How to manage subscriptions flexibly and fully automated
basicthinking from November 27, 2019: We have known since Spotify, Netflix and co: One-off purchases are gradually becoming a thing of the past. But although subscription models did not just enter our everyday lives yesterday, they are more in demand than ever, especially due to the digitalization of commerce. With the right solution, companies can make their internal processes more efficient and delight customers in the long term.
Have you ever heard of the so-called Subscription Economy heard? This term describes a model with which more and more companies in both the B2B and B2C sectors are responding to the changing purchasing and usage behavior of consumers.
You have probably already noticed this phenomenon yourself: The direct purchase of a product or service is no longer the goal these days. Instead of ownership, more and more customers and companies prefer flexible use including best possible service. A change that is not just limited to the media sector – nor to the B2C sector.
The regular and fixed-term payment for a product has also been an important revenue generator in the B2B segment for many years – especially for software and digital services.
Subscriptions provide regular income. And customers benefit continuously from services such as current software licenses and updates. A cumbersome purchase is thus a thing of the past.
