Discover your RouteLink Path Part 2 – Authorized Distributor

Jul 31, 2019

One size does NOT fit all – especially when it comes to accessing Toll-Free call routing data. Every organization is different, as are their business needs. That’s why RouteLink – the new, modern way to gain access to authoritative Toll-Free Routing data direct from the SMS/800 Toll-Free Number (TFN) Registry – was developed with different subscription types to address the varying objectives. In our latest blog series, we’ll take an in-depth look at each of the different subscription models and help you decide which option best suits your needs.

For Part 2 of this three-part series, we’ll show you how you can offer Toll-Free routing data to YOUR customers as a RouteLink Authorized Distributor.

Similar to the Direct Subscriber subscription model, as an Authorized Distributor, you’ll gain direct access to Toll-Free routing data from Somos, the authoritative source for routing data direct from the SMS/800 TFN Registry. Unlike Direct Subscribers; however, who are the sole users of the data they download, as an Authorized Distributor, you have the ability to license copies of RouteLink’s Toll-Free routing data to your customers.

Diversify and increase your revenue stream when you add RouteLink to your service offerings. Authorized Distributors have two different ways in which they can provide RouteLink to their customers: either as part of a bundled service or as a standalone query-based service. Through a bundled service, an Authorized Distributor may provide a full copy of the routing data to their customer for a fixed fee. In the query-based model, the Authorized Distributor receives the Toll-Free routing data from Somos and distributes this data to their customers on a per query basis. Our exclusive licensing agreement will help you open the door to a whole new, profitable source of income.

If you are Network Operator that distributes routing data; a company that provides least cost routing (LCR) solutions to Network Operators or other type of business that offers routing data, the Authorized Distributor can provide an excellent opportunity to expand your business with access to Toll-Free routing data. Additionally, customers of RouteLink Authorized Distributors will reap the benefits of your services when they capture high value through simplified access to the Toll-Free routing data and analytics.
