eVapt On Demand Monetization Platform

With eVapt's On demand Monetization platform, SaaS vendors benefit from revenue acceleration, revenue assurance and improved operational efficiency. eVapt has built a set of innovative software modules which measure usage of on-demand applications without the need for custom coding.

SaaS vendors benefit because the solution helps them:

• Ensure revenue stream by developing a deeper understanding of customers' needs and expectations
• Recognize efficiencies and reduce costs by focusing on their core competency.
• Expand market presence and increase revenue by creating service bundles for a variety of budgets

The foundation of eVapt's service provides the underlying security, scalability, data storage and visual rendering capabilities. It also aggregates customer, business service and service usage data for business processes. The Business Service Catalog, SaaS View, Contract Management and Billing Mediation are business modules which run on the foundation to provide the necessary functionality.

Business Service Catalog -> Publish Business Services

SaaS providers need to advertise services like an auto parts company does in a catalog or a restaurant does in its menu. Their marketing and sales teams need the ability to bundle features, create specials, provide custom orders and clearly communicate this information to their customers. Using our Business Service Catalog, providers can bundle features into packages and define how the package is priced. We provide an easy to use yet powerful Business Service Catalog that gives providers the flexibility they need to create and position bundled products.

SaaS View -> Understand service utilization

SaaSView gives an at-a-glance view of critical data that empowers software companies to make and act on high-impact business decisions.  Through a simple-to-use web-based interface, SaaSView allows SaaS vendors to view, analyze, export, and store important metrics associated with their application. SaaSView actually provides vendors with quantitative business data on how their application is being used. By providing the ability to gather and analyze these technical and business metrics, SaaSView can drive business decisions and optimize a SaaS vendor's chances of success. With SaaSView, vendors can avoid the costs and complexities of building these decision support capabilities into their offerings.   

Contract Management -> Generate customer contracts

SaaS providers need to generate contracts for cataloged services and ensure compliance. SaaS is all about providing business value to customers based on their needs. To do this, SaaS providers need to provide a-la-carte pricing and bundle features into sellable packages. There are many benefits to usage based pricing, however, it also brings complexity to contract creation, tracking and enforcement. Our ability to simplify the creation, metering and compliance of contracts allows SaaS providers to reap the benefits of not having to deal with the contract complexities. Our Contract Management module allows SaaS providers to create and track unique customer contracts based on packages or custom pricing.

Billing Mediation -> Automate the billing process

SaaS providers need to generate invoices in accordance with contracts. Generating usage based invoices manually is time consuming and error prone. Our Billing Mediation module can automate this process and create invoices based on customer order and billing cycles. It then optionally sends invoice data to a payment processing system through our integration infrastructure.
