How Direct Bill Partners run on C3

Nick Gallo, VP Finance at B&R Business Solutions LLC
As a Direct CSP, we needed a tool to manage all of our license and Azure subscriptions and the associated pricing. C3 understood our issues from the start and gave us a solution that lets us focus on sales while their team handles Microsoft’s ever-changing billing, saving us countless hours.”

Lisa Parris, COO at E|Consortium
As Microsoft Direct CSPs, we tried several billing and portal products that were overly complex and unintuitive, until we found Spektra’s C3. It does exactly what we need: accurate billing, accounting integration, and easy subscription management, backed by the best support.”

Laco Vosika, Co-Founder at Becloudsmart
With business spread across multiple countries, onboarding a new product to manage customers is tricky. Choosing C3 for Tier-1 billing and provisioning was undoubtedly the best call: a true end-to-end Modern Partner experience, tightly integrated with our entire business.”

Tõnis Tikerpäe, Service Manager at Primend OÜ
C3 helped us establish our own cloud marketplace portal, transacting directly with Partner Center while our clients manage their licenses themselves. We love the simplicity of the product and the promptness of the Spektra team, and it’s great value for the features it offers.”
