?? Day 2 of #LaunchWeek, and we couldn't be more excited to share our latest CRM integration — Salesforce. This will enable businesses to have a real-time sync between Salesforce CRM and Alguna (YC S23) where they can automatically sync crucial customer and subscription data—such as deal value, subscription status, renewal dates, and more—into your Salesforce instance. Coupled with yesterday's announcement of the redesigned #CPQ flow (https://lnkd.in/eiA-EzKh) this will provide #SalesOps and #RevOps teams complete visibility into the most important metrics, ensuring data accuracy across your quoting and billing processes. #CPQ #Billing #Salesforce #CRM

Another Alguna (YC S23) #LaunchWeek is upon us, and we’re excited to showcase everything our team has tirelessly built and delivered for our customers! We’re kicking off the week with one of the team's favorites – the New Customer Quote Experience. ???? This enhancement offers even greater flexibility and robustness while completely streamlining the quote-to-cash process with a single source of truth, eliminating the need to chase additional information during billing, renewals, or future upsells. ?? Embedded Alguna E-Signature Flow ?? Upload Your Custom Contract –?Easily upload and attach your contract documents, complete with billing details. ?? Link to External Documents – Effortlessly connect to important documents like Data Processing Agreements (DPAs) and Service Agreements. ?? Add Additional Custom Terms: Customize your quotes by incorporating specific terms (e.g., Automatic Renewals) on an ad-hoc basis. #CPQ #Quoting #BIlling

To wrap up our #IntegrationsWeek, we announce our first #CRM integration – HubSpot. How it works? ?? When a prospect reaches a certain stage of your choice in Deals Pipeline, the account is automatically created in Alguna. ??? Create a proposal in Alguna and send it directly to customers based on information in HubSpot. ?? Once the customer signs and is activated via Alguna, the information is updated back in HubSpot. This is a very significant step forward as it allows our customers to connect data between Sales and Finance teams seamlessly,?leaving no room for manual data inputs or errors. #CRM #Hubspot #billing

Enabling usage-based billing and submitting metering via API without engineers worrying about the pricing and billing engine logic was the very first feature we built when starting Alguna (YC S23). Today, we are taking this further by minimizing the effort to ingest metered events with our new integration with Google BigQuery. ?? No code connection setup by provisioning access to your data set ?? Alguna automatically ingests the usage ?? At this point, our billing engine calculates the invoice line items, allowing you to track and see upcoming customer invoices in real-time. #UsageBasedBilling #Billing #Invoicing #IntegrationsWeek

?? Integrations are super easy... you *just* need a lot of patience, hope that the docs are up to date, that the data is streaming through as expected, that you are not under any hard deadlines, and a guarantee that the integration will never break! Easy peasy, right? The reality is, unfortunately, a little bit different, but in order to deliver on our promise that Alguna (YC S23) complements your existing sales and finance tools across the whole customer lifecycle, we are launching the #IntegrationsWeek.
