Partner Capabilities
Partners & Commission Management System
TimelyBill offers a comprehensive commission management solution tailored for the telecom channel.
Our multi-level partner management capabilities allow telecommunications companies to manage partners, distributors, and agent commissioning plans. The TimelyBill platform enables the creation of multi-tiered partner hierarchies. Service providers can define commissions (one-time payouts), residuals (recurring payouts), and chargebacks. Organizations can also configure the recovery of commissions or residuals when services terminate before a defined period.
Our telecom commissioning and partner management feature also includes advanced functionality such as the ability to "re-brand" bulk services when partner organizations are sold to another partner or merged to a new entity. It also has the ability to relate partner accounts to customer accounts and navigate between them for the purpose of managing demo type units or other services.
