Recurring billing that goes out on the right date, every time
Retainers, rentals, subscriptions, instalments, milestones and usage, each on its own terms. duebird works out what's owed on every date and prepares the invoice ahead of it. If something falls behind, it stops and asks instead of quietly catching up.
How it runs
Terms in, invoices out, on the right dates
Describe what you bill
A schedule holds one charge per thing the customer pays for. Each charge reads as a sentence, so anyone can check it.
See it before it bills
Before anything is saved, the preview walks every bill date: what each invoice will say, what each month brings in, and what waits on a milestone or on usage.
Invoices are prepared ahead of the date
A few days before each bill date, what's owed becomes order lines and a draft invoice, grouped the way the customer wants to be billed. You can prepare an invoice early, or prepare every invoice by hand.
Change happens from a date
A seat change, a new rate or a ramp is a new term from its date, never an edit of the old one, so past invoices still make sense. Pause, resume, move an occurrence, skip one or waive it.
Nothing slips, nothing piles up
A schedule that has fallen more than two periods behind stops and asks a person, rather than producing a year of invoices at once. Renewal notice deadlines and spend caps raise a flag weeks ahead.
What it handles
The billing models B2B agreements actually use
Recurring
Seats, retainers, subscriptions and rentals at a price per day, week, month, quarter or year, billed on any cadence.
per seatper monthquarterly
Usage
Hours, units or anything recorded, billed in arrears at a rate, with an optional minimum trued up when the period closes.
in arrearsminimums
Milestones and instalments
Fixed amounts or a percentage of the total, due on a date or when a milestone is reached.
% of totalon reach
Advance or arrears
Stated per charge and never guessed. A contract that doesn't say is a question for you.
in advancein arrears
Calendars and offsets
Bill on a day of the month, the last day, the second Tuesday or set dates, shifted off weekends.

Short periods
A start mid-month is measured fairly: calendar months where they fit, days where they don't.

Ramps and escalations
Prices that change on a date, and yearly increases applied on the anniversary.

Renewals and caps
Auto-renewing terms held until the notice deadline passes, and spend caps that hold billing past a limit.

Grouping
Invoice per bill date, monthly consolidated, per charge or across schedules, split by site and project where needed.
