Below are eleven compelling reasons why ISVs should consider operating their own transactional marketplaces:
Integrating a transactional marketplace like AtlasGM can enhance customer retention by providing comprehensive solutions - provided by and together with valued service provider partners - that stimulate long-term customer loyalty.
Transactional marketplaces can and should be open to both existing and prospective customers, and services partners should be provided with the tools to easily bring net new revenue opportunities. Expanding into new geographic and sector-specific markets is also more easily done through a robust, self-service marketplace solution.
Building a partner ecosystem through a self-service, transactional marketplace platform can facilitate unparalleled collaboration and co-creation, driving mutual trust, economic value creation and product innovation.
AtlasGM enables ISVs to diversify their revenue opportunities by introducing additional services and products, broadening their financial base. It’s also likely that ISVs, for the first time, can create self-funded, if not profitable, partnerships teams.
Marketplaces allow for powerful tracking and reporting of partner contributions, ensuring transparency and reinforcing partnerships.
A digital marketplace that goes far beyond partner locators and directories provides numerous customer interaction touchpoints and data collection, helping to deliver personalized experiences that strengthen relationships.
