Commission revenue from the vendor. Services revenue from the client. Same business, on different recognition schedules. PartnerView is the only system that models the hybrid natively.

"Every PSA on the market treats us as either a pure agency or a pure reseller. We are neither. We are the third thing."
A partner services firm doesn't sell one thing in one way. They run five distinct commercial patterns, each with its own revenue recognition, cost flow, and invoicing logic. PartnerView models them natively.
Vendor invoices the client. You earn a commission. Nothing hits your books except revenue net of vendor cost.
You contract directly, deliver, invoice the client. Standard agency math, but ties back to the license deal.
Vendor owns the client. You deliver as their subcontractor at an hourly rate. Their margin, your hours.
Partner A sold it. You deliver. SOW-level profit splits, non-circumvention windows, payment tied to upstream.
License + services in one motion. Commission on the seat, gross margin on the implementation. Same client.
of vendor commission revenue goes unreconciled across the average partner services firm. On a $2M partner, that's $60,000 to $100,000 a year of money you already earned and didn't catch.
Every area is built around the partner services commercial model. Not a generic PSA bolted to a generic CRM. One system, one shape.
Pipeline that knows your deals have a commission side and a services side. Matrix quotes that combine license commission projections and implementation services in one document. MEDDPICC dots that fill as the conversations happen.
Paste in the vendor statement. PartnerView flags every variance against the deals you actually closed and the commission schedule that applies. The shadow ledger is over. Recovery becomes a process, not a heroic Excel session.
Search the team by skill and proficiency in two clicks. Track vendor certifications on a history model with expiry alerts. Allocate hours week by week with a spread-evenly helper. Profit per person, not just per project.
Phased projects with Gantt and resource allocation. Time tracking that flows into cost. Subcontracting flows native to both vendor sub programs and partner-to-partner subs. Margin against the original quote, live.
T&M as-burned. Fixed-fee by percent complete. Retainer straight-line. Commission on receipt. Managed services per hours-bank period. Five engagement types, five recognition rules, one close. Syncs to QuickBooks or Xero.
Teams, tech stack, permissions, configuration, and the consistent interface that ties it all together. The platform underneath the work.
Six partner types in the channel. Four are our bullseye and the product leads with them. The other two are supported and useful, just not where we lead.
You sell vendor software on commission. You don't put licenses on your books. The vendor invoices the client. You also deliver services around the implementation.
SupportedYou put licenses on your books and resell with markup, then deliver implementation alongside. PartnerView handles this. License cost flow, services margin, both reconciled. Not where we lead, but it works.
BullseyeCombines multiple vendors' products into custom-built solutions, with the integration itself as the core offering.
BullseyeYou're vendor-certified for implementation. You may or may not sell licenses. The services arm is the business. You bill for hours, scopes, or retainers, and you defend margin against fixed contracts.
SupportedDelivers and runs the vendor's product as an ongoing service, billed to the client on a recurring basis.
BullseyeSOW splits and payment cascade. PartnerView holds the structural overhead. Not the lead use case but useful inside Deliver.
The gap shows up as leaked revenue, undercosted deals, and operational drag that scales linearly with headcount. The full breakdown is on The Partner Challenge. The highlights:
Every PSA on the market treats partner services firms as either pure agencies or pure resellers. Neither model fits. Partners hammer their commercial model into a shape the tool understands and lose fidelity in the process.
Partners either trust the statement blindly or maintain an Excel shadow ledger that breaks within two quarters. A 3–5% reconciliation gap on a $2M partner is $60,000 to $100,000 a year of revenue you already earned and didn't catch.
Quote sprawl, subcontracting overhead, recognition logic in three spreadsheets. At $1M you absorb it. At $3M it costs you a hire. At $10M it costs you the next acquisition you should have made.

PartnerView is the operating layer for partner services and consulting firms. It runs sales, compensation, people, delivery, revenue recognition, and operations on one data model built for firms that sell vendor software on commission and deliver the implementation services around it.
Channel partners, VARs, systems integrators, delivery partners, managed service providers, and subcontractors in software ecosystems like monday.com and HubSpot. If you sell software you do not own and deliver the services you do, it was built for you.
A CRM assumes you sell your own product. A PSA assumes you bill clients directly for services. A partner firm does both at once: commission revenue from the vendor and services revenue from the client, on different recognition schedules. PartnerView models that hybrid natively instead of bolting a CRM to a PSA.
Yes. Paste in the vendor statement and PartnerView flags every variance against your closed deals and the schedule that applies. On a $2M partner, the 3 to 5 percent that usually goes uncaught is $60,000 to $100,000 a year.
PartnerView is in pilot with select monday.com and HubSpot partners. If you are a partner services firm doing $1M to $10M of services revenue, book a demo and we will model your numbers.
