THE PROBLEM
Why IT distributor forecasts are hard to trust
IT distributors sit between vendors and resellers — making the pipeline collection problem particularly acute. Updates from the reseller base arrive in different formats, on different schedules, and with different levels of quality. Turning that into a trustworthy forecast takes more manual work than anyone has time for.

✕
Reseller updates arrive inconsistently — different formats, different levels of detail, different timings
Account managers spend cycles collecting the same update data every single month
Pipeline views assembled for vendor reviews are already stale before the call starts
Vendor partners want confident pipeline data that IT distributors struggle to provide cleanly
TWO DIRECTIONS, ONE WORKFLOW
Works upstream and downstream
IT distributors face pipeline collection pressure from two directions simultaneously.
DOWNSTREAM - COLLECTING FROM RESELLERS
Send structured requests to your reseller base. Collect deal stage, value, close date, and notes. Consolidate into one Deal Sheet automatically.
UPSTREAM - REPORTING TO VENDORS
Present clean, consolidated pipeline data to vendor partners in reviews. No more assembled spreadsheets. No more last-minute update requests.

QUESTIONS
Frequently asked
Do resellers need to pay or create an account?
No. Resellers receive a structured update link and complete a simple webform showing only their deals. No paid plan, no new system, no training required.
Can we manage multiple vendor product lines in one cycle?
Yes. Your Deal Sheet can contain deals across multiple vendors and product categories. Each reseller sees only the deals relevant to their relationship
Does it replace our distributor management platform?
No — it solves one specific part of the workflow: collecting structured deal updates from resellers. It works alongside your existing platforms rather than replacing them.
How does it help with vendor pipeline reviews?
By the time your vendor review arrives, Channel Chaser has already collected and consolidated all reseller updates into a single clean Deal Sheet. No last-minute chasing required.
Can it handle a large reseller base?
Yes. Channel Chaser is designed for distributor-scale update cycles. Each reseller receives a scoped request showing only their deals, which keeps response rates high regardless of base size.
