What is the difference between a referral partner and a reseller?+
A referral partner introduces the customer. DCA supplies and invoices the customer; the referral partner receives a fee under the agreed referral terms. A reseller contracts with and invoices the customer directly, choosing support from DCA or their own consultants.

Yes. Your consultants support the customer, and you sell the Compliance Tool and invoice the customer. DCA supplies the software. The selected services and/or licences are specified in the annexes to the reseller agreement.
How do I register a lead?+
Existing resellers register a lead using the dedicated lead registration page, in line with our agreement. If you would like to become a referral partner, please discuss the partnership and customer introduction arrangements with us first.
Go to lead registration →How are fees and costs agreed?+
As a referral partner, you receive a fee under the agreed referral terms. For reselling, we agree on the selected services, licences and commercial terms. Amounts and conditions are recorded in the relevant agreement and annexes.
When is an organisation a suitable lead?+
For example, when it wants to manage compliance systematically, is working towards a standard or certification, faces customer or supply-chain requirements, or wants greater control of risks, controls, tasks and evidence.
