Purpose

Phin has partnered with Gradient MSP to make billing reconciliation and accountability easy!

Currently, Phin bills our MSP clients on the first of each month based on the utilization of our product for each of the connected companies. As part of this process, we send a breakdown of usage per company to a Partner admin via email. And that’s it.

This is where Gradient MSP steps in! Gradient MSP connects to your PSA (see list of available PSAs here: https://www.meetgradient.com/billing-reconciliation) and helps manage your billing reconciliation process. Once enabled, the Phin/Gradient MSP integration will send accurate billing numbers to Gradient MSP’s Billing Dashboard. Here you can view Phin’s usage metrics for the previous month and then forward this data directly to your PSA!

“No tab chaos. No revenue left on the table. Just getting paid for everything you do – and without spending days to figure it out” (Gradient MSP).

Billing Reconciliation

Once the integration is enabled, Phin will sync its billing data on the first of every month. For every company mapped in Gradient, Phin will send the count of billable users to Gradient MSP. From the billing portal in Gradient MSP, you will be able to see the new billing numbers for each company. You can expect the usage numbers to be accurate for the previous month’s data starting the first day of the month at 8 AM EST.

Guide

In this guide, we will walk through how to set up the Phin/Gradient MSP integration. For this process you will need to first onboard with Gradient MSP (https://www.meetgradient.com/).

Setting Up Gradient

To begin, log in to Gradient MSPs application here. Next head over to the integrations page and find the Phin integration card. Click “Connect” to begin the set up process.

On this integration page, Gradient MSP will generate for you a Partner API Key. The Partner API Key will allow Phin to send data to Gradient MSP on your behalf. Once generated, head over to Phin. From your Partner Dashboard, you can go to the Partner Integrations page.
