Usage Engine helps B2B software to manage complex usage data and convert it into billable data. It ingests usage data at scale, normalizes, enriches, corrects, and aggregates data from multiple sources before sending the results to downstream systems for billing. It helps you to eliminate revenue loss, remove manual errors, and shorten billing cycles.

Usage Engine offers:

  • Total flexibility with the ability to collect, process, and forward usage data from and to any source

  • Customer-centric intelligence to correlate and aggregate data, and bind it to a specific customer in near real-time

  • 100% accuracy with no data loss

  • Scalability to meet the requirements of both small and large businesses in any industry

Usage Engine collects and forwards usage data from and to different sources using a variety of file transfer protocols, message queues, and RESTful APIs. 

The collected data is processed in user-configured streams for: 

  • Deduplication

  • Validation

  • Filtering

  • Aggregation and correlation

  • Splitting and merging

  • Recording data statistics

  • Metering

  • Anomaly detection

The processed usage data is then forwarded to external systems, such as cloud billers, cloud storage, etc.

As a user of Usage Engine, you can build and operate streams using a flow-based graphical user interface. Add parameterized or code-enabled functions to your streams to collect, process, and forward data as required by your solutions.
