Spinpanel features

Spinpanel allows you to do license management for your end-customers without having to log in and out of each individual customer. License management within Spinpanel is an intuitive process that works through applying licenses and/or subscriptions to either individual users or groups. Allowing you to conduct license management for all customers from one central overview helps save time and thus, costs.

Spinpanel gives you as a partner the ability to grant end-customer the option to purchase licenses from you directly through the Spinpanel platform. End-customer can login to the Spinpanel platform, and will be presented with a catalog of services containing only services that you have made available to them. From this catalog end-customers can select licenses and subscriptions to purchase, which will be provisioned immediately without you having to lift a finger.

Spinpanel allows both resellers and distributors to set their own margins for products as well as specific customers. For example, a distributor can add a 15% margin to a product, and the reseller below this distributor can add their own margin percentage on top of that. The end-customer will pay the combined amount of the market price plus both margins. However, if a reseller would like to offer a better deal for one of their customers in particular, they will be able to set a margin that only applies to that specific customer.

Spinpanel uses Power BI Premium to offer extensive usage analytics, allowing you to collect, analyze, present, and visualize data regarding your CSP and Azure usage. Gain insight into the adoption of specific features, user engagement, product lifecycles, Azure consumption, computing environments, and more. All reports can be exported into CSV and XML formats. In addition, if you have certain report requirements we can built this report for you for a one-off additional charge.

Spinpanel allows you to add your own custom products to your Spinpanel service catalog. You can create custom bundles, and you can even add services from other providers. This is a great feature if you provide services outside of the Microsoft catalog and wish to include these in your invoice and billing cycle. These custom services are also included in cost reports.

SpinPanel uses the powerful reporting and analytics capabilities of Power BI to analyze and create interactive dashboards of your Office 365, Azure CSP and other services. Here you can find trend summary views and interactive charts, enabling you to analyze specific values of your spending insights.
Select top customers by revenue and check the profitability of your Office 365, Azure and other custom developed services.

SpinPanel also collects detailed usage of all Azure resources and properties. Even if you don’t deploy Azure services using SpinPanel, you will still have the ability to react and avoid unnecessary costs so you can maximize the value of your customer’s cloud investments.

The estimated costs of your customer’s CSP subscription, current spend and burn rate is displayed in charts as well as tabular reports. As a Microsoft CSP partner you can easily view dashboards and reports of multiple customers.

The cost reports generated by Spinpanel, in collaboration with your Microsoft invoice, can be exported in CSV format. The CSV file can be entirely customized to the specific columns and data you wish to have displayed. This means that any billing solution that allows for CSV import is compatible with Spinpanel.
