resource, which discount. Your team reviews, adjusts where needed, and approves.

4. Delivery & exports

Approved invoices go out in the formats your organisation needs: PDF, Excel, CSV, or XML, in templates that match your financial software or regulatory requirements. Delivered to your customers and pushed to your accounting system automatically.

What the engine does for you

A clearer view of each capability, from the pain you deal with today to what CloudBilling does and the result your team gets back.

The pain

Your customers have different contracts with different pricing models. Some pay per use, some have fixed subscriptions, some have tiered pricing with volume discounts. Managing all of this manually is error-prone and doesn't scale.

What CloudBilling does

The pricing engine lets you configure prices at the level you need: per customer or customer group, per product or product category, per usage type. You set default prices and add overrides where needed. Discounts, markups, and tiered pricing are all supported. You define the rules once, and the engine applies them consistently across every invoice. When pricing changes, you update the rule and it takes effect on the next billing run.

The result

You can offer any pricing model your customers need, without creating complexity for your team. New pricing structures are configured in minutes, not built from scratch.

The pain

When a customer questions an invoice, your team has to reconstruct what was billed and why. Digging through vendor data, pricing agreements, and discount records takes hours.

What CloudBilling does

Every invoice is generated with a clear trace of pricing, discounts, and grouping applied to every usage line. The invoice viewer lets you drill down from totals to individual transactions, showing exactly which pricing rule was applied to which resource.

The result

Invoice disputes are resolved in minutes. Your customers see transparent invoices that build trust, and your team spends less time explaining and more time on work that matters.

The pain

After years of growth, the mapping between vendor data and customer invoices has become unclear. New subscriptions get added, old ones change, and nobody knows exactly which resources belong to which customer.

What CloudBilling does

The engine automatically maps every resource, subscription, and usage record to the correct customer. When new purchases come in that can't be matched, they're flagged immediately so nothing falls through the cracks.

The result

Every line item on every invoice is traceable and explainable. No more guesswork, no more manual matching.

The pain

You're collecting usage data from tier 1 providers like AWS and Azure, tier 2 distributors like Pax8 and Copaco, and potentially your own private cloud infrastructure. Each source has its own portal, data format, and pricing logic.

What CloudBilling does

The engine connects to all your providers through ready-made integrations and pulls in usage data automatically. It normalises the data from every source, applies your pricing rules, and consolidates everything onto a single invoice per customer, regardless of where the usage originated.

The result

One billing process for all your cloud services. Tier 1, tier 2, and private cloud, all handled in a single engine.

The pain

You suspect not every service and resource is being billed correctly, but with data scattered across multiple systems, finding the gaps takes significant time and effort.

What CloudBilling does

The engine tracks every transaction from source to invoice. It flags unmapped resources, unmatched purchases, and discrepancies between vendor data and billed amounts. The dashboard shows exactly where revenue might be leaking.

The result

You find the 3-7% of revenue that typically slips away unnoticed, and see where to claim it back. For a €10 million business, that's up to €700,000 per year.

The pain

Your customer base and product portfolio have grown organically. Finding out what a specific customer segment pays for a specific product category requires manual analysis across multiple systems.

What CloudBilling does

CloudBilling lets you organise customers and products in a cluster-like structure. You group customers by segment, region, or type, and products by category or service line. This structure unlocks powerful pricing and reporting options. For example: a special price for Dutch SMEs on all virtual machines, a VAT exemption for healthcare companies across all products, or a promotional discount on new servers for your AWS customers.

The result

Your catalogue reflects how your business actually works. Pricing rules, reporting, and insights all follow the same structure, giving you full control without manual workarounds.

The pain

When auditors ask questions about a past invoice, your team has to reconstruct the data from archives and scattered records. Proving what was billed, when, and why is time-consuming.

What CloudBilling does

The engine keeps a complete invoice history for every customer. Every billing run, every pricing rule application, and every approval is recorded. You can look back at any point in time and see exactly what happened.

The result

Audits become straightforward. Your billing data is always complete, always accessible, and always explainable.

The pain

Your finance team, your accounting software, and your customers all need invoice data in different formats. Manually converting and reformatting invoices is a recurring time drain.

What CloudBilling does

You can export invoices as PDF, Excel, CSV, or XML, in templates that match your financial software or regulatory requirements. The engine supports formats like Peppol and Dynamics F&O, and you can design templates that fit your specific needs.

The result

Every stakeholder gets invoice data in the format they need, without manual conversion. Exports flow directly into your accounting system or to your customers.

The pain

You bill customers in different countries and currencies, but your cloud providers charge you in yet another currency. Managing exchange rates and conversions manually is a compliance risk.

What CloudBilling does

The engine supports billing in any currency and handles conversions automatically. You define the currency per customer, and CloudBilling takes care of the rest.

The result

You serve international customers confidently without worrying about currency mismatches or manual conversion errors.

Frequently asked questions

What types of billing models does the CloudBilling Engine support?

The engine supports usage-based, subscription, tiered, bundled, and hybrid pricing models, or any combination. Pricing rules can be set at the level of a customer, a customer group, a product, a product category, or a usage type. You define defaults and add overrides where needed.

How does CloudBilling handle multi-cloud and multi-vendor environments?

CloudBilling connects to tier 1 providers (AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, VMware) and tier 2 distributors (Pax8, Ingram Micro, TD Synnex, Arrow, Copaco) through ready-made integrations. Usage data from all sources is pulled in automatically, normalised, and consolidated into one billing process.

Can I customise my invoice layout and exports?

Yes. You control your invoice design, line item grouping, and output format. Invoices can be exported as PDF, Excel, CSV, or XML in templates that match your financial software or regulations, including Peppol and Dynamics F&O.

How does the engine detect revenue leakage?

The engine tracks every transaction from source to invoice. Unmapped resources, unmatched purchases, and discrepancies between provider data and billed amounts are flagged automatically. The dashboard gives you a clear overview so you can act immediately.

What happens when a cloud provider changes their pricing or API?

CloudBilling maintains and updates all integrations continuously. When a provider changes their pricing structure, API, or data format, we update our connectors. Your pricing rules are separate from provider data, so you stay in control of what you charge.

How does CloudBilling differ from building billing in-house?

Building billing software sounds straightforward until you account for multi-cloud complexity, vendor pricing changes, currency handling, edge cases, and ongoing maintenance. CloudBilling has been solving these problems since 2012. Our ready-made integrations, flexible pricing engine, and proactive support let you focus on growth instead of billing infrastructure.
