Partner Compensation / Revenue Share

RecVue Resolution/Response:

The unified platform offerings of the RecVue solution, which includes a partner compensation module in addition to a powerful billing engine, ensures both sides of the revenue share needs – not just billing and invoicing, but the payment side as well – within the same application. And, given the technology employed in the design of our billing solution, a billing cycle of significant volume can be processed in a fraction of the time required for competing solutions.

Why Its Important:

The franchise model is frequently employed within this particular sector requiring compensation capabilities for partner networks. There are multiple fees within this model that require assessment and settlement between franchisee and franchisor. For example, say, a franchise extends capital and when someone stays at one of a franchise’s hotels, the franchisee receives a portion of the revenue as will the franchiser. A solution must be able to handle a variety of settlement fees associated with revenue share.
