If you’re a consultant, an agency, or an IT services provider, your clients already ask you for software recommendations. It happens naturally you understand their business, and they trust your judgment more than they trust a cold sales call.
The problem is what usually happens next. You point them toward a software vendor, the deal closes, and you get a thank-you email. Not a commission. Not a partnership. Just the goodwill and none of the revenue.
An ERP channel partner program exists to fix exactly that gap. Here’s how UniERP’s version works, and who it actually makes sense for.
The Problem: Advisory Trust Rarely Turns Into Revenue
Most consultants and service providers aren’t short on client trust. They’re short on ways to turn that trust into a second revenue stream.
A few things usually get in the way:
- Referring a vendor earns nothing. You make the introduction, the vendor closes the deal, and the relationship and the revenue stays entirely on their side.
- Building a competing product isn’t realistic. Developing your own ERP offering takes years and capital most consultancies don’t have.
- Reselling software solo means carrying all the support burden. Without a real partner structure, you’d own every implementation headache with none of the vendor’s backend support.
- Generic partner programs don’t fit how you actually work. Some businesses just want to refer clients. Others want to actively resell and support. A program built for only one type shuts out the other.
Why This Matters for Your Business
Every client conversation where you could have recommended a system but didn’t, because there was nothing in it for you is a missed revenue opportunity sitting in plain sight. You already did the hard part: earning the trust. A channel partner program just gives you a way to get paid for using it.
How the UniERP Channel Partner Program Works
UniERP’s program runs on three participation models, so you can pick the one that actually matches how your business operates not a one-size-fits-all structure.
1. Refer
You introduce a client to UniERP. That’s it. The UniERP team handles the sales conversation, the demo, and the close. You earn a commission on the deal, without taking on any implementation or support responsibility.
Best for: Consultants, accountants, and advisors who want a passive revenue stream from introductions they’re already making.
2. Resell
You take a more active role presenting UniERP directly to your clients, positioning it as part of your own service offering, and closing the deal yourself with UniERP’s backing. You earn a larger share of the revenue in exchange for the added involvement.
Best for: IT service providers and agencies who already sell software or hardware to clients and want to add ERP to their lineup.
3. Co-Deliver
You partner directly on implementation configuration, training, and ongoing support working alongside the UniERP team rather than just around them. This model carries the highest earning potential, because you’re delivering real, ongoing value to the client.
Best for: Systems integrators and implementation specialists who want a long-term, hands-on partnership rather than a one-time referral.
What You Can Actually Earn
Commission goes up to 45% on sign-off value, depending on which model you choose referral commissions sit lower on the scale, while co-delivery partnerships, given the deeper involvement, sit at the higher end.
The exact percentage depends on the partner model and the specifics of each deal, but the structure rewards deeper involvement with higher earnings not a flat rate regardless of effort.
Who This Program Actually Fits
This isn’t only for people already selling software. It fits a wider range of businesses than that:
- IT consultants who get asked “what system should we use?” on a regular basis.
- Accountants and business advisors already involved in their clients’ operational decisions.
- Digital agencies looking to add a recurring revenue line beyond one-off projects.
- Systems integrators and implementation specialists who want an ERP platform to build a practice around.
If your clients already trust you for business advice, you’re a fit for at least one of the three models above.
Final Thoughts
You’ve already put in the work to earn your clients’ trust. The only thing missing is a structure that lets that trust generate revenue for you, not just for whichever vendor happens to get the introduction.
UniERP’s Channel Partner Program gives you three ways to participate refer, resell, or co-deliver so you can pick the level of involvement that actually fits your business.
