Our competitors |
 |
| Simple sign-up process |
Registration of child accounts is fast and can be managed by either the
reseller or the reseller's customer.
|
None of our competitors have developed a web-based tool to manage their reseller
accounts.
|
| Simple integration |
Range of sample code and full technical support provided. Postcode Anywhere is not
platform or application specific and can be implemented in minutes.
|
Generally complex. Most competitors have very specific API's for their services. The
Postcode Anywhere service can be simply added across a wide range of applications.
|
| Automatic updates |
No issue with having to manage CD renewals for customers.
|
CD update process tends to happen between PAF reseller and end user for convenience.
Reseller loses relationship and commission only tends to last into year one. Where PAF
is part of application, updates only get applied with new releases.
|
| Web based account management |
Reseller account becomes master account allowing you to manage your own customers from
one single location.
|
Administration, especially invoicing considered laborious under conventional competitor
arrangements. Typically PAF reseller invoices own reseller at discounted rate, who then
invoices customer. Reseller bears customer risk of non-payment.
|
| Leading provider of a range of web services |
Provides you with a range of potential uses for your own applications from one simple
installation. E.g. address lookup, where's my nearest, customer profiling, etc.
|
Resellers tend to look for a range of different applications to enhance the functionality
of their own software. Most of Postcode Anywhere's competitors either do not provide this
or have segregated offerings that make it more difficult to sell to their own customers.
|
| Full reporting |
Reseller is able to gain a greater insight into their own customer's usage of their application
through the credit usage reports available through the Postcode Anywhere website, thus
enhancing your own marketing intelligence.
|
Competitor offerings do not provide any reporting or tracking.
|
| Invoicing |
Automatic invoicing of customers reduces administrative overhead for our resellers. Ongoing
commission paid whenever you choose to invoice us.
|
Invoicing is administratively cumbersome, reducing the net value of the sale, and puts the
reseller at risk if their own customer does not pay.
