Services · Ecommerce development · AI meeting assistant subscription sites

Subscription platforms for Birmingham meeting assistants sold to offices, plants and partners.

Codeeo builds AI meeting assistant subscription website development Birmingham vendors rely on to sell, bill and renew without manual admin. That means a pricing site, a checkout and a customer account area for products that join calls, transcribe them and send out actions. Buyers in and around Birmingham include accountancy and law firms in the Colmore Business District, shared service and operations teams of national banks, and manufacturers across the West Midlands supply chain. Their purchasing habits differ widely, so the billing platform is designed around them from the start.

Your engineers own the assistant itself. We own the part that takes money: plans, payments, invoices, usage counting, licence changes and the reporting your finance lead needs at month end, all connected to your product through its API so the two never drift apart.

What the platform includes

Billing features shaped by how Birmingham customers buy.

A Colmore Row accountancy practice will buy a meeting assistant very differently from a component supplier in Solihull. The practice wants named seats for partners and managers, with summaries filed against client records. The manufacturer wants a few shared licences for supplier reviews and shift handover meetings, used by whoever is on duty. A bank operations centre wants volume pricing and an annual invoice. An IT support company in the Black Country wants to resell your product to its small business clients under its own account. We design the subscription platform so these models sit in one catalogue, priced and billed correctly, with the product reading the right limits for each. You decide which of the parts below belong in the first release, and the rest wait until customers ask for them.

Explain your project
  • Shared and floating licences

    Licences that belong to a site or team rather than a person, so a handover meeting on the night shift uses the same licence as the morning stand up. The platform counts concurrent use and tells the admin when a site regularly hits its limit and needs another licence.

    Plants and depots pay for real use, not headcount.

  • Volume tiers for large teams

    Price per seat falls at thresholds you set, applied automatically as an organisation grows. Operations centres and back offices adding staff in batches see the new rate on the next invoice without asking sales for a revised quote.

    Expansion without a renegotiation each time.

  • Reseller and partner billing

    Managed service providers sign up as partners, create accounts for their own clients, and receive one consolidated invoice at partner rates. Each client account still has its own limits and data separation, and the partner portal shows usage per client for their own recharging.

    A sales channel that bills itself.

  • Group billing across entities

    Firms with several companies or offices can hold one parent account with separate billing entities, each with its own VAT number, address and invoice recipients. Spend rolls up for the group finance director while every entity is invoiced correctly.

    Correct invoices for every company in a group.

  • Language add ons

    Birmingham businesses run meetings in English and often with clients and suppliers who speak Punjabi, Urdu, Bengali or Polish. If your product transcribes or translates extra languages, the platform sells them as add ons, shows them clearly on the pricing page and switches them on per workspace.

    Extra languages priced and provisioned cleanly.

  • Annual prepay and renewals

    Annual plans paid upfront by card or invoice, with renewal notices sent in good time, the renewal price stated before it applies and a clear route to change seats at renewal. Mid term additions are prorated to the renewal date so contracts stay aligned.

    Predictable renewals that finance teams accept.

  • Cancellations, refunds and credit notes

    Customers can cancel online in as few steps as it took to sign up. Refunds and credit notes are issued through the billing system, never edited on an old invoice, so your accounts and the customer's records always match.

    Clean exits that keep the books and the law straight.

  • Strong Customer Authentication at checkout

    Card sign ups pass 3D Secure once, then recurring and usage charges run as merchant initiated transactions. Apple Pay and Google Pay are offered where they reduce friction, and declined renewals start a polite recovery sequence instead of an immediate shutdown.

    Payments that succeed on the first try.

  • Usage reporting in the account area

    Admins see recorded hours, active seats and licence use by team or site, export them for internal recharging and set alerts before limits are reached. Reports draw on the same usage data that drives the invoice, so there is one set of numbers.

    Customers trust the bill because they can check it.

  • Pages that rank for buyers searching locally

    Product, integration and use case pages for the sectors you sell to, built with clean technical SEO, structured data and fast load times on mobile. A page for meeting assistants in manufacturing reads differently from one for accountancy practices, and each links straight to the plan that suits it.

    Search visitors land on a page that speaks to their sector.

Who this is for

Four Birmingham buyers, four billing set ups.

We start every project by asking who will sign the order and who will use the product, because in Birmingham those are often different people. A finance director approves the spend; a production manager or a practice manager uses it daily. The four situations below are the ones meeting assistant vendors here bring to us most, and each points to a different first release. Most vendors grow into more than one over time, so the catalogue and data model allow for that. Discovery tells us which of the four to build first, based on where your current revenue and pipeline actually come from.

01

Selling to professional firms in the city centre

Accountants, solicitors and consultants around Colmore Row and Brindleyplace want named seats, summaries attached to client files and invoices per office. They also ask early about confidentiality and where recordings are kept. We build a pricing page and trust documents that answer those questions, and billing that splits charges by practice or office where needed. Practice managers can then see which teams use the assistant most and move seats between offices themselves instead of raising a request with you.

Confidentiality answers come before price.

02

Selling into manufacturing and the automotive supply chain

Suppliers across Solihull, Coventry and the Black Country hold supplier reviews, quality meetings and shift handovers, often on shared devices. Floating licences, site based accounts and invoice billing against purchase orders matter more than card checkout. We model sites, licences and approval steps the way plant managers and buyers already think about them. Buyers in this sector often run a supplier approval process with insurance and security questions, so we add a documents area that holds those answers in one place.

03

Selling to large operations and back office teams

Banks and insurers run large operations in Birmingham, including HSBC UK's head office. These buyers expect volume tiers, single sign on, annual contracts and supplier onboarding paperwork. The platform has to handle a procurement led purchase without losing the self serve account area that day to day admins use.

Enterprise and self serve share one billing system.

04

Growing through IT partners

Many West Midlands small businesses buy software through their IT support provider. A partner programme with partner rates, consolidated invoices and a portal for creating client accounts turns those providers into a channel. We build it so partners cannot see each other's clients and your team can audit every account a partner creates. Commission or margin reports for each partner come from the same data, which removes another monthly spreadsheet.

Partner terms stay in configuration, not code.

Six stages to a working Birmingham subscription platform.

  1. 01Discovery by video callWe meet your founders, finance and engineering leads online to map buyers, plans, licence types, payment methods and the systems billing must talk to.
  2. 02Catalogue and rulesSeats, floating licences, tiers, partner rates, add ons and renewal rules are written into one catalogue specification before any screen is drawn.
  3. 03Design and copyPricing, checkout, account, partner portal and cancellation screens are designed, with copy that states recurring prices, terms and cancellation steps plainly.
  4. 04Build and connectThe site and billing platform are built and connected to your product API, payment provider, tax engine, CRM and accounting software.
  5. 05Scenario testingEvery billing case runs on test clocks: partner invoices, licence limits, mid term changes, failed payments, refunds and group entity invoicing.
  6. 06Launch and handoverWe launch, monitor the first billing runs, fix what real customers find and hand over documentation your team can maintain without us.

Questions Birmingham meeting assistant vendors ask.

With who buys, how they pay and what you meter.

Before design, we list your customer types, the licence models each needs, the payment methods they use and the systems billing must connect to. That produces a catalogue and a set of billing rules, which become the specification for the site and platform. Starting there avoids the common mistake of building a pretty pricing page that the billing system cannot actually charge for. Discovery usually takes a small number of video sessions with your founders, finance lead and lead engineer, and ends with a written scope you can take to any developer.
