Case Study: HERE achieves monetization of location-based services and scalable, usage-based billing with Aria Systems

HERE Uses Aria to Monetize Location-based Services

HERE Technologies, a Netherlands-based leader in digital mapping and location services for automotive and enterprise customers (including Microsoft, FedEx and Samsung) sought to expand its usage‑based subscription offerings on the HERE Developer Portal. The company needed a monetization platform that could handle a basic subscription fee plus sophisticated hybrid rate schedules, track every API call and overage, send automated usage-threshold notifications, operate in multiple currencies, and eventually automate entitlement and billing across additional sales channels.

HERE selected Aria for its highly flexible product catalog, advanced usage-rating engine and customizable notifications. Aria enabled HERE to manage hundreds of plans—including over 40,000 rate tiers and 2,500 rate schedules—support channel-specific thresholding, scale across small and large customers, broaden SMB subscription uptake, reduce revenue leakage through automated entitlement and billing, and position the company to roll out more complex, usage-based products.
