Where RLM Comes From

RLM isn’t just a new product — it’s the result of Salesforce’s strategic acquisitions (SteelBrick, Vlocity, Salesforce Billing) combined with years of industry cloud innovation.

What makes it different?

It’s now natively built on Salesforce’s core data model, which means no more dealing with heavy managed packages — simplifying implementation, maintenance, and scalability.

Who RLM Is For

From growing startups to global enterprises, RLM is built to scale. It’s especially valuable for industries such as:

• High Tech
• Manufacturing
• Communications, Media & Technology (CMT)
• Consumer Business Services (CBS)

These sectors benefit from enterprise-grade features combined with an intuitive, user-friendly interface designed for real-world revenue workflows.

What RLM Does

RLM brings together traditionally siloed processes into one unified experience:

• Configure-Price-Quote (CPQ)
• Billing & Invoicing
• Subscription Management
• Contract Lifecycle Management

This end-to-end approach delivers full visibility across your revenue lifecycle, boosts automation, and reduces manual intervention — helping teams close deals and recognize revenue faster.

Admin-Friendly & Declarative

With RLM, business users gain more control. No longer do you need to rely exclusively on developers for every update. Key features include:

• Declarative Pricing Setup
• Visual Contract Management
• Revenue Model Adjustments
• Approval Workflow Automation

It’s built for speed and agility, giving RevOps and finance teams the tools they need to stay ahead.

Scalable, Flexible, Future-Ready

RLM grows as you grow. Whether you’re adding new product lines, expanding globally, or shifting to recurring revenue models — RLM adapts seamlessly without massive rework.

The platform reduces operational friction and empowers teams to focus on value creation instead of admin overhead.
