Being a partner is more than just taking stock balances and giving various insights.

We know it's still the dog days of summer, but it's a great time to get a status check on your year so far.

If you are unfamiliar with the Partner Permissions page, it's an admin-level tool used to manage retailer partner permissions requests.

Taking some time now to get comfortable with the Dashboard - or any Balance to Buy feature you might be unfamiliar with - will save you untold amounts of time and energy in the future

Balance to Buy is growing and evolving to meet your needs as a vendor, and that is exciting!

What are Vendor Dashboards? A new page within Balance to Buy that provides filterable insight into business trends using visual graphics and multiple KPI's.

With even faster report generation, an ever-expanding list of participating retailers, and some top secret new functionalities coming soon

A significant number of the retailers whose data you can find on Balance to Buy are data-sharing retailers - they are sharing data solely to partner with their chosen vendors and do NOT have access to the Balance to Buy platform.

Engage the product leads for the catalog and mapping, start saving and scheduling your favorite reports, and have conversations with your retailer on what they consider to be fast-sellers, what their preferred reorder cadence is, and what their maximum inventory level for your brand might be.
