Industry pack

Bring recurring work into the customer account.

Keep plans, renewals and recurring invoices alongside the customer’s other business. Review billing changes and the movement in recurring revenue from the same records.

Accounts and reports connected to the businesses and transactions behind them.
What it turns on

What changes at the next renewal?

Review the customer’s plan, billing schedule and agreed changes together. Keep the renewal and resulting invoice linked to the account.

  • Subscription plans with tiers, usage-based charges and changes part-way through a term
  • Sign a customer up in one step, with their billing schedule created from the plan
  • Monthly recurring revenue split into new, upgrades, downgrades and cancellations, and matched to the books
  • Failed payments retried on a set schedule, then service put on hold instead of failing quietly
  • Part-period charges worked out on upgrade, downgrade and cancellation
  • Recurring invoices raised alongside your normal sales invoices, in the same books

What it doesn't do

What it doesn't change.

A pack changes default settings, the wording on screen and what your home screen shows. It doesn't add a separate system, a separate set of books or a separate product, and it doesn't lock you in. Switch it off and you have the full standard system, with every record you created still there.

No separate industry fee

There is no separate pack fee. Check the plan comparison for the capabilities and usage limits your business needs.

Switchable later

Change the pack when your business changes. Your data stays where it is and nothing is retyped.

You don't have to pick one

With no pack switched on, the standard workspace remains available within your subscription’s feature and usage limits.

Does this pack cost extra?

Can I switch this pack off later?
