2 Explore your three revenue paths

Each path is a different way CadentsIQ adds revenue — and they stack. Start with whichever fits your business, adjust its inputs below, and your combined opportunity adds up in the summary at the bottom.

A EOS/EOL hardware deals

CadentsIQ flags end-of-life assets so your team can drive refresh & replacement sales.

Adds / yr ↓ adjust —
B Recurring SaaS resale

Resell CadentsIQ as a managed service and keep recurring margin above wholesale.

Adds / yr ↓ adjust —
C Referral commission

Refer customers straight to Cadents and earn commission with zero delivery cost.

Adds / yr ↓ adjust —
EOS/EOL-driven hardware deals
CadentsIQ tracks every asset and surfaces end-of-life signals automatically. Your team converts those flags into refresh, replacement, and warranty conversations — conversations that currently aren't happening systematically.
Path A
% of assets hitting EOS/EOL per year 15%
i

Most hardware resellers see 10–20% of their installed base reach end-of-service in any given year — but without systematic tracking, those refresh conversations go to competitors or never happen at all.

% of EOS/EOL flags converted to a deal 25%
EOS/EOL flags surfaced per year —
New hardware deals unlocked / yr —
Incremental revenue (at avg. deal size) —

These are deals going to competitors or simply not happening because there's no systematic lifecycle signal. CadentsIQ surfaces them automatically from invoice data you already hold.

Recurring SaaS revenue on top of hardware
Offer CadentsIQ to customers as a managed lifecycle intelligence service. You set the end-customer price, own the relationship, and keep the margin above Cadents' wholesale rate. Each customer sees only their own assets; you see the full roll-up.
Path B
% of customers who take the service 30%
Your monthly charge per customer $500

Your gross ARR

Net margin (after wholesale)
—
≥35% floor guaranteed

Wholesale platform fee is fixed per customer-count tier. Every additional customer above the tier floor is nearly pure margin. The compounding effect kicks in as you grow the base.

Referral commission — zero delivery cost
For customers not ready for a VAS subscription, refer them to Cadents directly and earn commission on their first-year ARR. No delivery obligation, no support overhead. An acceleration uplift applies to multi-year deals closed in the first six months.
Path C
Referrals per year 5
Avg. CadentsIQ deal ARR $30,000
Commission rate (10% standard / 25% multi-year acceleration) 10%
Referral commission income / yr —

Standard rate is 10% of first-year ARR. If a referred customer signs a multi-year contract within the first six months of the partnership agreement, the rate rises to 25%.

These figures are estimates based on your inputs and are intended as a starting point for conversation, not a guarantee of results. The EOS/EOL conversion rate (Scenario A) is typically the highest-impact lever — most hardware resellers see 10–20% of installed base reaching end-of-service in any given year, but without systematic tracking, those conversations go to competitors or never happen at all. CadentsIQ surfaces them proactively from invoice data you already hold. Questions? Contact Julie Case, CEO · julie@cadents.com · cadents.com
