Partner Management

Partner Profile Management centralizes all partner data (prospects, companies, contacts) for a unified view. It resolves issues of fragmented data and poor segmentation by allowing vendors to categorize partners (types, tiers), define custom access controls, and implement channel scorecards. This results in accurate, scalable, and personalized channel operations, improving engagement and performance tracking for partners.
