Why Reshare: Key Differentiators from Alternative Solutions

Reshare’s Distribution Relationship Management® (DRM) solution presents numerous advantages and benefits to help clients grow their business, expand their market reach, and improve efficiencies. Reshare’s Patented Business Method (US #6,594,641, and other countries) and software provides several important differentiating elements that sets DRM apart from other options that clients may be considering.

Singular Focus on Channel Conflict Resolution
Reshare’s sole business focus is the development and operation of distribution channel conflict resolution products. The expert team at Reshare has decades of experience in distribution, channel management, and conflict resolution across a multitude of industries and countries. Channel management is Reshare’s only business pursuit, and each client gains access to our multi-channel, multi-industry expertise for guidance and direction with every DRM application.

The Only Complete Solution
Reshare offers the only complete solution to manage your channel. DRM assures the highest degree of brand control, customer retention, channel cooperation, impartial reporting and interconnectivity available. We work with Partners and can provide a complete array of functionality for each of their needs, from web site design and shopping cart development to integration into ERP, CRM, and other systems.

Breadth & Depth, Functionality & Flexibility
DRM software is extremely broad in its capability and offers a wide spectrum of options, customization, expansion, and features. Reshare’s software has been built and refined with years of cross-client utilization and industry exposure to create the world’s most comprehensive, fully-integrated channel management solution.

Get Operational ASAP
Reshare’s software requires no development time or complicated analysis to implement. DRM software can be installed and configured in little time, enabling our clients to quickly begin realizing the benefits of online sales. Developing an in-house system that attempts to replicate DRM can take from six to twenty-four months.

Impartiality of an “Independent Third Party”
Manufactures that consider building or managing their own solution will find themselves wrestling with disgruntled partners who fear that the manufacturer may be improperly calculating profitshare and may be masking long-term intentions to disintermediate. Reshare, positioned as an intermediary in the process flow, acts as an outside, independent party that handles all transactions, data, and reporting functions. Reshare provides the necessary impartiality to build trust among channel partners. By utilizing Reshare as a third party, the manufacturer can ensure that Dealers feel comfortable with expansion to channel-centric direct brandsite sales. In certain circumstances, Reshare can even “filter” end-buyer data from reaching the manufacturer – one more valuable ingredient that helps to build partner confidence in the manufacturer’s motives.

Cost/Affordability
Some manufacturers may consider utilizing internal resources in an attempt to build a “home-grown” model. Attempting to replicate the complexity of Reshare’s Distribution Relationship Management
® software would be costly and would involve thousands of man hours. A DRM license costs a fraction of a home-grown system and includes all management, maintenance and upgrades by Reshare.

Timely Customized Reporting
Although the overall issue of channel conflict is universal, Reshare understands that each client has its unique needs and requirements. Reshare’s Distribution Relationship Management
® software highly customizable. Reports, interfaces and business processes can be tailored to individual needs and delivered in various forms at desirable intervals.

Promoting Dealer Engagement in the Sale
Only Reshare’s Distribution Relationship Management Software is designed specifically to reward and incent the distribution channel to participate in the direct sale. DRM can provide for co-branding, joint-marketing, so that customers can buy when and how they want, while still providing local service and support of the Dealer the customer chooses.
