With Gotransverse, you can be confident you are creating accurate general ledger entries with a configurable, rules-based subscription revenue recognition engine, designed for limitless pricing models. With fully automated daily revenue recognition capabilities, Gotransverse greatly expedites the revenue recognition process for subscriptions. Implement your revenue policies, and Gotransverse handles the rest.
If a company’s business model includes a high volume of transactions and/or any combination of subscription, usage or volume-based measures, then automating this process is not only a best practice, it is essential. Take it easy on your general ledger and get meaningful, accurate information for high volumes of transactions with a smart aggregation of general ledger transactions. Our subscription revenue recognition engine is rules-based, ensuring standardization and traceability, setting you up for success during audits.
Unique to Gotransverse is the industry’s first native subledger that easily applies complex revenue recognition policies specific to your company, including guidance associated with US GAAP and IFRS and also provides the flexibility to quickly address the changes in those policies and guidance. This native platform capability applies sophisticated and dynamic charging/billing scenarios to recognize revenue as needed. Having revenue recognition native to the platform and the ability to trace revenue recognition to specific accounts receivable events means better future forecasting, cleaner audit trails, and faster times to close the books, especially for consumption-based offerings.
