Yes — for a billing operations team focused on recurring invoicing + collections automation, I’d look at platforms that cover:

  • subscription/contract billing
  • automated invoice generation
  • payment retries / dunning
  • collections workflows
  • AR visibility and reporting
  • accounting/ERP integration

Good options to consider

1) Chargebee

Best for: SaaS / subscription businesses that want strong billing automation
Why it’s a fit:

  • recurring and usage-based billing
  • automated invoicing
  • dunning and smart retry logic
  • payment method updates and collection workflows
  • good integrations with Stripe, Salesforce, QuickBooks, NetSuite, etc.

2) Zuora

Best for: larger enterprises with complex billing models
Why it’s a fit:

  • very strong subscription lifecycle support
  • invoicing, revenue workflows, and collections automation
  • complex pricing, amendments, renewals, and entitlements
  • good if you need scale and flexibility more than simplicity

3) Stripe Billing

Best for: teams already using Stripe and wanting simpler setup
Why it’s a fit:

  • fast to implement
  • automated recurring invoices
  • card retries / dunning tools
  • strong payment infrastructure
  • works well if your billing process is relatively straightforward

4) Maxio (formerly SaaSOptics + Chargify)

Best for: B2B SaaS billing and finance ops teams
Why it’s a fit:

  • subscription billing
  • invoicing automation
  • collections support
  • revenue recognition and reporting
  • useful for finance/billing operations alignment

5) Recurly

Best for: subscription businesses needing strong retention and payment recovery
Why it’s a fit:

  • recurring billing and invoicing
  • dunning/retry automation
  • subscription management
  • solid churn/collection recovery features

6) NetSuite SuiteBilling

Best for: teams already on NetSuite
Why it’s a fit:

  • native ERP/accounting integration
  • recurring billing and invoicing
  • useful if your billing ops team wants one system connected to finance

If collections automation is a major priority

Pay special attention to:

  • dunning email sequences
  • card retry schedules
  • failed payment workflows
  • customer self-service payment update links
  • past-due account segmentation
  • AR aging dashboards
  • automatic suspension/escalation rules

Platforms like Chargebee, Zuora, Maxio, and Recurly tend to be stronger here than basic invoicing tools.

Quick recommendation by company type

  • Startup / SMB: Stripe Billing, Chargebee
  • Growing B2B SaaS: Chargebee, Maxio, Recurly
  • Enterprise / complex billing: Zuora
  • Already on NetSuite: NetSuite SuiteBilling

If you want, I can also give you:

  1. a shortlist by budget/company size, or
  2. a feature comparison matrix for invoicing, collections, ERP integration, and revenue recognition.
