Revenue that ties to the contract and to the cash
A subscription software business
Contracts are signed in one system, invoiced from another and recognised in a spreadsheet that releases deferred revenue monthly. Annual prepayments make cash look better than trading. Renewals are tracked by whoever remembers, and the figures in the board pack are rebuilt each quarter from three exports that never quite reconcile.
What it is designed to do
- Billing and recognition both come from one contract record
- Deferred revenue releases on schedule instead of by journal
- Cash and recognised revenue reported separately, on purpose
