Platform as a Profit Center
Convey Platform as a Profit Center (PaaPC™) solutions generate revenue from supplier subscriptions, membership fees, advertising and ecommerce.
Distributors, dealers and master agents charge their suppliers subscription fees to maintain online catalogs to distribute content, create calls to action and engage their revenue producers. Non-profits, associations and member organizations generate revenue from membership fees and vendor promotion and advertising.
All PaaPC solutions have a robust and customizable ecommerce engine to manage payment, track revenue, and distribute payment.
Distributors, Dealers, Master Agencies
Any organization that manages multiple supplier relationships can have a Platform as a Profit Center program. Suppliers are motivated to directly engage revenue producers through the PaaPC platform by maintaining and managing online catalogs to distribute content, add promotional material, create calls to action, and correspond with revenue producers. Revenue is generated by supplier subscriptions, advertising and other ecommerce transactions.
Associations, Non-Profits, Memberships
