You know the feeling as a Business Central partner. You're losing deals because customers want better reporting than you can currently deliver. Or you win them, but have to purchase and pre-finance licenses first—with all the risks and administrative hassle that comes with it.

Exsion365 flips that model: you earn 25% recurring margin from day one, without investing. No hassle with licenses, no support on your plate, no risk. Just margin.

In this blog, Thomas Werkhoven, Director of Exsion365, explains why Exsion365 deliberately chose this model and what it delivers for you as a Business Central partner.

Why you're losing deals (and how to prevent it)

You're losing deals now because customers expect more from reporting than what's available out of the box. They want fast, flexible insights without depending on IT. Power BI is perfect for dashboards, but too heavy for daily ad-hoc reporting. Building it yourself takes too much time. And other tools? You have to purchase, implement and support them first. That's exactly why Exsion365 works differently.

Exsion Reporting works in Excel and pulls live data from Business Central, so finance gets instant visibility without IT help. And here's the beauty: you can offer this without it costing you anything.

No financial risk, but monthly margin

As a partner, you don't just want a good reporting solution—you want zero hassle. That's why we've deliberately kept our business model simple. You don't need to purchase anything, pre-finance anything, or carry inventory.

When your customer activates the Exsion Reporting trial license, we start providing support. We build your customer's first report together with them. We don't charge for this, but the customer starts saving money from day one. Only after 60 days from when the report is created does the license start. They pay Exsion directly. You receive 25% margin every month. Customer cancels? The license stops immediately.

You don't need to write investment proposals or build break-even scenarios. You add Exsion to your portfolio and start earning from the first paying customer.

How it works in practice

Take 4PS, one of our most successful partners. They offer Exsion Reporting with their Business Central implementations. Their customers often start the same day. Support comes to us, not them. They earn monthly without deploying consultants—pure margin, without logging hours.

Arnold van der Werf, License Specialist at 4PS: "Exsion 365 helps our customers quickly extract and analyze data without complicated processes. Users simply keep working in Excel."

Partners tell us they sell Exsion more easily than other reporting tools because customers immediately get it.

No extra work for your team

Onboarding takes five minutes. Your customer installs the Excel plugin, connects it to Business Central, and can start immediately. No training needed, no manuals, no hours-long sessions.

We handle support. Updates happen automatically. Technical questions go straight to our support team. Your team stays available for acquisition and strategic customer conversations. Your customers are happy because they see quick results. You're happy because you have no work from it.

Why I do this

This model only works if your customer succeeds with Exsion Reporting. Our interests are aligned. We don't earn from inventory or licenses that sit unused. We only earn when your customer sees value every month.

I experienced this myself when I was still a controller at Van Wijnen. I wanted reporting that worked quickly, without depending on IT or a vendor who first forced me to purchase licenses. I wanted to save other controllers that frustration. That experience is now woven into how Exsion365 works with partners.
