Challenge

ach product team had built its own billing process. Customers received up to eight separate invoices monthly. Finance created invoices manually, maintained tax logic in-house, and struggled to reconcile revenue with SAP, while SOX auditors wanted a clean trail

Solution

Solvimon replaced fragmented billing with a single system of record. Built by the team that scaled Adyen's billing to €1T+ volume, Solvimon consolidates revenue streams, handles tax compliance, and feeds clean data to SAP for audit. New monetization initiatives ship faster. Finance stops chasing spreadsheets.

FareHarbor didn't have one billing problem. They had as many billing problems as they had revenue streams.

Over a decade, each new product (API fees, processing fees, booking fees) came with its own way of charging customers. Some teams automated their piece. Others shipped spreadsheets and manual steps.

The result: some customers receiving up to eight different invoices a month, all from the same supplier.

The fragmentation ran deeper than customer confusion. Finance was creating invoices manually. Product teams were maintaining tax logic in-house and sometimes getting it wrong. When SOX compliance was required, auditors wanted a centralized trail. Instead, they got scattered reports and "so much pain".

Solution

FareHarbor evaluated Stripe Invoicing which was considered to be too expensive, too limited for multiple entities and EU e-invoicing requirements. Continuing to build in-house wasn't viable either. Solvimon was built by the team that scaled Adyen's billing engine to €1T+ in payment volume. That pedigree meant we understood their complexity: hybrid pricing across products, tax compliance across jurisdictions, and the need for a single audit-ready source of truth.

The implementation started with API fees, with processing fees following. Even early on, wins were immediate: credit notes that used to be manual now generate directly in Solvimon. A built-in grace period catches issues before invoices finalize. Product teams no longer maintain tax logic. Engineers finally have a billing API with real documentation.

"Every single issue is resolved within 24 hours. Even on January 2nd, when nothing else was working, Solvimon helped us figure out discrepancies before we touched a single credit note."

Impact

Eight invoices per customer are becoming one. Credit notes are auto-generated. Tax logic moved from product teams to Solvimon. Finance can reconcile revenue with SAP and close books without chasing teams across the company.

More importantly: new monetization initiatives ship faster. The billing infrastructure that held them back is now the infrastructure that lets them grow.
