Unique Features for Microsoft CSP Partners
PRISM Connect is a Crayon proprietary application that integrates with supported PSAs such as Autotask, ConnectWise and Syncro with our PRISM portal.
PRISM Connect automatically transfers product and billing-related information to your instance of a supported PSA using a secure sync engine.
This connectivity eliminates your need to manually update the final invoices before sending them to your customers. PRISM Connect is currently available for Microsoft CSP program partners and can sync all monthly products in the Microsoft Cloud Solution Provider (CSP) program, including Azure.
PRISM Connect creates and updates products in the product catalogue based on the PRISM pricelist. After the products are “linked” in the catalogue (using the Vendor SKU) the Connect app will update the price and cost of the product, including your buy price and RRP.
PRISM Connect will also sync the standard monthly invoices for the program, creating prorated entries in your PSA.

Simplified Complex Billing
Consumption billing can be a beast to conquer. PRISM enables partners to easily track their billing, with consolidated invoices for each program, with data at a subscription, tenant and customer level, including pro-rata to the day. Billing data is available in PDF invoices and CSV files detailing the line item information. For more information on our Consumption Invoicing please see the related article.
