Ensure subscription excellence, and scale your way | Piper McKenzie - Upodi by Visma

In this episode of the Tekpon SaaS Podcast, host Cristian Dina interviews Piper McKenzie, the head of marketing at Upodi, a subscription management software company recently acquired by Visma.

Piper explains that Upodi is a fully automated subscription management solution designed to assist companies in scaling a subscription business model. The software addresses the challenges of managing high volumes of subscriptions across different markets, currencies, and tax laws, as well as automating processes such as subscription sign-ups, payment information changes, and dunning for failed payments.
