Powering the world’s best companies
High-touch for big deals. Digital for the rest.
Enterprise software companies like PTC, SUSE, and Sophos are moving renewals, add-ons, and low-AOV transactions to a low-touch digital path. Cleverbridge runs it end-to-end.
Before Cleverbridge
- Margin erosion in the long tail
High cost-to-serve (or partner take-rate) dilutes margin on routine transactions. - Manual quote-to-cash
Quotes, invoices, approvals, and manual follow-up slow down simple purchases. - Revenue leakage & churn
Small renewals get deprioritized, creating leakage and surprises at quarter close. - Limited visibility
Disconnected data hurts forecasting and makes performance harder to explain.
After Cleverbridge
- Better unit economics
A low-touch digital buying path reduces cost-to-serve and improves margin. - Faster time to cash
Digital checkout reduces purchase friction from quote to payment collection. - Higher net revenue retention (NRR)
Renewals move on time with clearer ownership and less churn risk. - AI-ready data
Cleaner transaction data improves reporting, forecasting, and optimization.
Cleverbridge helped us remove friction with a self-service portal and automated renewals. It’s become a one-stop experience for customers, improved quote-to-cash, and materially strengthened how we meet customers where they are.

Head of Product, Ashampoo
We see Cleverbridge as a key partner in enabling so much of what we can now do digitally — whether it's transacting worldwide, offering new sales models, or handling security and compliance. Software is now an integral part of our value proposition, not just an add-on to hardware.

FAQs
No. The goal isn’t to replace sales teams or channel partners. It’s to add a scalable digital path for routine transactions while keeping high-touch resources focused on high-value deals.
Start with transactions that don’t require high-touch selling: long-tail and low-AOV purchases, renewals and repeat purchases, and global transactions where tax/compliance and local payments add friction.
The approach is additive: digital commerce gives customers a choice in how they purchase while preserving the channel. Partners stay focused on strategic deals, and routine transactions move to a digital path with clear attribution rules (for example, credit for sourced or influenced deals).
Timelines vary by scope, but teams typically start with a contained use case (like renewals or a specific segment/region), prove it works, then expand.
Yes. Cleverbridge supports over 30 global payment methods and 59 transaction currencies across 240+ countries and territories. Checkouts are localized by default in 30 languages with the most relevant payment methods and fields based on buyer location.
