Introducing scheduled monthly reports for pay-as-you-go subscriptions

Managing pay-as-you-go cloud subscriptions became easier with ActivePlatform’s new feature: scheduled monthly reports. This feature works perfectly with integrated PAYG services like Microsoft Azure Plan, Google Cloud Platform, and AWS. It offers businesses greater control and flexibility in tracking their cloud service consumption, with the ability to automate and customize reports based on their specific needs. Let’s dive into how this can help streamline your operations.

With this new functionality, customers can schedule up to five different reports that detail their PAYG subscriptions for the previous month. This automated feature reduces the time spent on manually pulling data and ensures timely access to critical information at the beginning of each month.

Once the reports are generated, customers are notified via email, including a download link to the report in their preferred format—either XLSX or CSV. This eliminates the need to log in manually to check for updates and ensures that critical consumption data is delivered directly to the right stakeholders.

Every business operates differently, and ActivePlatform understands that. That’s why the reports can be tailored to fit different needs. Each of the five scheduled reports can include:

• Daily consumption data of one, several, or all pay-as-you-go subscriptions within a particular product.
• Flexibility to focus on individual accounts or an aggregated view of multiple subscriptions, allowing businesses to focus on the areas that matter most to them.

Whether your business prefers granular, detailed reports or a broader overview, the feature can accommodate these preferences to provide insightful and actionable data.

The on-the-fly report generation feature is still available and now offers valuable flexibility for businesses with substantial and complex consumption data. With this alternative to scheduled reports, customers can generate consumption reports at any time, providing immediate insights into resource usage.

This functionality is especially beneficial for those who need more frequent access to detailed reports or require the latest data for internal analysis and client communication. By offering real-time report generation, this feature helps businesses make timely, data-driven decisions and manage their cloud service usage more effectively.

ActivePlatform’s scheduled monthly reports feature is a powerful tool for businesses to monitor their cloud consumption. By providing automated, customizable, and flexible reporting options, it helps companies make data-driven decisions while minimizing manual work. Whether your customers handle a few subscriptions or manage a large portfolio, this feature is designed to help them optimize their cloud services and costs.
