Overview
Tensoft RCM (Revenue Cycle Management) is a revenue recognition and contract management application built by Tensoft for companies whose billing and recognized revenue do not move in lockstep. It maintains a hierarchical contracts repository and a rules-based revenue accounting sub-ledger that automates deferred revenue schedules, replacing the spreadsheets and manual double-entry that finance teams otherwise use to track multi-element arrangements. The product is designed around recurring, deferred, and milestone-driven revenue, and is most commonly deployed by high-tech, semiconductor, software, and subscription/SaaS businesses.
The solution manages a range of billing and recognition models in a single repository, including perpetual licenses, renewals, subscriptions, milestone-based arrangements, and event- and usage-based billing. It consolidates sales transactions captured across ERP, CRM, professional services automation, e-commerce, and SaaS systems, pulling in fair-value data so revenue can be allocated and recognized correctly. Audit support is a core focus: approval controls, transaction drill-downs, compliance allocations, and complete change history are built in to make month-end close faster and external audits less painful. The product supports U.S. GAAP and IFRS, and Tensoft positions it around the ASC 606 / IFRS 15 five-step model, including the ability to update a contract's transaction price automatically when estimates change so variable consideration and contract modifications are not missed.
Tensoft RCM connects to the full Microsoft Dynamics ERP portfolio — Business Central, GP, NAV, and AX — whether deployed on-premise, third-party hosted, or as a cloud subscription, and integrates with Power BI for reporting. It is delivered as a subscription service through Tensoft's On Demand integration layer. In 2018 Tensoft renamed the RCM product line to Tensoft Revenue Lens; the underlying revenue recognition and contract management capabilities are the same, and current Revenue Lens packaging is offered in Express, Pro, and Enterprise tiers (contract management is included in the Enterprise tier).
