Introduction to Subscription-Based Business

The global business environment is rapidly moving away from traditional revenue recognition methods toward internationally accepted International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). This shift is driving organizations to transition from one-time service or license-based models to recurring, subscription-based business models.

Industry leaders such as Netflix and Amazon have set global benchmarks by adopting subscription billing models. These approaches offer flexibility, scalability, and predictable recurring revenue, encouraging businesses across industries to adopt similar strategies.

What Is a Subscription Business Model?

A subscription business model requires customers to pay a recurring fee at predefined intervals to access a product or service. These subscriptions represent contractual agreements—even when no physical contract is signed.

When customers accept a company’s Terms of Service (also referred to as Terms of Use or Terms and Conditions), a legally binding contractual relationship is established between the customer and the organization.

Challenges of Hybrid Business Models with Complex Billing Requirements

Software and technology companies continue to experience rapid changes in billing structures. As organizations move from perpetual licenses with annual maintenance fees to subscription-based offerings, billing complexity increases significantly.

Even businesses operating purely on subscriptions are now adopting usage-based and consumption-driven billing models, where charges fluctuate based on customer usage. Traditional standalone billing systems lack the real-time visibility and integration required to support these evolving models.

Modern billing solutions must be tightly integrated with core business processes to support real-time transactions, revenue recognition, and financial reporting. Managing billing across hybrid business models remains one of the most critical challenges for growing organizations.

Why NetSuite SuiteBilling?

As organizations adopt subscription and usage-based revenue models, they need a billing solution that accurately reflects pricing structures, consumption data, and contractual terms across defined billing periods.

Available exclusively to NetSuite users, NetSuite SuiteBilling simplifies complex billing operations while providing real-time visibility into billing and financial data.

Key Capabilities Include:

• Consolidated invoicing

• Automated rating and charge calculations

• Support for multiple pricing models

• Transparent tracking of billing activity

SuiteBilling is purpose-built for subscription and usage-based billing scenarios where consumption levels vary. It also allows businesses to easily add, modify, or remove products from active subscriptions.

Flexible Pricing Plans

NetSuite SuiteBilling supports both standard and customer-specific pricing plans, including:

Flat Pricing

Customers are charged a fixed amount during each billing cycle.

Volume-Based Pricing

Pricing is determined by total consumption or entitlement. The highest volume tier reached determines the rate applied to the full quantity.

Tiered Pricing

Different rates apply across multiple usage tiers, with the final billed amount calculated using varying per-unit rates for each tier.

Streamlined Billing Processes

SuiteBilling enables complete automation of billing operations and supports multiple subscription types, including evergreen subscriptions and time-based contracts such as one-year or three-year agreements.

Subscription lifecycle events such as upsell, downsell, suspension, and termination are easily managed. Automated renewals help reduce revenue leakage and eliminate manual contract tracking.

Managing the Subscription Lifecycle

NetSuite SuiteBilling allows organizations to manage the full subscription lifecycle—from creating subscription items and sales orders to processing change orders and generating real-time billing and revenue reports.

Change Orders

Organizations can schedule immediate or future-dated changes to subscription pricing or quantities. These changes are recorded once and automatically applied on the effective date, removing the need for manual follow-ups.

Customer-Specific Pricing and Discounting

SuiteBilling supports both standard pricing templates and customized pricing structures. Businesses can define customer-specific pricing and discount rules at the item level, enabling flexible and personalized subscription agreements.

Powerful Rating Engine for Usage-Based Billing

NetSuite SuiteBilling includes a robust and flexible rating engine that supports:

• One-time and recurring charges

• Billing in advance or in arrears

• Setup fees, license counts, and variable usage within a single subscription

This flexibility improves billing accuracy while significantly enhancing operational efficiency.

Consolidated Charges and Reporting

SuiteBilling enables seamless consolidation of charges across multiple subscriptions. Real-time reporting delivers visibility into key financial metrics, including:

• Monthly Recurring Revenue (MRR)

• Total Contract Value (TCV)

• Customer churn
