1)Drive CAM Efficiencies: Gen AI Capabilities of Portal-
Description
Partners often spend considerable time searching across multiple sections of the APC Portal for relevant information or guidance, leading to delays, inconsistent results, and increased dependency on support teams. This hampers efficiency, reduces satisfaction, and limits the portal’s ability to fully enable partner self-service.
Intake Brief:
2)Drive CAM Efficiencies: Partner Telemetry (permissions & additional reporting for partners)
Partners face operational friction, limited visibility, and over-reliance on Channel Account Managers (CAMs), which slows down execution, reduces autonomy, and hinders scalable growth.
Solution Proposal: Providing key partner reports via a Self-service portal to provide real time partner visibility across:
. Partner earnings trajectory and rebate status
. Upcoming Renewal BOB with key account contact and renewal information (ideally with visibility for Partners & CAMs enabling CAM proactive outreach)
. Real time partner performance dashboards (against program goals) and projections to evolve with Al-driven next best action prompts to boost partner engagement and empower reps to self-correct
Which will reduce Partner report inquiries handled by CAM financial loops and build partner trust and engagement
