Profit Together, Grow Together
Our revenue sharing model aligns incentives so that when your pallet volume grows, your margins grow with it. Transparency is baked into every calculation.
How Revenue Sharing Works
Baseline Volume Established
We agree on a monthly pallet volume baseline during onboarding. This baseline determines your starting tier and corresponding margin structure.
Tiered Margin Escalation
As your monthly volume exceeds the baseline, your margin per pallet increases automatically. There is no need to renegotiate contracts. The system adjusts in real-time.
Quarterly Performance Bonuses
Partners who maintain consistent or growing volume receive quarterly performance bonuses calculated as a percentage of total revenue generated through the partnership.
Annual Loyalty Rebate
At the end of each calendar year, partners who have maintained their tier for 12 consecutive months receive a loyalty rebate of 1-3% on total annual spend.
Revenue Sharing Tiers
| Monthly Volume | Partner Margin | Quarterly Bonus |
|---|---|---|
| Up to 500 | 8-10% | --- |
| 500 - 1,500 | 10-13% | 0.5% of revenue |
| 1,500 - 3,000 | 13-16% | 1.0% of revenue |
| 3,000 - 5,000 | 16-19% | 1.5% of revenue |
| 5,000+ | Custom | Custom |
All margins are calculated on net revenue after logistics costs. Quarterly bonuses are paid within 30 days of quarter close. Annual loyalty rebates are paid in January for the prior calendar year. Custom terms are available for enterprise-volume partners.
