Thirty years in the Australian channel. One obsession: the reconciliation.
Cloud Billing Services is the software company inside Select Software Solutions — Selcomm — an Australian channel business that has been in this market since 1996. We are not a venture-funded newcomer trying to understand distribution from a whiteboard. We have been running the workflows we are now productising, at AU scale, for three decades.
Built by operators, for operators.
Selcomm has been distributing software into the Australian channel since the mid-1990s. We were there when the market was shrink-wrapped boxes and faxed purchase orders. We were there when it became OEM key codes. We were there when it became cloud subscriptions, usage-metered consumption, marketplaces, CSP, and everything in between.
Every one of those transitions broke the billing stack. The same story, every time: a new pricing primitive the old system couldn't model, a new vendor feed the old system couldn't ingest, a new partner shape the old system couldn't represent. Every time, we rebuilt. Every time, we learned a little more about what an honest distributor-grade platform actually needs to be.
In 2023 we decided the platform we'd built for ourselves was the platform the rest of the Australian channel needed. Cloud Billing Services is that, as a product. Same operators. Same obsession with the three-way match. Same refusal to ship a connector we can't reconcile.
Principles — not slogans.
Reconciliation first, billing second
Invoicing is the easy part. Proving that every line you invoiced matches what the vendor charged and what the partner consumed — that is the work. We build the hard thing first, not last.
Deep, not wide
We would rather ship 30 connectors that reconcile to the cent than 200 that mostly-work. Coverage is a commitment, not a directory count.
Australian owned, Australian hosted, Australian supported
Not because it's a marketing line — because it's a commercial requirement for the customers we serve. Data stays in Sydney. Support speaks your accent. The roadmap is set here.
Operator-to-operator
Our customers run distribution businesses. So do we. We talk in specifics, quote real numbers, and don't pretend the job is simple. You'll get direct answers, sometimes inconvenient ones.
Who we are.
Our commercial shape
Privately held. Profitable. No venture capital, no quarterly burn pressure, no mandate to pivot into adjacent markets. We can invest in the unglamorous parts of the platform because the business does not need us to chase a unicorn outcome.
Where we're based
Head office in Sydney. Engineering and support on AEST. Infrastructure in AWS ap-southeast-2. Customer data never leaves Australia unless a customer explicitly opts into a cross-region report. We are native to this market in every sense that matters.
The operators behind the platform.

Operations team
Implementation & customer success
A small, senior team of former distributor operators. They have closed real months-end on real ledgers. They implement the platform, train your finance team, and stay with you through the first quarters of close.
Engineering
Based Sydney, reconciliation-first
Platform engineers who would rather ship one more connector that reconciles cleanly than one more feature that demos well. They own their code in production and take the on-call pager.
A note on references
Customer names on this site are illustrative. Real references — with real outcomes, real numbers, and real finance directors — are available under a mutual NDA as part of an evaluation. We don't parade customer logos in marketing, because distribution is a small market and our customers' commercials are their own.
