When RightNow Media, the leading provider of faith-based videos, decided to spread its wings and venture into international territories, little did they know that their homegrown billing system would become one of their biggest hurdles. Managing a subscription-based model is challenging enough, but scaling it across borders requires next-level navigation.
The global expansion roadblock
RightNow Media arrived at a pivotal moment in its business journey. With a vision to impact lives worldwide, the internal subscription management and billing platform faced a hurdle – it couldn’t scale for the global arena. Ellen Towery, the VP of Finance and Operations, shed light on the issue with remarkable clarity. She pointed out that while the system excelled with domestic customers, international expansion plans revealed inflexibility. Challenges included managing various currencies, payment gateways, and language barriers.
