Recurring customers are a valuable asset to businesses as they are often your most loyal advocates. They are the ones that are most likely to leave good reviews and recommend your products to others. They also create stable and predictable revenue streams, as well as costing less to maintain than acquiring new customers.

However, invoicing and processing repeat customers can be tedious, especially at a large scale. Not only will your employees spend valuable time generating invoices and processing payments, they risk making human errors during the considerable data entry that this process entails. By automating the recurring billing cycle, you can free up your employees’ time, allowing them to focus on providing a great customer service experience.
