Order-to-cash consulting and customer lifecycle management services
Develop your customer lifecycle strategy, deliver end-to-end order-to-cash (O2C) process optimisation,
and maximise customer lifetime value, with order-to-cash consulting services that balance technical
implementation with comprehensive change management.
In a world increasingly driven by digital-first experiences and dynamic pricing models, the way companies manage their customer relationships has fundamentally changed. The focus is no longer on a single transaction but on maximising customer lifetime value. Navigating this landscape requires a holistic approach to the entire customer lifecycle, from initial engagement to long-term retention, and a streamlined lead-to-cash process.
Many companies, however, struggle with legacy systems, inconsistent processes, and siloed teams that result in incomplete, fragmented views of their customers. Operating without this clarity across marketing, sales, customer service, and finance can result in increased customer churn, higher operational costs, missed revenue opportunities, and frustrated employees. Companies that don’t address these challenges risk losing market share to more agile competitors who can move past one-size-fits-all services, customer experiences (CX), and pricing.
That’s where Clarasys comes in. In collaboration with your organisation, we can transform your order-to-cash processes, creating seamless, efficient, and profitable customer journeys. Our methodology is pragmatic and results-oriented, and balances technical implementation with operational change management to make sure your team is equipped for success. Instead of a "big bang" approach, we focus on delivering incremental value using an agile implementation process. This reduces risk, builds momentum, and demonstrates value early in the journey.
Our deep expertise in order-to-cash consulting and customer lifecycle management spans marketing, sales, billing, and service functions, allowing us to connect the dots for your entire customer journey. This comprehensive view, combined with our specialisation in complex areas like subscription billing and CRM transformation, can unlock unique competitive advantages for your organisation.

How we can help
Build a revenue growth engine
Ambitious growth targets can feel out of reach when legacy systems, fractured data and silos between marketing, sales, and finance are slowing you down. To overcome these challenges, we help you go beyond a simple lead-to-cash process map. We bring together expertise in process optimisation, technology integration, change management, and commercial strategy to transform your entire lead-to-cash journey.
By aligning stakeholders across departments and streamlining workflows across your CRM, billing, and other financial platforms, we remove the bottlenecks that hinder performance. The result is a finely-tuned and scalable operation that gives you a reliable path to revenue growth and the agility to capture new market opportunities faster.
Unlock recurring revenue streams
The market is demanding flexible subscription and consumption-based models, but often legacy infrastructure and manual hand-offs between quote, contract, and invoicing hold you back. Leveraging our deep expertise in the world’s leading subscription billing platforms and our understanding of revenue recognition standards, we can partner with you to re-engineer your commercial functions to launch and scale a subscription business model. This holistic transformation aligns your technology, financial processes, and CX to create, capture, and deliver value over the long term, unlocking the recurring revenue streams essential for sustainable growth.
Embed customer-centric thinking
Every customer interaction is a chance to build loyalty or create frustration. Building genuine customer loyalty starts with engineering a seamless journey, from their perspective. This is accomplished by meticulously designing processes that balance intuitive self-service with timely, high-touch support where it matters most. By removing friction from their path and ensuring every touchpoint is personalised and consistent, you can exceed customer expectations and create advocates for your brand, driving higher satisfaction, improving retention, and increasing lifetime value. Combining CX design with our technical expertise in systems integration, our consultants can help you create a single, unified view of your customer and promote customer-centricity everywhere from your product design to your customer support contact centres.
Scale globally
Expanding into new territories introduces a maze of regulatory, tax, and compliance challenges that can halt growth in its tracks. Each new market brings unique legal requirements and customer expectations, from revenue recognition and data protection to local payment preferences. Our approach builds a resilient, global commercial framework that is designed to deal with this complexity. By embedding compliance into the core of your technology and processes from the start, we can help you handle multi-currency transactions, localised tax rules, and diverse data privacy laws. This provides the confidence and operational foundation to enter new markets quickly, minimise risk, and deliver a seamless, localised experience everywhere you operate.
Streamline operations and reduce costs
Your teams are talented and driven, but are they spending too much time fighting fires, navigating clunky workarounds, and manually reconciling data? This operational drag not only drives up costs but also stifles innovation. Drawing on our vendor-agnostic expertise, we can help you design new workflows, then select and implement the right platforms to create a cohesive architecture that serves your people. This frees your teams to focus on high-value work, lowers your cost-to-serve, and equips your leaders with the clear, real-time data needed to outmanoeuvre the competition.
