Make Lightyear Cost Oncharging Effortless with Rechargly

Lightyear is a cloud-based platform that automates purchasing and accounts payable processes, helping firms streamline workflows with greater efficiency and accuracy.

However, as firms grow, managing and oncharging Lightyear costs can become increasingly complex. Many firms absorb these costs into their service fees, but fluctuating software disbursement pricing makes this unpredictable.

If costs increase unexpectedly, profit margins shrink. On the other hand, manually tracking usage and updating invoices each month adds unnecessary admin work.

Without an efficient way to oncharge Lightyear costs, firms either lose revenue or waste valuable time on billing adjustments.

The Difficulty of Recovering LightYear Costs

Lightyear doesn’t use a fixed monthly fee per document. It operates on a credit-based system, where firms purchase credits upfront and use them to process documents. Pricing also varies based on subscription tiers and bulk credit discounts.

Because of this, firms face several challenges when passing these costs onto clients:

  • Absorbed costs reduce profitability – Firms that don’t pass on Lightyear’s costs risk shrinking margins as usage scales.
  • Variable usage complicates invoicing – Since Lightyear bills through a combination of monthly subscription fees and credit consumption, firms must regularly adjust client invoices to reflect actual usage.
  • Manual tracking is time-consuming – Reviewing subscription tiers and credit usage, then reconciling charges across multiple clients, adds unnecessary admin work.

Even with Lightyear’s automation, managing these software disbursements manually is inefficient until now.

Making LightYear Oncharging More Efficient

Rechargly automates Lightyear software disbursement, helping firms recharge costs to clients without manual tracking or adjustments. Instead of reviewing usage reports and updating invoices manually, firms can set up automated workflows to ensure clients are billed accurately based on their Lightyear credit usage.

With flexible billing options, firms can either pass on costs at Lightyear’s standard rates, set their own pricing structure, or adjust for any vendor discounts. Whether to retain them, share them, or use them to enhance profitability.

  • Client mapping – Charges are automatically assigned to the correct clients.

  • Automatic reconciliation – Payments are accurately recorded, ensuring records stay up to date.

Why Firms Are Oncharging Lightyear and Why You Should Too

Firms using Lightyear know it saves time on accounts payable. But those costs add up, and many are now oncharging them to clients instead of absorbing them. Why? Because Lightyear directly benefits clients by improving efficiency, reducing errors, and speeding up approvals. Passing on the cost makes sense.

The challenge is doing it efficiently. Manually tracking usage, adjusting invoices, and applying discounts takes time. That’s why firms are automating the Lightyear disbursement process with Rechargly.

Take Control of Your Lightyear Oncharging

Lightyear’s pricing is based on credits, with monthly plans and bulk buy options. Since credits  and overages are charged , oncharging clients correctly is key to protecting margins.

Rechargly ensures every Lightyear cost is accurately allocated, so you’re not left covering software expenses. Stop spending time on manual software disbursements. Start automating Lightyear oncharging with Rechargly today.
