The first E2E Business Platform for B2B Software
Get ready for the first fully integrated business platform for B2B software providers.
The Software Engine automates the lifecycles of customer agreements, invoices and subscriptions based on your individual products, prices, and releases.
Put your focus back where it belongs — On your customers.
Stop Worrying About Delivery and Payment of Your Software
Selling B2B on-premise software means more than closing a deal. Someone has to draft the agreement, issue the invoice, chase the payment, create the license, ship the right release, and start all over at renewal.
In most small and mid-sized software companies, that someone is a person with a spreadsheet.
The Software Engine unites the entire revenue lifecycle of b2b software providers in a single platform. It was build from scratch based on the experience of developing the Subscription Engine, which is proven in production at a B2B software vendor, and extends the concept with license, release, and delivery management.
The Software Engine is made for on-premise installation in favor of full data sovereignty. It is bootstrapped with a small CRM and it's own Billing Engine that handles the full invoice lifecycle. You can start fully integrated or connect your third-party tools via APIs.
The result: a signed agreement turns into a billing action, payment triggers provisioning, and every renewal runs on schedule without anyone having to remember it while your customer receives email notifications for every important event.
Capabilities
- Quotes with cover letter and software license agreement attached.
- Product, price, and subscription management with a single source of truth.
- Automatic invoicing and dunning, triggered by agreement and subscription events.
- Release, deliverable, and license key management with payment-triggered provisioning.
- Fully automatic renewals with reminders, invoice dispatch, optional updates, and license renewal.

Ideal For
- B2B software providers selling on-premise licenses or subscriptions.
- Small and mid-sized ISVs whose quotes, invoices, and renewals still live in spreadsheets.
- Teams where license creation and software delivery depend on manual hand-offs.
- Vendors who want renewals to run predictably instead of reactively.
The Revenue Engine: Automated
Based on the Revenue Engine Framework, the Software Engine lives what the method preaches.
Quote & Agreement
Quote With Everything Attached
Quote your offering with a cover letter and the software license agreement attached, generated from standardized documents.
Single Source of Truth
Agreement terms populate customer, company, contacts, and subscription plan. Nothing is re-entered by hand.
Billing & Payment
Agreement Becomes Invoice
A signed agreement turns into a billing action immediately, for new subscriptions and recurring cycles alike.
Invoice Lifecycle & Dunning
Invoices are tracked from issuance to payment receipt, with email notifications and systematic follow-up on unpaid invoices.
Provisioning & Delivery
Payment-Triggered Provisioning
When payment arrives, an automatic provisioning task creates the license and prepares the delivery.
Releases & License Keys
Software packages and license keys are delivered with confidence. Releases inform license creation and update flows.
Automatic Renewal
Timed Reminders & Invoices
Every renewal runs on schedule, with timed reminders for your customer and invoice dispatch at the right moment.
Updates & License Renewal
Optional software updates and recurring license renewals follow the subscription automatically.
Platform Foundation
Small CRM Included
Customer, company, address, and contact data live next to their subscriptions, with CSV import and export at any time.
Installed On-Premise
Delivered as a cloud platform for on-premise installation, so your commercial data stays in your own environment.

Why RS Tech Hub
A platform engineered by someone who has run the revenue lifecycle of a software vendor by hand, and then automated it.
“Proven in production”
The Software Engine extends the Subscription Engine, which went into production use at a B2B software vendor and replaced spreadsheets and manual invoicing.
“One lifecycle, not five tools”
Agreements, subscriptions, invoices, licenses, and releases share one data model, so a status change in one stage triggers the next.
“Process first, software second”
Every lifecycle was mapped as a process before it was built, so the automation follows how software businesses actually work.
“Swiss quality with attractive conditions”
Direct collaboration with the person doing the work. No account managers, no inflated scope.
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about the Software Engine.
What is the Software Engine?
An end-to-end business platform for B2B software providers. It covers the entire revenue lifecycle from the first agreement to subscription renewal: products, prices, subscriptions, invoices, releases, deliverables, and licenses.
How does it relate to the Subscription Engine?
The Software Engine was built from scratch based on the experience of developing the Subscription Engine and extends it with license, release, and deliverable management.
Do I need a separate CRM or billing tool?
No. The platform bootstraps itself with a small CRM and a Billing Engine that handles the invoice lifecycle. You can start with what is included.
What happens after a customer signs an agreement?
The agreement triggers a billing action. When the payment arrives, an automatic provisioning task creates the subscription, the license and prepares the software package and license key for delivery.
How do renewals work?
Renewals run automatically on schedule. The platform sends timed renewal reminders, dispatches the invoice, optionally provides software updates, and renews the license once the renewal paymwent has been received.
