PARTNER PROGRAM

Bring the buyer’s platform to your clients.

If you advise enterprises on software licensing, procurement, or IT asset management, your clients already need what Vera AI does: benchmarks from real closed deals, negotiation playbooks, and AI agents on the contract portfolio. The partner program gives you two ways to put it in their hands, and both pay you for it. And with the partner portal, you bring clients on under your own brand and watch every renewal in your book from one desk.

01
Margin resale
YOUR PAPER, YOUR MARGIN, EVERY YEAR YOU HOLD THE ACCOUNT

You buy at a partner rate and sell at list. The contract and the billing run on your paper, so the client relationship stays yours. We run the platform, the benchmark data, and the support behind you. The margin repeats at every renewal you close, which makes this the model for firms that want Vera AI as a standing line in their portfolio.

Best for: licensing resellers, SAM and ITAM consultancies, and managed service providers with their own commercial paper.
02
Referral fee
A FEE ON FIRST YEAR REVENUE, WITH A TRAIL

You make the introduction, we close and own the relationship. You earn a fee on first year subscription revenue, with a trail into year two on accounts where you stay engaged. No billing, no contract paper, no support obligation on your side. This is the lowest friction way to monetize the clients who ask you what their software should cost.

Best for: advisory firms, fractional CIOs, and procurement consultants who recommend tooling but do not resell it.
COMMERCIAL TERMS

Your rate is agreed in a conversation, not printed on a page.

Plans are annual and priced publicly, so the deal size is easy to model from the pricing section. Partner economics are not one number for every firm: your resale margin or referral rate depends on the model you run, the volume you bring, and how much of the client work you carry. We set it in the partner agreement, and we would rather agree it with you directly than publish a rate that undersells what a strong partner earns.

RESALE MARGIN

A partner rate off list, set in your agreement. It applies at the first sale and again at every renewal that stays on your paper.

REFERRAL FEE

A percentage of first year subscription revenue on deals you register and introduce, paid when the subscription starts.

RENEWAL TRAIL

Referral accounts where you stay engaged carry a trail into year two. Resale accounts keep paying margin for as long as you hold them.

Every rate, the payout schedule, and the deal registration terms are written into the partner agreement before your first registered deal. Contact the partner team to start that conversation.

WHY IT SELLS

Your clients ask what software should cost. This is the answer.

Vera AI benchmarks a client’s net price against more than 500,000 real closed transactions across 520 vendors, then writes the negotiation playbook to close the gap. A single Microsoft, SAP, or Salesforce renewal often carries six or seven figures of addressable savings, so the platform pays for itself on the first deal it touches. That makes it a straightforward recommendation, and a straightforward sale.

It also makes you better at the work your clients already pay you for: every engagement gets the benchmark data, the redlines, and the deliverables of a full buying desk.

DEAL REGISTRATION
Register an account before the first demo and it is yours: your margin or fee is protected for the life of the opportunity, and we do not sell around you.
ENABLEMENT AND DEMO ACCESS
Your team gets a demo workspace with sample data, training on the benchmark methodology, and a named contact at Redress for deal support.
BUYER SIDE, ALWAYS
We take no vendor money and sell nothing to the sell side. Recommending the platform never puts your independence in question.
HOW IT WORKS

Three steps from application to first payout.

01
Apply

Tell us who you serve and which model fits. We sign the partner agreement, set your model and rate, open your demo workspace, and switch on the partner portal for your firm.

02
Register the deal

One email per opportunity, before the first demo. Registration locks the account to you and protects your economics for the life of the deal.

03
Close it your way

Resale: you invoice the client at list and keep your margin. Referral: you make the introduction, we run the sale, and the fee pays out when the subscription starts.

THE PARTNER PORTAL

Onboard clients under your own brand. Run your book from one desk.

Partner firms get a portal inside the platform: white label invitations that carry your brand, a client book showing every linked client’s renewal dates and engagement, and meeting requests when a date needs a conversation. It comes with the partner agreement on both models.

WHITE LABEL INVITATIONS
Your brand on the front door.

Invite a client from the portal and the invitation email and landing page carry your firm’s name, logo, color, and tagline, sent as your firm via VendorBenchmark. Accepting opens the client’s own workspace on a free trial, already linked to your client book. Each invitation works once and expires after 30 days.

YOUR BRAND INSIDE THE PRODUCT
Served by your firm, visibly.

You edit your display name, brand color, tagline, and logo from the portal yourself, no ticket to us. Every client workspace you bring shows a served by mark with your firm’s name, so the relationship stays visibly yours while the benchmark evidence stays visibly ours.

THE CLIENT BOOK
Every renewal date in your book, one screen.

Contract terms, renewal stages, notice deadlines, and auto renewal flags across every linked client, next to engagement signals that show who is active this month. When a date needs a conversation, propose the meeting from the same screen and the client confirms it. You know which client to call this week without asking anyone.

SCOPED BY DESIGN
You see dates and engagement, never their data.

The portal shows you dates, statuses, and activity signals, and nothing else: no client files, no prices, no benchmark results, no member identities. Each client’s tenant stays entirely their own, a boundary enforced in the database rather than promised in a policy, which is exactly what their security team will demand. The partner security brief states it precisely.

DO YOUR DILIGENCE

Hesitant? Good. Here is everything we would ask in your position.

If you run a licensing, SAM, ITAM, or procurement advisory practice today, partnering with a platform is a decision about your reputation, not just your revenue. We wrote down the fifty questions a careful founder asks before signing, and answered every one in plain language, including the uncomfortable ones about channel conflict and what happens when the partnership ends.
