Recurring revenue

Consumables, wear parts, service contracts: a large part of B2B revenue is the same thing again, on a schedule. Making that automatic is good for the customer (no stock-outs) and better for you (predictable revenue, no order-entry work). This area covers standing orders, subscriptions, and the reorder suggestions that come from usage data.

Start with Recurring revenue in B2B: the four mechanisms behave differently, and picking the wrong one is the expensive mistake here. Everything about goods builds on the saved basket described in Order lists and recurring carts — if buyers are not using saved lists yet, that is the first step, not this area.

Understand

• Recurring revenue in B2B — Replenishment, standing orders, subscriptions, service contracts — and how each behaves.
• How smart reordering works — Predicting the next order from consumption.

Set up

• Standing orders — Fixed cart, fixed interval.
• Subscriptions — Plans, terms, billing cycles.
• Configure reorder suggestions — Thresholds, channels, opt-in.

Work with it

• Manage standing orders — Pause, skip, change, end.
• Manage subscriptions — Renewals, changes, cancellations, dunning.
• Act on reorder suggestions — From suggestion to order.

Keep it healthy

• Recurring revenue health — Active, paused, churned, forecast.
• Common problems — Run did not fire, wrong price, stock-out on run day.

Where this connects

• Order lists and recurring carts — the saved basket a standing order runs.
• Build recurring revenue — the wider scenario, phased.
• Cut manual work — what automating the reorder is actually worth.
• Connect your ERP — where the resulting orders have to land.
