José's new (brilliant) idea

After their latest success with Green Kicks - a line of sneakers made from natural materials, produced locally and even gluten-free - José decides to push customer loyalty to an even more advanced level. He proposes to send a new model of sneakers at the beginning of each new quarter to the key users of the Cloud Kicks community by setting up subscriptions. To convince the board, he makes a first attempt of sending some samples to the biggest fans: what a success! José would like to implement this subscription setup and asks Linda, the Salesforce administrator, to find a technical solution to integrate this idea into Salesforce.

They need a tool that can manage subscriptions and billing at the same time. Since they prefer - of course - to stay in the Salesforce ecosystem, Linda starts searching in AppExchange.
