Renewals Management Software

Launch dedicated renewals programs to drive higher renewal rates and renewal revenues via partners

Channel Mechanics

Most technology vendors rely on a significant portion of their annual revenue to come from existing customers by “simply” securing the renewal of their product.

Be it a SaaS subscription, services or a maintenance continuity for a perpetual software license, renewals account for a significant portion of total revenue. Missing out on a renewal in not only a direct hit on revenue, it is also the loss of potential to grow your business with any up-sell and cross-sell offerings from your wider portfolio. Renewals Management is therefore the lifeblood for many vendors and partners.

While renewal rates are listed as 1 of 9 Channel KPIs every manager should be tracking, they can be complicated when selling through the channel (Distributors, Dealers, Sales Agents, Resellers). This is because the vendor is often one step (and sometimes two) steps removed from the end customer. Many vendors fail to realize the churn when it comes to securing renewals by the lack of data, systems and tracking.

Unfortunately, Partners are not always good at keeping a database of record of previous sales. This is where the Vendor needs to step in. By putting tools and processes in place to track sales and automate the presentation of renewal opportunities to partners, vendors ensure no loss of installed base footprint. Partners are very grateful for this and often see this as the Vendor providing them with new opportunities, albeit opportunities that were theirs in the first place. But either way, a win-win.

“Our use of the Channel Mechanics Platform has enabled us to both dramatically improve turnaround times for quote requests and reduce the administrative traffic to the teams’ inboxes, allowing them to focus on value-add tasks. Our key objectives in implementing the portal are to improve on-time renewal rates and improve the ease for partners in doing business with us and we are seeing improvements in both as we roll the project out. We are planning further expansion of the use of the platform and the Channel Mechanics Team are great partners in helping us develop and implement these projects.”
