Use case / Agencies & consultancies

Run referral and delivery agencies in one program

Agencies and consultancies work two ways — they send you referrals, and they deliver the work. PartnerOS runs both: source and split referral fees, register and deliver projects, share revenue, and pay every associate down the chain. Referral in. Delivery out. Paid accurately.

How agency partners work

Four kinds of agency partner, one program

Some agencies only refer, some only deliver, and consultancies do both. PartnerOS handles every shape without a forked build.

Referral agencies

Send you qualified leads and earn a finder's fee or a share of the revenue they source. They never touch delivery.

Delivery & implementation partners

Take signed deals and deliver the work — onboarding, build-out, integration — on a shared project pipeline.

Solution consultancies

Both refer and deliver: they scope the engagement, sign the SOW, and share revenue on what they close.

Affiliate creators

Publishers, creators, and communities driving tracked sign-ups for a flat bounty or a recurring share.

Agency vocabulary

The same core, in agency words

PartnerOS ships a small set of generic objects. Rename them to how your agencies actually talk — no bespoke build, no forked codebase.

Generic in, agency words out
PartnerAgency or consultancyAny referral or delivery firm in your network.
DealReferral or projectA sourced lead, or a signed engagement to deliver.
CommissionReferral fee + revenue shareA flat finder's fee, a percentage of revenue, or both.

Hierarchy

Lead agencies over sub-contractors and associates

Agencies rarely work alone. Nest a lead agency over delivery partners, then over the sub-contractors, associates, and freelancers who do the work — volume rolls up, the lead earns an override, and each level sees only its own subtree.

  • Lead agency → delivery partner → sub-contractor / freelancer
  • Override and revenue-share splits down the chain
  • Subtree scoping enforced server-side, not in the UI

Payout

Referral fees and revenue share, accrued to a ledger

Pay agencies however the deal is structured. Every rule accrues to an append-only ledger the instant its event fires, recurring shares advance on their own, and a payout worker settles the transfer — every cent traceable.

  • Flat referral fee — a fixed amount per qualified referral
  • Revenue share — a percentage of every deal an agency sources
  • Tiered by delivered projects — the rate climbs with delivery volume
  • Retainer + success fee — a monthly retainer plus an on-close bonus

Deliverables

SOWs and partner agreements in one library

Every engagement carries paperwork. Send statements of work, MSAs, and referral terms for signature, foldered by agency and status — and watch what is signed, awaiting signature, or expiring, without a shared drive.

  • SOWs, MSAs, and referral terms, sent for e-signature
  • Foldered by agency, with signed / expiring status
  • Money never appears in a legal document — only in the ledger

  • Referrals, delivered projects, and sourced revenue
