What if Your Partner Program Ran Itself?
Is your partner manager spending more time on spreadsheets and administrative tasks than on building strategic relationships? Manual processes—from onboarding and deal registration to calculating commissions—are slow, error-prone, and impossible to scale. You can't grow a thriving partner ecosystem on a foundation of manual work. It's time to become an automation partner to your own program. Journeybee provides the automation engine to streamline your entire partner lifecycle. We help you build a self-driving program that reduces busy work, increases partner trust, and creates a foundation for infinite scale.
Three High-Impact Use Cases for PRM Automation
Implement intelligent workflows that save time and create a world-class experience for your partners, from their first day to their latest commission check.
Automated Onboarding
First impressions are critical. A slow, manual onboarding process creates friction and delays a partner's time-to-revenue. With Journeybee, you can create a seamless, automated onboarding experience tailored to each partner. The Workflow: A new automation solution partner signs up on your website. They are automatically sent the correct partner agreement via a DocuSign integration. Once signed, they are instantly enrolled in a 'New Partner Onboarding' learning path in the portal. Upon completing their training, their portal is automatically populated with the specific sales kits, marketing materials, and technical guides relevant to their tier and specialty. Your partners are fully onboarded and enabled in days, not weeks, without your team lifting a finger.
Frictionless Deal Registration and Lead Referrals
Don't let a clunky deal registration process kill a partner's motivation. Provide a fast, transparent, and rewarding system that makes it easy for partners to bring you business. The Workflow: An automations partner registers a new deal through their portal. The system automatically checks for duplicates in your CRM, instantly approving and assigning the lead to the correct sales representative. The partner sees the real-time status of their referred deal directly in their portal—no more 'black box' where leads disappear. They get automatic notifications when the deal stage changes. You accelerate your sales cycle by eliminating administrative delays and build trust by providing partners with complete visibility into the pipeline they help create.
Flawless, Automated Partner Commissions
Calculating commissions manually is a recipe for errors, disputes, and partner dissatisfaction. Automate the entire process to ensure your partners are paid accurately and on time, every time. The Workflow: A deal co-owned by a partner is marked 'Closed-Won' in your CRM. This event automatically triggers Journeybee to calculate the precise commission based on the partner's tier, the deal size, and any custom rules. The calculated commission is automatically added to the next scheduled payment run through an integration with payment platforms like Stripe or PayPal. You eliminate costly errors, free up your finance team, and build a reputation as a reliable and trustworthy company to partner with.
Built for Complex Ecosystems, Including System Integration Partners
Managing high-value relationships with automated system integration partners requires more than a simple portal. Journeybee's automation engine is designed for this complexity. You can create custom tiers with different commission rules, track complex technical certifications, manage joint project plans, and provide dedicated resources—all handled through automated, repeatable workflows.
Before Journeybee, our partner onboarding was the bottleneck to our growth. I was personally spending hours with each new partner, and we could only realistically handle 4-5 new sign-ups a month. Now, our onboarding is an automated flow. We onboarded over 30 new partners last month, and the system handled everything—from the contract signing to their final certification. Our partners get a professional, consistent experience, and they're ready to sell in a fraction of the time.
Three Core Business Values of PRM Automation
Reduce Manual Workload
Free up your partner managers from administrative tasks. Let them focus on high-value activities like strategy, and co-selling.
Increase Partner Engagement
A fast, transparent, and reliable operational experience is a key driver of partner satisfaction. When partners know they can count on your systems, they are more likely to invest in the relationship.
Build a Foundation for Infinite Scale
Create an automated framework that allows you to grow your partner program from 50 partners to 5,000 without a linear increase in headcount or operational chaos.

Frequently Asked Questions about PRM Automations
PRM automations are technology-driven workflows that handle the repetitive, manual tasks involved in managing a partner program. Instead of a person manually onboarding a partner, registering a deal, or calculating a commission, the automation partner software (like Journeybee) executes these tasks based on pre-set rules and triggers from your other systems, like a CRM.
Our platform is ideal for managing automated system integration partners. You can create sophisticated, tiered programs where partners unlock new benefits (like higher commission rates or access to market development funds) by completing technical certifications. You can automate every step, from tracking training progress to adjusting payment rules, ensuring these high-value partners get the white-glove, efficient experience they expect.
Yes. This is one of the most powerful features. By integrating with your CRM and payment gateways, Journeybee acts as the central logic engine. It listens for a 'deal closed' signal, applies your specific commission rules to calculate the exact payout, and then instructs your payment system to process it. It removes manual calculations and potential for error entirely.
Journeybee is designed to be the automation layer that sits on top of your existing systems. We offer deep, bi-directional integrations with major CRMs like Salesforce and HubSpot. This allows for a seamless flow of information—deals from your CRM can trigger automations in Journeybee, and partner engagement data from Journeybee can enrich the records in your CRM.
