Case Study: a European online marketplace achieves scalable, auditable ecommerce billing with ScienceSoft

European Online Marketplace cuts billing costs with ScienceSoft by scaling from 2 to 50+ app servers

ScienceSoft was engaged by a European online marketplace with over 2 million users to address a challenge with their third-party billing-as-a-service solution. The company found the long-term cost of the BaaS provider to be significantly higher than developing and maintaining a custom in-house billing platform.

ScienceSoft implemented a scalable, cloud-based custom billing platform to process ecommerce payments. The solution, which is fault-tolerant and auditable, fully replaced the previous system and allows users to manage billing processes securely without leaving the marketplace site. The new platform proved to be more cost-efficient, with its dynamic scaling capability seamlessly handling loads requiring from 2 to over 50 application servers.
