Stop Managing Chaos. Start Engineering Growth.

From managing agile sprints and allocating developer resources to automating complex subscription billing and revenue recognition, our AI-enhanced ERP eliminates the friction so you can focus on what you do best: building great software and scaling your business.

ArionERP's project management module provides the structure to track progress and financials without sacrificing the flexibility your teams need. It integrates directly with tools like Jira, allowing you to link sprints, tasks, and story points to financial data, resource allocation, and client billing automatically. This creates a seamless flow of information from the development floor to the C-suite, providing unparalleled visibility into project velocity and profitability.

Forecast future hiring needs based on your sales pipeline and project backlog. Our AI-assisted allocation tools suggest the best-fit developers for new projects, helping you maximize billable utilization, balance workloads, and prevent team burnout.

Subscription & Recurring Billing
For SaaS and managed services, billing is the lifeblood of the business, but it's often a source of complexity and revenue leakage. ArionERP automates the entire quote-to-cash process for recurring revenue models. Easily manage complex pricing tiers, usage-based billing, promotions, and renewals. Our automated dunning management system helps recover failed payments, reducing involuntary churn. The system handles proration, co-terming, and mid-cycle upgrades or downgrades flawlessly, ensuring your billing is always accurate and timely.
Key Outcomes
- Eliminate Revenue Leakage: Ensure every customer is billed correctly and on time, capturing all revenue from upgrades and usage overages.
- Reduce Churn: Automate payment reminders and recovery processes to minimize churn due to payment failures.
- Increase Financial Agility: Quickly launch new pricing models and promotions without being constrained by your billing system's limitations.
Revenue Recognition (ASC 606 & IFRS 15)
Staying compliant with modern revenue recognition standards is a non-negotiable for software companies, but it can be a nightmare for your finance team. ArionERP automates complex revenue recognition calculations directly from your contracts and billing data. Our system correctly defers and recognizes revenue over the life of the service contract, handles multi-element arrangements, and provides a complete audit trail. Close your books faster and with confidence, knowing your financial statements are accurate and compliant.
Key Outcomes
- Guaranteed Compliance: Automate adherence to ASC 606 and IFRS 15 standards, reducing audit risk and manual effort.

Integrated CRM & Sales Management
A disconnected sales process leads to inaccurate forecasts and missed opportunities. ArionERP's integrated CRM provides a single view of the customer, from initial lead to ongoing support tickets. Your sales team can create accurate quotes based on real project data and resource availability. Once a deal is won, it seamlessly converts into a project and a billing schedule without manual data re-entry. This tight integration ensures a smooth handover from sales to delivery and gives leadership a clear, real-time view of the entire sales pipeline and its impact on future revenue and resource needs.
Key Outcomes
- Accurate Sales Forecasting: Base your forecasts on a pipeline that is directly linked to your capacity to deliver.
- Improved Sales-to-Delivery Handoff: Eliminate manual data entry and miscommunication between teams, leading to faster project kick-offs.

From Scaling Pains to Strategic Gains
See how we've helped IT and software companies like yours overcome operational hurdles and unlock new levels of growth and profitability.
ScaleUp SaaS Inc. Automates Complex Subscription Billing
Industry: B2B SaaS (MarTech)
Client Overview: ScaleUp SaaS Inc. is a rapidly growing marketing automation platform with over 5,000 customers. Their success created a massive operational challenge: their billing system, a combination of Stripe and complex spreadsheets, couldn't handle their tiered pricing, usage-based add-ons, and enterprise contracts. Their finance team spent weeks each month on manual invoicing and revenue recognition, leading to errors and delays.
"We were drowning in spreadsheets. ArionERP gave us our finance team back. We now have complete confidence in our numbers and can focus on strategic growth instead of manual reconciliation."
Key Challenges
- Inability to automate billing for usage-based and tiered plans.
- Significant revenue leakage from unbilled upgrades and overages.
- Manual, error-prone revenue recognition process risking non-compliance.
- Lack of real-time visibility into key SaaS metrics like MRR, ARR, and churn.
Our Solution
We implemented ArionERP's Subscription Billing and Advanced Financials modules. The solution included:
- A full migration of customer subscription data into a unified system.
- Configuration of automated billing rules for all pricing plans and add-ons.
- Implementation of the ASC 606 compliant revenue recognition engine.

InnovateDev Boosts Project Profitability by 22%
Industry: Custom Software Development
Client Overview: InnovateDev is a 75-person agency building complex web and mobile applications for enterprise clients. While they were excellent at delivering high-quality code, they struggled to understand the true profitability of their projects. They used separate tools for time tracking, project management, and accounting, making it impossible to get a real-time view of project costs versus budget.
"For the first time, we can see exactly where we make and lose money. ArionERP's project accounting is a game-changer for any service-based business. Our quotes are smarter, and our projects are more profitable."
Key Challenges
- No real-time visibility into project budgets vs. actuals.
- Inaccurate project quoting based on gut-feel rather than data.
- Developer time spent on manual timesheets and reporting.
- Difficulty forecasting future revenue and resource needs accurately.
Our Solution
We deployed ArionERP's Project Management and Financials modules, integrated with their existing Jira instance. The solution focused on:

- Building a quoting tool that uses historical project data to generate more accurate estimates.
- Streamlining the client invoicing process directly from project milestones.
ConsultIT Optimizes Consultant Utilization by 18%
Industry: IT Consulting
Client Overview: ConsultIT is a 200-consultant firm specializing in cloud migration and cybersecurity. Their biggest challenge was managing resource allocation. A team of project managers spent their days in "spreadsheet hell," trying to match consultant availability, skills, and project demands. This led to under-utilization of some consultants while others were overworked, and an inability to accurately forecast hiring needs.
"We moved from reactive scheduling to proactive talent management. ArionERP gives us a single source of truth for our most important asset: our people. We can now staff projects faster and smarter."
Key Challenges
- Low billable utilization rates due to inefficient scheduling.
- Lack of visibility into consultant skills and availability.
- Inability to forecast resource needs based on the sales pipeline.
- High administrative overhead for project staffing.
Our Solution
We implemented ArionERP's Resource Planning module, fully integrated with their Salesforce CRM. The project involved:
- Creating a central skills matrix and availability calendar for all consultants.
- Connecting the sales pipeline in Salesforce to resource demand forecasts in ArionERP.
- Using AI-assisted scheduling to recommend the best-fit consultants for new projects.
