Avoided custom SaaS metering API builds.

The Challenge

Aha! provides roadmap plans and product tools to thousands of enterprises. When launching on Microsoft Azure Marketplace, they needed to bill clients based on dynamic storage sizes and active user seats.

Azure's marketplace billing APIs required hourly usage updates. Writing a custom billing parser in-house to track usage, structure payload shapes, queue requests during network drops, and report data correctly was estimated to take 4 developers over 10 weeks of custom coding.

The Solution

Aha! integrated **Bunkertech's Billing & Metering Engine**. Instead of writing complex API reporting tools, Aha!'s servers simply push light webhook payloads to Bunkertech's API endpoint on every user action.

Bunkertech's engine handles the rest: it parses user storage logs, aggregates consumption data, formats payloads for Microsoft Azure billing schemas, caches payloads locally during disconnect events, and triggers automated uploads to Azure every hour.

"Azure consumption reporting is notoriously strict. Bunkertech took that burden off our developers' plates. We simply send a webhook on storage changes, and Bunkertech ensures the marketplace bills our clients with 100% accuracy."

By leveraging Bunkertech, Aha! skipped writing custom metering integrations entirely, saving $50,000 in upfront engineering fees. The billing platform successfully processes usage reporting for 10,000+ active enterprise subscriptions daily, maintaining perfect billing accuracy and data compliance on Microsoft Azure.
