No deadlines, no last-minute rush, no hunting for missing payouts in your books\u2014sounds like a holiday miracle, right? For us, it was the gift of 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By syncing <strong>over 26 million transactions (totaling a massive $10 billion!)<\/strong>, we saved businesses the equivalent of those days\u2014enough time to focus on growth or enjoy the ultimate holiday binge-watching marathon. Think every episode of <em>Friends<\/em>, <em>The Office<\/em>, and <em>Game of Thrones<\/em>, back-to-back\u2026 not once, not twice, but around <em>1,200 times<\/em>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, what made it possible? Much like our coffee machine, which fueled countless moments of inspiration and collaboration, Synder\u2019s journey through 2024 was powered by resilience and innovation. Let&#8217;s rewind this year and review the highlights that kept us all moving forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"1-core-features-updates\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>#1. Core features updates<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This year, we set our sights on two major goals: rolling out our newest star, Synder RevRec and supercharging the Summary sync mode.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"synder-revrec-release\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Synder RevRec release&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">2024 marked a significant milestone for Synder with the launch of our newest product, <a href=\"https:\/\/synder.com\/industry\/revenue-recognition\/\"><strong>Synder RevRec<\/strong><\/a>. This automated tool simplifies GAAP-compliant revenue recognition by ensuring subscription revenue is recognized on the income statement when obligations are fulfilled, not when cash is received. With Synder RevRec, you gain a clear, month-by-month breakdown of deferred and recognized revenue, so you always know exactly where you stand.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here\u2019s a look at some of the key features Synder RevRec brings to the table:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Accurate subscription data sync to books:<\/strong> Automatically track Stripe subscription changes and create recognition schedules with ease. Not using Stripe? No problem\u2014upload Excel files from any platform into the RevRec module for detailed and accurate revenue recognition.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Revenue recognition for Stripe one-time invoices: <\/strong>Assign service periods for one-time Stripe invoices, ensuring precise revenue recognition for each transaction.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Revenue recognition for Summary sync:<\/strong> Enhance your financial analysis with revenue recognition capabilities now available in the Summary sync mode, providing a more comprehensive view of your financials.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Waterfall by Month Report:<\/strong> Visualize how amounts booked in one month will be recognized over subsequent months with this new report, offering deeper insights into your revenue flow.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201c<em>Bringing Synder RevRec to life wasn\u2019t easy, but we always believed in the difference it could make for subscription-based businesses. Looking back on all the hard work, the best reward is the positive feedback we\u2019ve already got.
