Making the complex simple

Revenue recognition software to make life easier

Revenue recognition has traditionally been one of the most time-consuming parts of a finance team’s workload. Often completed in spreadsheets, with staff manually collating information from various sources and making manual adjustments, iplicit can automate the whole job and save large amounts of time.

This reduces errors and ensures completeness without rekeying of data, improving the information available to decision-makers in real-time.

Revenue recognition when invoicing

Set how the revenue needs to be deferred and over what period. iplicit then takes that invoice and apportions the revenue to the accounts on the right dates over the specified time automatically. 

Deferment profiles: 

You can defer on a “straight line” basis, with the funds split evenly over a set number of months or recognise revenue quarterly, or on a specific date in the future. Select an existing “deferment profile” or create one of your own as needed.

Analysing deferred revenue

iplicit allows you to view records of deferred revenue by individual customer, by groups of customers, or by projects recognised so far. All of this can be presented in graphical form. Users can also pull up a customer’s record and see what they ordered, their invoice details, how much revenue has been recognised so far and how much remains deferred. 

The deferred income schedules are available in real time in iplicit, enabling better forecasting and oversight at the click of a button. 

Maintaining standards 

Deferred revenue is a heavily regulated area of finance and iplicit takes care of it in line with IFRS15 and GAAP requirements.

Better information 

Handling revenue recognition through iplicit makes it much easier for the finance director and their team to prepare management accounts and year-end accounts.

Users can be confident that deferred revenue was applied properly from the moment the original information was entered, with no unpleasant surprises to come.  

Automating revenue recognition through iplicit saves large amounts of staff time and provides reassurance to internal stakeholders, auditors and potential investors that deferred revenue is treated in a compliant and transparent way.

 

"For so many tech companies, managing deferred revenue is one of the biggest manual tasks that the finance team will undertake every month."
