Noun

Partner Relationship Management (PRM) is the strategic framework and technological system that enables businesses to manage, optimize and scale all forms of partnerships from end-to-end.

While historically focused on resellers as the primary partner type, this view is now antiquated as modern ecosystems have evolved to include diverse partnership models — such as affiliate, referral, technology, alliance, influencer and service partners. Limiting PRM to resellers overlooks the potential of these dynamic partnerships to drive value in co-selling, co-marketing, and co-innovation.

A modern PRM integrates cross-functional collaboration, data-driven insights and seamless automation, empowering businesses to nurture and leverage a wide array of partnerships, creating a more resilient and scalable revenue engine. With a PRM, partners can remove redundant tasks in their workflows and automate them instead. By speeding up workflows, partners and partner managers save time, are more productive and ultimately contribute more to the partner ecosystem.

Example:

PartnerStack's PRM is built specifically for B2B, making it perfect for automating the unique workflows and requirements of the industry.

Noun
