StepFive

Revenue recognition built for Salesforce Revenue Cloud and Revenue Cloud Billing
Ask where a number came from. Understand what needs attention. Prepare your next recognition run. AI helps you work through it; StepFive's deterministic engine runs the calculations.
Before StepFive
You know how month end feels.
- Export the orders.
- Export the billing.
- Rebuild every contract in a spreadsheet.
- Tie it back by hand.
- Then check it again.
We built StepFive so recognition starts from the Revenue Cloud records you already trust.
AI, grounded in your records
Less searching.
More understanding.
One revenue question can send you through an order, an obligation, a schedule and a journal. StepFive brings the related evidence into the conversation.
Follow the calculation to its source. Investigate a discrepancy. Ask the engine to prepare a run for review. Your team decides what moves forward.
The engine allocated USD 25,761.48 to RoboControl Cloud, using its recorded standalone selling price and the order's transaction price.

Built for Revenue Cloud
Your deals have detail.
Your revenue should keep it.
Built for Revenue Cloud means working from its native selling and billing records: the lines, detail, asset history and usage periods that explain the deal.
StepFive connects that context to the revenue contract in your Salesforce org, where your team can review the source and the resulting allocation together.

Take an order for a robot, ten software seats and premium support, worth USD 146,760.00. StepFive allocates it on standalone selling price:
Standalone selling price
SSP. Already with the deal.
Apply your SSP policy during Revenue Cloud pricing. Keep the resolved amount, policy and explanation on the native quote and order lines.
When recognition begins, your team has the evidence behind the standalone selling price ready to review.
Your policy, applied consistently.
Use fixed amounts, a percentage of list price or an SSP range. The line records the basis, resolved value and policy outcome.
Visible from quote to order.
SSP evidence travels with the native transaction. The commercial price and the accounting basis each remain available on the line.
Usage products
Usage has its own revenue story.
Consumption brings its own amounts and usage periods. StepFive's usage workflow is built around Revenue Cloud Billing's liable summaries.
Connect the rated amount and period to the sold obligation, with source evidence available for review. Discuss your usage and commitment treatments in a walkthrough.
The amount. The period. The source.
Liable summaries hold the rated consumption charge. StepFive's usage capture keeps a snapshot of that source with the recognition evidence, so the amount can be traced back.
Tie-out
The totals have to tie.
StepFive matches the sold and billed totals to Revenue Cloud and Revenue Cloud Billing before recognition starts.
If a total is off by a cent, StepFive stops and names it.

AI
AI leads the investigation.
The engine does the math.
Salesforce Revenue Cloud and Revenue Cloud Billing provide the source records. StepFive calculates the revenue. AI helps you understand the results and prepare the next step.
AI
The assistant explains contract figures and discrepancies, and can prepare a deterministic calculation for review. It does not commit, approve or post revenue.
StepFive
Configured rules calculate allocations and recognition from your source records and the selected period. AI explains the returned result.
Your team
Your team reviews prepared calculations before committing them. A separate approver reviews journals; posting stays with people.
Revenue is never a guess.
Migration
Bring your open contracts with you.
Contracts still in flight in your current system move into the same org as your Revenue Cloud deals.
Revenue you already recognized comes across as an opening baseline, so none of it posts twice.

By design
Numbers you can check.
Every allocation adds back exactly to the transaction price.
Compare declared totals with native Revenue Cloud records before activation.
The person who approves a journal can never be the one who prepared it.
Recognition begins with the Revenue Cloud records your team works from.
