Usability
It is by far the easiest system to administrator that I have either had experience doing or demoed from other vendors. No coding skills needed. Simple interfaces for everything. And the Allbound University and live support are great!

Regular meetings, lots of UAT, quick responses, and adherence to our timeline made implementation a breeze -- even though we had some really complex processes we needed to support.

For our partner portal, we have chosen Allbound. We wanted one place where all of our partners could go to find the information they required, and where some of that information could be made available automatically. Allbound provides us all the necessary tools for facilitating content exchange with our partners, including legally binding contracts, transaction registrations, and everything else we may need. It also helps us empower our partners by providing them with instructional courses and turnkey marketing strategies.

Channelyze.io Screenshots

Screenshot of Manage leads across the channel:
Managing leads across three tiers has always been challenging, Until now! Channelyze makes it easy for any partner or distributor to capture, track, register and close leads. A chat feature for each lead helps improve the communication across the channel and increases the chances of closing the lead.Screenshot of Intelligent deal registration:
Providing partners with a way to protect their deals from being closed by other partners is an important yet challenging process for many vendors. It often requires the vendor to have manual oversight of the sales activities taking place and can be prone to error.

With Channelyze, vendors can define the exact criteria that partners must meet in order to benefit from deal protection and those eligible partners can register to protect their deals with a single click. Channelyze uses a fuzzy matching process to alert the vendor when a partner tries to register a deal that has already been registered by another partner and lets the vendor reject the new registration request.Screenshot of Reporting and analytics:
Create the reports you need to see how your channel is performing. Catered dashboards for each user give a visual representation on reach, frequency, and yield so they know where to focus their efforts. With Channelyze, vendors, distributors and resellers get a complete view of how individual product families are performing, how partners are performing and how certain geographies are looking. You have a powerful view on the state of retention, revenues, churn, win rate and pipelines.Screenshot of Price lists:
Pricing deals should be easy for your partners and with Channelyze it is. By entering your localised price lists into Channelyze, partners can price their deals simply by selecting the products and quantities they need to fulfil the deal. Channelyze does the rest. It calculates the list price, the partner margin, incorporating any vendor-specified discounts and shows the corresponding billing schedule.Screenshot of Assets:
Provide partners with sales brochures, one pagers, sales presentations and any other assets that will help partners sell. Assets can be targeted at specific regions and partner types and can be co-branded with the partners logo.

Assets may also be published externally, with performance metrics and lead conversion ratios available in a simple dashboard.Screenshot of Renewals:
It is a well-known fact that renewals are difficult to manage, especially when working with channel partners. The traditional CRM and PRM systems are not built for this purpose. Channelyze keeps track of every deal that has been conducted through the channel and makes the information easily available to renewal teams at the vendor, distributor, and reseller for when it is time to renew.
