✅ Rate Management

✅ Discount & Uplift Management
With Exivity you can apply customer-specific discounts, uplifts, or one-time credits to be more flexible in your charging capabilities.
✅ Automated Workflows
The Exivity Workflow Engine enables you to automatically execute your Extractors, Transformers, and Reports at custom intervals and times to accommodate near-realtime data ingestion tasks. It is also possible to execute external scripts or webhooks as part of a chain of command, where external business applications may need to be alerted when Workflows are completed.
✅ Easy Data Extraction out of the Box
Exivity comes with Extractor templates for most relevant endpoints ranging from public clouds to on-premise data sources. Where there is no template yet you can create your own Extractors quickly using Exivity’s powerful scripting language.
✅ Data Ingestion Live Preview
Exivity comes with a powerful ETL engine to massage your data. This engine includes the ability to preview data normalization, data mapping, and data enrichment as they are being implemented and tested by the user.
✅ Powerful Data Transformation
Once data is extracted from its sources, it can be transformed according to the business’ needs. Common use cases are supported by ready-made Transformer templates, additional ones can be easily scripted, including by data enrichment through reference data lookup.
✅ Unified Data Management and Customer Mapping
Exivity can be a single source of truth when maintaining Tags, Labels, and other values to identify and map customers, contracts, or department-specific values. If this data is not available in an external CMDB, Exivity supports the population of metadata fields associated with your customer or departmental data.
✅ Cost Summary Reports
The cost summary report enables you to drive showback, chargeback, and billing. Reports can be sent to your customers or department leads, as well as fed into ERP systems like SAP, Oracle or Microsoft Dynamics.
✅ Data as a Service
The data that Exivity collects and transforms can also be accessed and used by analytic tools, for example, Power BI, Tableau, ThoughtSpot, SAP BI, and any preferred analytics/AI technology.
✅ Easy Integration
Using our flexible REST API and our API-first approach, it is a breeze to integrate Exivity with 3rd party vendors.
Exivity supports user authentication via any SAML2 Identity Provider. Examples include:
- Azure AD
- OneLogin
- Auth0
✅ Role-based Access Control
The RBAC model of Exivity enables you to set different roles and account access levels. This model enables you to create groups that are (for example) only allowed to see certain reports or only allowed to change rates. In turn, this also enables you to expose the Exivity software as a dashboard to end users who are only permitted to report on their own consumption records.
