CloudOlive is an online platform for Managed Service Providers to centrally manage and automatically reconcile all Cloud & SaaS vendor invoices against client billings, in one place.
Any vendor invoice can be ingested into CloudOlive, and immediately compared against client contracts. CloudRadial-exported data can be added, sorted, and managed into CloudOlive to further reconcile client billing in a precise way.
Please note that this integration requires manual input of CloudRadial data into CloudOlive. CloudOlive does not support API-based integration at this time.
How to Import CloudRadial Data into CloudOlive
