Revenue Optimization Engine's New Machine Learning Model Improves Prediction Accuracy

In a previous blog post, we talked about how Recurly uses machine learning to optimize subscription billing for our customers and prevent involuntary churn. As part of our goal to help our customers maximize their subscription revenue, we introduced the Revenue Optimization Engine in 2018. When a recurring transaction fails, this technology creates a customized retry schedule, so subsequent retries of that transaction have a higher chance of succeeding. This technology is driven by machine learning which relies on models based on Recurly's incredible breadth of historical subscription data which identifies factors that are highly correlated with successful transaction processing. Our machine learning model is the backbone of the Revenue Optimization Engine.
