How the Volume Tracking for Contracted Accounts works

Step‑by‑Step Instructions

  1. Log into your ActiveProspect Account and navigate to the Billing page.
  2. Click on the “Volume Tracking” tab to open the Volume Summary dashboard.
  3. Review the summary table that displays your current volume usage, allotments, and overage indicators (red icons appear when you’ve met or exceeded your allotment).
  4. Drill down by clicking on a specific service name or the eye icon to view detailed usage history and daily breakdown.
  5. Examine the forecasting chart that calculates your expected monthly volume based on your average daily usage over the last 7 days multiplied by the remaining days in the month.
  6. For accounts with managed structures, observe the parent-child aggregation, where the parent account consolidates volume data from all linked child accounts.

Expected Result:
You will see an interactive dashboard with detailed volume usage summaries, forecast projections, overage alerts, and aggregated views for parent-child relationships, enabling you to monitor and manage contracted volume effectively.


Validation & Monitoring (optional)

  • Test the Setup: Verify that the Volume Summary matches the expected features and allotments based on your contract.
  • Where to Monitor?: Monitor volume usage directly in the Billing section under the Volume Tracking dashboard and cross-check with contract allotment details.

Best Practices

  • Regularly review the volume summary to avoid unexpected overages.
  • Use the forecasting feature to adjust your lead flows proactively and manage contracted usage efficiently.
  • Contact your Customer Success Manager (CSM) promptly via the Volume Tracking page or by emailing customersuccess@activeprospect.com if any discrepancies are observed.
