billwerk’s Best-of-Breed vs. Zuora’s Best-of-Suite Solution Approach
Best-of-Breed
- Combination of different specialised software solutions.
- Individual customer needs are better met by combining specialised solutions.
- Very good and cost-effective integration into the existing IT system landscape.
- Increased flexibility, agility and a competitive advantage through the combination of various different modern state-of-the-art software technologies.
Best-of-Suite
- Generalistic, holistic solution from one product bundle.
- Comparatively investment-intensive solution for which costs & benefits must be weighed.
- Personalised adjustments are often difficult and can only be implemented through customising.
- Complete solutions are often only compatible to a limited extent and difficult to integrate. Reduced functionality and a delayed reaction to market changes are the result.

“Within a short period of time, we were already able to use the billwerk-solution to make a large number of decisive optimisations to our processes and the contract-relevant features, as well as to the business and pricing models themselves.”
“In addition to simple subscription management, we have steadily expanded our services with billwerk so that we can now also conveniently bill our customers for one-off purchases, such as the purchase of a digital rental contract or shipping via the interface to billwerk.”
“By introducing the billing and payment solution from billwerk, we were able to achieve better scalability due to the high degree of automation of the processes. A major advantage for our further growth was the integration of a business intelligence tool and debt collection provider. A high degree of control over processes and finances thus brings planning security.”
“When analysing different subscription management systems, it was important for us to find a provider that could demonstrate a GoBD certificate for consolidating accounting upstream systems, and here billwerk was the only provider we found. Thanks to this consolidated accounting in billwerk, we can completely dispense with mapping the business models in our group ERP.”
