Activating a Tenant Reseller

One of the capabilities that is offered from interworks.cloud platform, is the creation of tenant resellers, who will also have their own 'white label' Storefront.This procedure creates a new, dedicated BSS organization, under your root organization, also having its own Storefront portal that can be branded with the resellers marketing material. Also, you can manage the range of products that will be inherited to the new BSS. After the new setup is complete, tenant resellers are able to manage their customers from their own BSS and have a personalized footprint with their Storefront.

Creating a Tenant Reseller

You can initiate the tenant creation process at any point, once all the business prerequisites are met. The operation is executed through a queuing mechanism that ensures successful completion of the process, even in cases where there are multiple such processes active. Furthermore, upon initiation of the process, the user is not required to monitor this through the application window. They can log out of the platform and can check the progress at a later stage.
