Case Study: Qumulo scales automated billing without adding headcount with M3ter

Qumulo scales billing across 4 clouds and 600+ pricing permutations with M3ter

Qumulo, a provider of enterprise unstructured data storage, faced significant challenges as its cloud business grew. Its initial billing system, built and maintained by Engineering, relied on manual scripts and spreadsheets. This led to engineering bottlenecks, limited visibility into billing, and instances of unbilled revenue. Qumulo needed a scalable solution, specifically the m3ter platform, to automate billing and free its engineering team from these non-core tasks.

By implementing m3ter, Qumulo's business systems team successfully automated its entire billing process. The platform handled complex pricing across multiple clouds and marketplaces. The results were transformative: billing ownership shifted from Engineering to business systems, prepay tracking was automated with real-time dashboards, and revenue recognition was fully integrated. Notably, a single person implemented the system, allowing Qumulo to support massive growth without adding any new hires.
