Competitor comparison
How does DigitalRoute compare to the competition?
There are many ways to manage service usage data, but DigitalRoute provides the only battle-proven solution on the market today. Take a closer look at how we stack up to other solutions.
DigitalRoute vs. iPaaS integration tools
When you charge customers based on usage, you must aggregate metering data over time. That requires state management, something most iPaaS solutions cannot do.
DigitalRoute vs. ETL integration tools
ETLs are designed for bulk data transfer scenarios, such as disaster recovery, database backups and data warehousing. But adapting them for usage billing can come at a high cost.
DigitalRoute vs. homegrown solution
A homegrown solution for usage billing may seem fast and low-cost at first, but over time, it can take a lot of work to maintain and can hinder your potential to scale.
Data automation
Automate data management processes
DigitalRoute Usage Engine is purpose-built to tackle the data challenges associated with usage-based billing. This means the IT team has more time for strategic work that creates value for your business.
DigitalRoute Usage Engine captures, validates, aggregates, and enriches usage data with high levels of automation. DigitalRoute can process any volume of data and deliver clean records to operational, business and finance systems, in real time.
Data for billing
Increase billing efficiency and accuracy
Offering fair and transparent pricing can be a key differentiator for software businesses. DigitalRoute provides an ideal complement to enterprise-grade billing solutions where flexibility, scalability and full auditability are critical.
With built-in error correction and an audit trail, DigitalRoute ensures that no data, and therefore no revenue is lost. In addition to processing data, the solution can also send data back to devices and systems to support stronger customer relationships.
Data for CX
Improve data visibility to support service design
Digitalization can bring you closer to your customers, but only if you can understand exactly how people are using your services. DigitalRoute delivers a golden record of metering data that helps predict user behavior, while supporting cross-selling and product development.
DigitalRoute Usage Engine provides clean “fuel” to power product-led growth. With a foundation of more accurate and detailed insights into the customer, utilities can take new offerings to market faster and monetize services more effectively.
Data for growth

Like so many industries, ecosystems are the future of utilities. In order to deliver the customizable service bundles that customers want, utilities are working with a wider array of specialized partners.
