Billing & Reporting

We help you understand your data

Snowdrop routinely collects and analyses API usage data, and we can return insights into that data to inform ongoing operations.

We store all API related data from not only Google but our own systems, and offer views into that data along with recommendations and analysis.

The generation of usage reports that help individual responsibility centres to better visualise and manage their own application areas is a fundamental part of this – we can set up at the outset to focus on granular cost control or assist in moving to this model over time in the least disruptive way.

Cloud: Billing & Reporting

Monitor charges with budget alerts

Specialised usage reporting for each business

Where our customers consume many APIs, such as those from the Google Cloud or Maps platforms, we can consolidate the charging for individual responsibility centres and drive cost and usage information across all services consumed. Snowdrop also regularly runs ‘Early Warning’ reporting to help our customers to identify anomalies in usage or the identification of unexpected cost events. This use of information has saved our customers from cost overrun while giving re-assurance that the usage of any cloud capabilities can be seen and acted upon really quickly.
