Channelscaler helps B2B companies grow partner revenue faster and more profitably with its comprehensive PRM and Partner Program Automation Platform

Channel Mechanics + Allbound, two established leaders in the Partner Relationship Management (PRM) and Channel Program Automation space, today announced the successful completion of their merger. The unified entity will now operate under the new brand, Channelscaler. 

Welcoming the company’s announcement to create an additional 50 highly skilled positions to support market demand for its platform, Galway based Minister Hildegarde Naughton said "Galway's reputation for a highly trained and skilled workforce continues to attract significant investment, as evidenced by Channelscaler's job announcement today. Having witnessed the company’s incredible journey and seeing their ambitious growth plans I have no doubt they will continue to put Galway on the map as the global leader in channel automation software."

This strategic rebrand marks a significant milestone, combining the strengths and expertise of both companies. Channelscaler represents a shared vision for the future of partner program execution: intelligent, integrated, and built to scale. 

“Today marks a significant milestone as we go to market under a unified brand uniting two incredible companies,” said Kenneth Fox, CEO, Channelscaler. This isn’t just a name change, it’s a statement of intent. We’re combining intuitive partner engagement with enterprise-grade automation to deliver what channel leaders need most: the platform, data, and insights to scale partner revenue - with confidence and clarity.

Speaking at the announcement, Anne Lanigan, Divisional Manager for Technology & Services at Enterprise Ireland, said,“Enterprise Ireland has worked closely with Channelscaler since 2011 and we warmly welcome today’s expansion and rebrand announcement. Channelscaler’s success and growth in the space of channel sales highlights Ireland’s position as an international hub for innovation. As part of our new five-year strategy, Enterprise Ireland’s ambition is to accelerate sustainable Irish business with globally focused businesses like Channelscaler becoming the primary driver of the economy. Enterprise Ireland looks forward to working with the team to continue to support their growth ambitions as they expand their customer base internationally whilst continuing to create jobs here in Galway.”

In 2024, global trade reached an all-time high of $33 trillion, with indirect revenue accounting for greater than 70% of all purchases according to Canalys. Recognizing this immense and growing opportunity, Channelscaler, backed by Invictus Growth Partners, is dedicated to empowering companies that sell to, through, and with partners to take advantage of this opportunity. Creating a frictionless channel and streamlining partner program delivery enables businesses to thrive in this ecosystem driven economy.

“This is a better-together combination, creating a robust partner management platform that scales from small SaaS companies to Fortune 100 global powerhouses.  With US$7.46 billion in channel software revenue in 2024, and a projected US$13.48 billion by 2028, this growth highlights the crucial role of automation and data-driven decision-making in partnership success.” - Jay McBain, Chief Analyst – Channels, Partnerships & Ecosystems, Canalys

Channelscaler creates competitive advantage for its customers across every stage of the partner lifecycle. It delivers measurable ROI by simplifying partner operations, accelerating indirect revenue and reducing cost of channel sales.

“We drove the consolidation of Allbound and Channel Mechanics because we saw immense potential in their combined strengths to set the standard for excellence in channel sales software. This strategic rebrand to Channelscaler aligns with the company’s mission to power partnerships and deliver ROI for our customers" said John DeLoche, Co-Founder & Managing Partner, Invictus Growth Partners.
