Zuora, Inc., a monetization platform, has expanded its partnership with Workday, Inc., integrating Zuora’s order-to-cash automation with Workday Financial Management to streamline complex billing and revenue streams for business-to-consumer (B2C) companies.
This collaboration addresses the evolving challenge companies face in managing diverse revenue models, including subscriptions, usage-based pricing, special offers, and hybrid models, each with distinct billing rules. By combining Zuora’s monetization tools with Workday’s financial platform, businesses can more effectively track revenue, ensure compliance with accounting standards, and accelerate audits through automated reporting.
Todd McElhatton, chief operating and financial officer at Zuora, commented on the announcement, stating, “Today’s announcement highlights our continued commitment to Zuora and Workday customers, combining Workday’s trusted financial backbone with Zuora’s intelligent monetization engine to optimize the order-to-cash process. Together, we’re empowering finance to be a stronger strategic partner to the business, armed with the unified view of financial data necessary to go to market even faster.”
The certified Zuora Connector for Workday Financial Management functions as a specialized sub-ledger within Workday Accounting Center, automatically feeding financial records to Workday’s general ledger. This integration provides companies with a single, unified view of their financial data, enhancing the accuracy of financial processes and reducing the need for manual data entry.
“Accuracy is a constant challenge for companies managing complex revenue streams,” said Rob Enslin, president and chief commercial officer at Workday. “Our partnership with Zuora will provide customers with a single, reliable view of their financial data – making it easier to operate efficiently, no matter the business model.”
