Number of Seats/Users: Sidetrade Network offers discounts based on the number of users or seats. A higher volume typically leads to a better discount structure, especially for enterprise-level usage.

Commitment to a Long-Term Contract: Discounts are often provided to companies that commit to using the service for a longer period (e.g., 1-year or 3-year contracts). A longer commitment shows Sidetrade Network that the company is serious and willing to invest in the platform long-term.

No Active Discounts: Companies that are not already receiving other active discounts may have a better chance of qualifying for additional discounts from Sidetrade Network. Sidetrade Network reserves discounts for new customers or those not currently under promotional pricing.

Volume or Usage Commitment: Sidetrade Network offers discounts if you agree to a minimum amount of usage or transaction volume. This could be based on data storage, transactions, or other metrics tied to how much you will use the platform.

Enterprise-Level Negotiation: Companies that qualify as “enterprise” due to their size or complexity (e.g., having large teams, multiple departments, or geographical presence) may be eligible for additional discounts from Sidetrade Network. Such companies are often in a position to negotiate for better pricing.

Early Renewal or Prepayment: Sidetrade Network often offers discounts if you renew early or prepay for the entire contract period. This is a common approach to securing a lower price.

Here at Spendbase our internal data shows that Sidetrade Network is generally seen very positively by our clients, especially for making AR and credit control more efficient and structured.

Key themes our Spendbase clients highlight:

1. Efficiency & process improvement
   – Sidetrade “makes your AR and credit control processes more efficient and stream lined.”
   – Managers and collectors find that “credit control has never been that easy” once processes are set up.
   – Teams appreciate having one place to manage collections, disputes, and follow‑ups.

2. Results & business impact
   – Clients report that the tool “helps to achieve results,” especially in accelerating cash collection and improving visibility on overdue accounts.
   – The AI‑driven recommendations (which Sidetrade brands as Aimie) are perceived as helpful in prioritizing actions that lead to payments.

3. Implementation & setup notes
   – A recurring insight is that it “takes time to decide which information will be useful.”
   – Involving the team early in defining sub‑statuses and workflows is seen as critical for adoption.
   – Some Spendbase clients only have partial modules (for example, lacking full Cash and Financial coverage), which limits the value they can comment on and benefit from.

4. Training & change management
   – Several comments point out that the product is “good to use” but “need better training, and be more rigid” in process enforcement.
   – Users who invest in upfront training and clear internal rules tend to report smoother daily use and better results.

How this translates into Spendbase insights and discount strategy:

• Our internal data shows that teams who activate more Sidetrade modules (collections, credit risk, disputes, analytics, forecasting) get higher ROI and are more satisfied.
• The biggest friction points relate to onboarding and configuration, not core functionality. When negotiating, it’s often worth asking for:
• Enhanced onboarding or admin training bundles
• Support for custom workflow design
• Commercial incentives for expanding into additional modules

In short, Spendbase clients see Sidetrade Network as a strong AR automation platform that pays off when fully adopted, thoughtfully configured, and backed by proper training.
