Pax8 is revolutionizing the way managed service providers (MSPs) deliver technology solutions to their small and medium-sized business customers. At their flagship Beyond 2024 event, the cloud commerce marketplace leader unveiled a groundbreaking new Pax8 Marketplace experience that empowers partners with AI-driven insights and modern commerce capabilities to drive unprecedented growth and security.
The Next-Gen Marketplace Experience
The reimagined Pax8 Marketplace introduces two game-changing features: Opportunity Explorer and Storefronts. Opportunity Explorer leverages AI and data analytics to reveal actionable insights, enabling MSPs to identify sales opportunities and tailor recommendations based on customer needs. "With its new Marketplace, Pax8 has transformed the way we look at business growth and the products our customers need most," said Dustin Cassar, VP Managed Services of Quicktech. "These innovations are game-changing for us, and for our customers."
Storefronts, on the other hand, allow MSPs to create branded, self-serve buying experiences for their customers, streamlining the purchasing process.
"We are empowering our partners with the enterprise-grade tools they need to thrive, because we understand their business and technology pain points," said Libby McIlhany, Pax8 Chief Product Officer. "With the launch of the new Pax8 Marketplace, partners can gain unprecedented AI-driven insights into their product portfolio's alignment with customer needs, allowing them to craft solutions that unleash extraordinary growth and also deliver top-notch security."
A Modern, Intelligent Platform
The new Pax8 Marketplace is a powerful, agile, and precise platform designed for MSPs, with elegant visualizations that help them quickly identify and act on sales opportunities and security vulnerabilities. It thrives on increased interaction from partners, making static catalogs obsolete.
Key features include:
- Smart search and advanced sorting capabilities in the Catalog
- Multi-cart functionality for managing multiple orders simultaneously
- Streamlined quote-to-contract process with customizable templates
- Solutions library for architecting and reselling tailored offerings
"The tech industry is poised to double world GDP growth, fueled in part by the small and medium-sized business sector and its insatiable need for technology," said Jay McBain, Canalys Chief Analyst. "This provides tremendous opportunities for MSPs that serve this sector. Pax8 continues to transform the channel ecosystem with its Marketplace and technology advancements, enabling partners to revolutionize how they deliver solutions and services to their customers."
With its AI-powered insights, modern UX, and comprehensive partner enablement tools, the new Pax8 Marketplace is poised to reshape how MSPs deliver cloud solutions to their SMB customers worldwide. As Libby McIlhany stated, "We are just getting started with our Marketplace innovations."
