Real-time Salesforce ↔ BillingPlatform integration. Native. Bi-directional. No middleware.
BP Stream is a Salesforce-native integration, built by Ravus, that delivers real-time, bi-directional connectivity between Salesforce and BillingPlatform — including Salesforce with Nue.io — without external middleware or custom code.
Unify quote-to-cash and billing operations inside Salesforce, reduce reconciliation effort, and keep Sales, RevOps, and Finance aligned with a single source of truth for customers, subscriptions, invoices, and payments.
A product that came out of the consulting work.
Ravus is a consulting firm. We don't usually build software. We built BP Stream because every BillingPlatform implementation we delivered ran into the same Salesforce integration problem — and we kept solving it the same way, project after project.
After enough of those projects, the pattern became clear. The integration didn't need to be custom every time. It needed to be a Salesforce-native product, designed by people who'd seen the failure modes, configured to handle the real edge cases, and packaged so that the next BillingPlatform customer didn't have to pay to discover the same lessons.
BP Stream is that product. It's the codified version of the integration architecture our practitioners had already proved at scale across multiple enterprise implementations — released as a packaged solution rather than rebuilt from scratch on every engagement.
A note on platform neutrality. Ravus advises across BillingPlatform, Nue, and Stripe — and we make platform recommendations based on what fits the business, not on what generates partner revenue. BP Stream is built specifically for BillingPlatform customers because that's the integration problem we kept solving. If you haven't selected a billing platform yet, our advisory team can help you make that decision first — independently, with no financial stake in which platform you choose. Once you've decided on BillingPlatform, BP Stream is one of the tools that makes the rest of the work easier.
The integration didn't need to be custom every time. It needed to be a Salesforce-native product, designed by people who'd seen the failure modes.
What BP Stream is - and what it isn't.
Salesforce-native by design
BP Stream operates inside Salesforce. No external runtime to host. No middleware tier to monitor. Your Salesforce admins manage the integration the same way they manage everything else in the platform — using Salesforce permissions, Salesforce audit logs, and Salesforce governance.Real-time, bi-directional sync
Subscription changes in Salesforce update billing in BillingPlatform. Invoice and payment status from BillingPlatform appear back in Salesforce. Sales sees what Finance sees, in the system they're already in, without nightly batch jobs or stale reports.No middleware.
No custom code.
No iPaaS license to renew. No custom API logic to test every time a Salesforce or BillingPlatform release drops. The integration is a configured product, not a code project — which means it's maintained the way packaged software is maintained, not the way custom builds are.How it works - the technical architecture
Salesforce-native integration layer
BP Stream is packaged and deployed inside Salesforce as a managed package. There's no separate hosted service, no VPC peering to configure, no external service account to provision. The integration runs on Salesforce platform resources and inherits Salesforce's security model.Event-driven, real-time connectivity
Sync happens on event triggers — a closed opportunity, a contract change, an invoice generation event in BillingPlatform — not on a nightly batch schedule. Data moves between systems within seconds of the underlying business event, which means Sales and Finance see the same state of the world at the same time.Bi-directional lifecycle visibility
Operational changes from Salesforce push downstream to BillingPlatform. Billing outcomes — invoice status, payment status, dunning state, adjustments — flow back into Salesforce. The reporting that used to require a join across two systems happens natively in either one.How it works
Salesforce ↔ BP Stream ↔ BillingPlatform
BP Stream lives inside Salesforce, keeping revenue operations connected without adding middleware complexity.
Salesforce Platform
CPQ, lifecycle, and revenue workflows inside Salesforce.
Native Salesforce Application
- Data mapping
- Event orchestration
- Transform & validate
- Real-time sync
Enterprise Billing & Revenue Lifecycle
- Product catalog
- Rating & usage
- Billing & invoicing
- Payments & collections
- Revenue recognition
What BP Stream does
Real-time sync across the quote-to-cash lifecycle
- Customer and account records kept aligned across Salesforce and BillingPlatform
- Subscription, contract, and billing schedule changes propagated as they happen
- Invoice and payment status reflected back in Salesforce, visible to the teams that need it
Bi-directional updates
- Operational changes from Salesforce push downstream to BillingPlatform
- Billing outcomes flow back into Salesforce — invoice status, payment status, adjustments, dunning state
- Closes the reporting loop without a separate analytics layer
Standardized object mapping
- Pre-defined mappings between core Salesforce objects (Account, Contract, Opportunity, Order) and their BillingPlatform equivalents
- Configurable field-level rules for cases where the standard mapping needs adjustment
- Audit log of every sync transaction, queryable from Salesforce for Finance and RevOps controls
Built for the volumes BillingPlatform customers actually have
- Designed for the transaction volumes typical of BillingPlatform enterprise customers — not theoretical maximums, the volumes Ravus engineers actually see
- Error handling, retry logic, and reconciliation tooling included — not features to build later
- Salesforce and BillingPlatform platform updates handled by BP Stream releases, not by your team
BP Stream vs. iPaaS vs. Custom Code
BP Stream ⋅ Salesforce-native, built by Ravus
Best for: Teams that want real-time, bi-directional connectivity between Salesforce (including Salesforce + Nue.io) and BillingPlatform without external middleware or custom code.
- Native to Salesforce — cleaner architecture, admin governance
- Real-time, bi-directional sync designed for quote-to-cash lifecycles
- No external iPaaS licensing or separate runtime to manage
- No custom code to build, test, and maintain
- Faster time-to-value than custom or middleware-led approaches
iPaaS · MuleSoft, Boomi, Workato
Best for: Organizations standardizing integrations across many systems and willing to operate a dedicated integration platform.
- Strong for multi-application orchestration and complex routing across more than two systems
- Requires additional platform licensing, tooling, and operational ownership
- Can add latency vs. native, event-driven approaches depending on design
- Integration logic and monitoring live outside Salesforce, increasing operational complexity
- Still frequently involves custom development inside the iPaaS layer
Custom code · built in-house
Best for: Highly unique requirements and teams with internal capacity to continuously own and evolve integration code.
- Maximum flexibility — at the cost of engineering time and ongoing support
- Higher risk of brittle integrations when APIs, objects, or business processes change
- Requires ongoing effort for testing, monitoring, retries, error handling, and security
- Long-term dependency on internal knowledge and documentation quality
- Typically the highest total cost of ownership over time
Business Outcomes
Bookings become billing-ready records the same day
The lag between deal close in Salesforce and invoice-ready state in BillingPlatform compresses from days or weeks to minutes. Sales doesn't wait on Finance to chase down the deal. Finance doesn't wait on Sales to file the paperwork.
The reconciliation work goes away
The hours Finance spends each close period reconciling Salesforce against BillingPlatform — chasing mismatched customer records, missing line items, out-of-sync subscription states — don't need to happen if the two systems were never out of sync to begin with. Most teams recover several days of Finance time per month within the first quarter of go-live.
Customers stop noticing the integration
The visible failure modes — wrong invoice amounts, missing line items, accounts marked active in Salesforce but suspended in billing — are usually integration failures wearing customer-experience disguises. When the integration runs reliably in real time, the customer-facing artifacts get reliable too. Dispute volume drops. Resolution time drops with it.
Pipeline-to-revenue reporting in one place
Because billing outcomes flow back into Salesforce in real time, the reporting that used to require a join across two systems happens in Salesforce reports and dashboards natively. Pipeline-to-revenue conversion analysis, customer LTV, dunning impact on retention — all queryable without pulling Finance into the analytics conversation.
Common Use Cases
SaaS subscription billing
Subscription changes — upgrades, downgrades, renewals, add-ons, mid-term modifications — sync from Salesforce to BillingPlatform as they happen. The customer's billing record always matches their current contract state.
Multi-entity revenue operations
Customers that sell through multiple legal entities, regions, or business units typically have parallel hierarchies in Salesforce and BillingPlatform that must stay reconciled. BP Stream supports the multi-entity mapping as a configured feature, not a custom build.
Usage-based and hybrid pricing models
When pricing combines subscription with consumption or other usage signals, the contract structure on the Salesforce side and the rating engine configuration on the BillingPlatform side need to stay in lockstep. BP Stream handles the rate-card and metering coordination as part of the sync.
Salesforce + Nue.io + BillingPlatform
For customers using Nue.io for CPQ and quoting on top of Salesforce, BP Stream connects the full Nue → Salesforce → BillingPlatform path natively. No separate integration between Nue and BillingPlatform required.
Where BP Stream isn't the right fit
Three situations where BP Stream isn't what you need:
- You haven't selected a billing platform yet. If billing platform selection is still open, that decision should come first — and we'd advise you against letting an integration product influence it. Our advisory team can help you make the platform decision independently of any product we sell.
- You're standardizing on iPaaS across many systems. If your IT organization has committed to a single integration platform (MuleSoft, Boomi, Workato) and you're running everything through it for governance reasons, BP Stream's value proposition shrinks. The packaged-native model competes with, rather than complements, an iPaaS-first architecture.
- Your Salesforce-to-BillingPlatform requirements are genuinely unique. BP Stream handles the patterns that recur across BillingPlatform customers. If your requirements are exotic enough that the standard object mappings don't apply and you can't get there with configuration, custom code may be the honest answer.
If you're not sure which situation describes you, that's exactly the conversation our team is set up to have. Reach out — the honest assessment is free.

Controlled sync rules
Sync behavior is configured, not hard-coded. RevOps and Finance Operations can define which objects sync in which direction, what events trigger updates, and how conflicts get resolved — without engineering involvement. Changes to sync logic don't require a release cycle.
