Automate Usage Metering Across Every Marketplace

Stop building custom metering infrastructure for each cloud. Automatum provides a unified metering API that reports usage to AWS, Azure, and GCP marketplaces automatically, with full billing reconciliation.

The Challenge

Why metering is so painful

Three Different Metering APIs

AWS, Azure, and GCP each have their own metering API with different formats, batching rules, retry logic, and error handling. Building and maintaining three integrations is expensive.

Revenue Leakage

Missed metering records mean missed revenue. If your metering system drops usage events or fails to report within the cloud's time window, you cannot bill for that consumption.

Billing Reconciliation Chaos

Without a unified view, reconciling what was metered, what was billed by the cloud, and what was disbursed to you becomes a monthly nightmare involving spreadsheets and guesswork.

How It Works

From usage event to revenue automatically

01

Instrument Your App

Send usage events to Automatum's single metering API. Define your dimensions (API calls, users, storage, compute hours) and pricing tiers once.

02

Aggregate & Validate

Automatum aggregates usage data, applies your pricing rules, validates against each cloud's metering requirements, and queues for submission.

03

Report to Clouds

Usage is automatically reported to AWS Marketplace Metering Service, Azure Metered Billing API, and GCP Service Control API within each cloud's required time window.

04

Reconcile & Report

Track every usage record from ingestion to cloud billing to disbursement. Get real-time revenue dashboards and automated reconciliation alerts.

Key Features

Metering that just works

Usage-Based Pricing

Support for every usage model: pay-per-API-call, per-user, per-GB, per-compute-hour, tiered pricing, and custom dimensions. Configure once, meter everywhere.

Unified Metering API

One API endpoint to report usage across all three clouds. Automatum handles the translation, batching, and submission to each cloud's native metering service.

Consumption Tracking

Real-time dashboards showing usage by customer, dimension, and cloud. Set alerts for unusual consumption patterns, overages, or approaching commitment thresholds.

Overage Handling

Automatically handle overage billing when customers exceed their committed usage. Configure overage rates, grace periods, and customer notifications per cloud.

Billing Reconciliation

Automated reconciliation between what you metered, what each cloud billed, and what was disbursed to your account. Flag discrepancies before they become problems.

Revenue Reporting

Consolidated revenue reports across all clouds. Break down by customer, product, dimension, and time period. Export to your finance systems or build custom dashboards.

Before & After

DIY metering vs. Automatum

Without Automatum

The DIY Way

  • Build and maintain three separate metering integrations
  • Engineering team owns metering reliability and uptime
  • Revenue leakage from missed or failed usage reports
  • Manual spreadsheet reconciliation every month
  • No visibility into consumption patterns until billing cycle ends
  • Custom code needed for every new pricing dimension
With Automatum

The Automated Way

  • One API endpoint handles metering for all three clouds
  • 99.9% metering reliability with automatic retry and failover
  • Zero revenue leakage with guaranteed usage event delivery
  • Automated reconciliation with discrepancy alerting
  • Real-time consumption dashboards for every customer
  • Add new pricing dimensions through configuration, no code
