Introduction to Cloud Reseller Commerce Platform (RCP)

What is Cloud Reseller Commerce Platform?

Any business entering into reselling or adding reselling to existing services portfolio, needs the following at the minimum: a white-labelable web portal, a marketplace to advertise your offerings, and a way for customers to purchase those offers. Typical Control Panel solutions (aka pre-cloud era hosting solutions) provide some of these functionalities, so if you are a service provider already using one of them, you can sort of accomplish parts of reselling through that.


However, as more resellers onboard the growing number of Reseller Programs offered by top Cloud Service Providers covering usage, license, or subscription-based services, there is an increased demand to deliver a centralized platform that is beyond just a control panel; one that handles the end-to-end business process from a) the business administration side of things, like onboarding new tenants, billing, etc. and b) end-user self-service and management. Resellers need a platform that can drive their business and their tenants’ scenarios.   Such a comprehensive solution is called as Reseller Commerce Platform (RCP).


Traditionally, Customers expect the following from a Reseller:

  • Be a trusted advisor in making the right choices while procuring resources and handle all the complexity related to that
  • Act as a single point of contact across various providers and services
  • Get better pricing that may not be easily available from the market
  • Offer value-added services, hosted services on top of off-the-shelve procurements

In addition, todays’ customers expect the following from a Reseller:


  • Bring in cloud expertise that the customer does not have in-house
  • Help keeping cloud spend under control, optimize cloud costs and avoid wastage
  • Offer support and managed services across various cloud services, as most organizations may not have internal operations teams well-versed across all cloud services
  • Produce single billing invoice across usage, license, and subscription-based resources


Reseller Business Flow:

There are many aspects of running any business, most of which involve determining the target customer base, marketing & sales strategy, and implementing processes such as support model, billing, and so on. Following are some of the activities that are specific to reseller business:

  • Determine Cloud Service Providers and Services to resell
  • Find other value-added services that can be offered on top of the off-the-shelve products
  • Build a marketplace to offer the services
  • Configure pricing, promotions, discounts, margins, create bundles, offers, and so on
  • Generate leads, invite and onboard customers
  • Help customers discover services and lead them to procurement
  • Provide ongoing support to customers, and this may be related to additional purchases, managing existing purchases, and so on
  • Up-sell, cross-sell value-added services
  • Provide ongoing usage and billing information to the customers, so there is no surprise at the end of the month
  • Generate a unified invoice for all the services consumed by the customer, with transparency and details about every single line item
  • Handle billing disputes efficiently

o   Ability to drill down into details on daily/hourly basis for self-diagnosis and reconciliation

o   Have billing history and trends to compare with previous months

o   Ability to connect any billing charge with the customer action (auditability)

o   Ability for customers to raise/escalate a billing dispute easily and follow a standardized support workflow


  • Have unified management, billing, and reporting across all things consumed by the customer, including usage-, license-, and subscription-based products

A reseller business has various parts working together on an ongoing basis to accomplish the above. Following are the high-level phases in a typical reseller business process:



From the tenant perspective, a company or user working with a reseller has the following needs:

A well-designed Reseller Commerce Platform (RCP) would have features to support the unique needs of both resellers and tenants.
