Why finance teams choose Zone as their NetSuite billing automation software
Eliminate billing discrepancies by automating contract amendments
You know the monthly chaos: sales updates a contract mid-term, usage spikes unexpectedly or a customer downgrades – and suddenly you're manually recalculating prorations, hunting down credit memo approvals and rebuilding revenue schedules to make everything balance.
ZoneBilling handles contract amendments automatically within NetSuite, so when deals change, billing and revenue recognition update instantly without the manual cleanup work that keeps you at the office past close.
Improve compliance and audit readiness with transparent billing records
It's 2PM on a Friday when the external auditor asks: "This $847K in usage revenue – can you trace it back to the original contract terms and show me how the ASC 606 allocation was calculated?" You're scrambling through three different systems, trying to piece together usage data from your billing platform, contract terms from Salesforce and revenue schedules from NetSuite.
ZoneBilling eliminates this nightmare by creating a complete audit trail within NetSuite – from the moment a contract is signed through every invoice and revenue recognition entry, with full SOC 2 compliance built in.
Reduce manual setup and maintenance with an automated billing platform
You've probably been here – you're deep in a complex project when the Slack alert hits: "Salesforce isn't syncing to the billing system and we have 20 invoices stuck in queue." You're debugging API timeouts between four different systems while finance is asking when invoices will go out and the CEO wants to know why billing breaks every few weeks.
ZoneBilling runs as a native NetSuite SuiteApp – no external integrations to monitor, no middleware choking on data volumes, no emergency patches when one vendor pushes an update that breaks everything else. One system, one admin console, zero 9PM troubleshooting calls.
