22 Dealers

Cloud PBX/UC has enabled organizations to scale, stay flexible, be resilient, and focus on the business they do, rather than go into the complexities of IT infrastructure. Cloud UC services (UCaaS) providers like RingCentral, Nextiva, Vonage, ZOOM, etc. Sell cloud communication services and cloud-based products.

Distributors/Resellers partner with the service providers to give out cloud UC services and products to the customers.

A distributor or the reseller purchases cloud UC services and cloud-based UC products from the cloud service provider and further sells them to the end users.

The cloud PBX/UC service providers just need to focus on hosting the PBX UC system in the cloud, ensuring service operation, and providing continuous stable service.

PortSIP PBX is a multi-tenant PBX designed for the cloud age. It offers a great feature called Dealers that allows service providers to manage dealers (distributors and resellers) easily.

Dealer Levels

PortSIP PBX provides three levels for dealers:

• Distributor

• Sub-Distributor

• Reseller

Each level of the dealer can create, modify, or delete the lower-level dealer.

• The service provider can create the Distributor, Sub-Distributor, and Reseller.

• The Distributor can only create the Sub-Distributor and Reseller.

• The Sub-Distributor can only create the Reseller.

All levels of dealers can create and manage their end-users - tenants.
