Case Study: Educational Media Company achieves real-time pricing agility and cuts price-update time from months to minutes with BillingPlatform

Educational Media Company - Customer Case Study

Educational Media Company, a global education media enterprise operating in more than 20 countries with a catalogue of over 1 million bound and digital products, faced a pricing bottleneck: legacy rating tools turned routine pricing updates into months-long IT projects, leaving marketing unable to react quickly to competitive pressure from players like Amazon. To solve this, they turned to BillingPlatform and its configurable pricing/monetization platform to support dynamic, multi-dimensional rental and subscription pricing.

BillingPlatform was configured in under two months to provide a centralized UI, REST APIs and workflow automation that let business users apply mass price changes to thousands of items in minutes, automate rental extensions and buyouts, and push updates in real time to the online catalog and inventory. The result: the company moved from a three‑month IT cycle to one-step, minute‑level pricing changes, improved competitive responsiveness and the ability to maintain or grow market share through real‑time price matching and lifecycle automation.
