Case Study: CoreOS achieves automated, scalable usage-based billing and faster growth with Billforward

CoreOS - Customer Case Study

CoreOS, an open-source lightweight operating system, faced complex pricing needs for its Container Linux product—varying levels of free access depending on usage and the need to create customized enterprise pricing. To solve this, CoreOS engaged Billforward and its usage-based billing and enterprise invoicing services.

Billforward implemented usage-based billing that lets CoreOS experiment with free and paid models and move users to paid access via triggers such as users, nodes, or data, while its enterprise billing and invoice design tools allow sales to create tailored packages and payment requests in real time. By using Billforward’s automated, scalable platform, CoreOS avoided spending devops resources on a billing system, gained faster, more flexible and more accurate management information, and improved customer offerings to support faster growth.
