GigSafe <> CXT Partnership & Revenue Plan
1. Strategic Rationale
-
Joint value prop: “Continuously verified, policy-aware dispatch.” CXT prevents assignment of non-compliant drivers in real time; GigSafe keeps driver credentials continuously current. Together: lower legal/insurance exposure, faster onboarding into regulated verticals (healthcare, pharma), and fewer manual audits.
-
ICP overlap: Last-mile carriers and 3PLs operating in regulated/enterprise accounts that require documented compliance at dispatch time (licenses, insurance, medical/DOT certs). (Regulatory context examples: FMCSA DOT medical requirements.)
2. Offer Constructs (pick one or stack)
-
Marketplace Listing + Self-Serve Add-on
-
CXT Marketplace tile (“Featured” + “Integrations”); admin “Add Integration” → guided setup; Pendo in-app announcement.
-
Billing: CXT invoices “CXT Compliance Add-on (powered by GigSafe)” and remits rev share to GigSafe monthly.
-
Design Exploration: Marketplace
-
-
Co-Sell Referral
-
Mutual lead exchange with tracked referral codes/UTMs in both CRMs.
-
SPIFFs for AEs/CSMs (time-bounded).
-
-
Reseller / OEM
-
CXT bundles a “Compliance Guard” SKU; single contract + support path.
-
GigSafe provides back-to-back SLA and support playbooks.
-
3. Commercial Model (structure, not numbers)
-
Pricing: Per active driver / month
-
Rev Share: Tiered % of net revenue booked via the integration (e.g., higher share at higher driver tiers).
-
Attribution: Referral ID (in-app), UTM on landing pages, partner opp field in CRM, and partnerId on subscription line item.
-
MDF (Marketing Development Funds): Co-fund webinars, case studies, and conference booths tied to quarterly lead targets.
Note: Avoid committing to numeric claims (e.g., “30–40% insurance savings”) in shared material unless we can substantiate per-segment; keep to “outcomes” and customer quotes.
4. Co-Marketing Plan (Q1–Q2 sequence)
-
Launch assets: One-pager, solution brief, 90-sec explainer, 30-min webinar (“Compliance-aware dispatch in healthcare routes”), integration guide, and “How to turn on” Pendo walkthrough.
-
Channels:
-
CXT site (Integrations page), blog post, email to admins, in-app guides; GigSafe site “Works with CXT” page.
-
Joint PR if we have a lighthouse customer.
-
-
Customer proof: Target 2 lighthouse logos (one medical, one pharma courier) for case studies before broad PR.
5. Joint Operating Model
-
RACI snapshot:
-
Sales motion: Co-sell (AEs primary by platform of record), SE demo checklist, objection handling.
-
Support: L1 app issues = CXT; credential sourcing/validation = GigSafe; escalations via shared Slack/Teams channel.
-
SLA targets: Webhook update → dispatch gate < 60s end-to-end; availability SLOs matched to CXT incident severity matrix (contracted in back-to-back SLAs).
-
Security/Legal: DPA, data-flow diagram, SOC 2 reports exchange; brand and trademark guidelines.
-
6. Success Metrics
-
Leading: Installs (net new / week), active tenants, % drivers synchronized, % orders checked.
-
Lagging: Reduction in non-compliant dispatch attempts, fewer compliance-related incidents, win-rate lift in regulated deals, expansion revenue from add-on, NRR of integrated accounts.
-
Partner metrics: Referred pipeline $, SQLs, close rate, attach rate of add-on.
7. Risks & Mitigations (steelman)
-
Ops disruption from false negatives/positives: Add “Warn vs Enforce” modes + override with audit trail; phased rollout by fleet segments.
-
Attribution disputes: Enforce partnerId on install and partner-sourced opp tags; quarterly attribution review.
-
Liability confusion: Clear demarcation—CXT enforces policy; GigSafe attests credential status; customer is system of record for policy definitions.
-
Channel conflict: Document territory/segment rules; no-poach guidelines for named accounts.
8. Open Questions for Commercial Alignment
-
Preferred commercial construct (referral vs reseller vs OEM)?
-
Who owns primary contracting in co-sell deals?
-
Required SLAs/credits for credential freshness?
-
Data residency requirements (EU tenants)?
-
Co-marketing commitments and MDF governance?
