Who we partner with
Six kinds of partners, one shared standard
Whether you refer a client, co-service a location, or supply equipment, our partner programs are built to make the relationship easy to run and profitable to maintain.
Facility Management Firms
Add vending route service to your managed-services portfolio without adding headcount. We white-label our reporting under your brand.
Equipment Manufacturers
Get warranty-compliant service performed in the field by technicians trained on your equipment. We handle the end customer relationship.
Coffee & Micro-Market Suppliers
Bundle your product supply with our route service. We restock, service, and report on your equipment as part of our scheduled visits.
Independent Vending Operators
Need overflow coverage or a partner in a market you do not serve? Our Service Alliance lets you subcontract routes without losing the client relationship.
Technology & Telemetry Vendors
We install, configure, and support cashless readers and DEX telemetry on client machines. Integration partnerships get preferential scheduling.
Why partner with us
A partner program built for the long term, not the pitch meeting
Most partner programs are designed to extract leads and vanish. Ours is designed to keep the client, keep you informed, and keep paying as long as the account stays active. No clawbacks after 90 days, no arbitrary commission reductions, no "strategic account" exceptions that quietly disappear.
- Recurring revenue share paid monthly, not just on the first invoice
- Named partner manager assigned within 48 hours of approval
- Co-branded reporting available for facility management and property partners
- Direct escalation line for client issues — no submitting tickets into a queue
- Quarterly partner performance reviews with revenue and retention data
- No exclusivity requirements, no minimum volume, no upfront fees

How partnership works
From application to first commission in four steps
Submit application
Complete the partner form with your company details, territory, and preferred program. Most applications are reviewed the same day.
Partner onboarding
A 30-minute call with your assigned partner manager to align on client handoffs, reporting cadence, and program terms.
Client handoff
When you refer a client, we schedule the site survey and keep you copied on every step. You control the introduction pace.
Monthly payout
Recurring share paid on the first of every month, with a commission statement showing every active account and its revenue.
Partner testimonial
We manage sixteen commercial properties across Montgomery and Prince George's counties. Vending Route Hub has been our route partner for four years and they have never once let a machine sit out of service. Our tenants do not know their name — they know ours. That is exactly what we want in a service alliance.
Partner questions
What partners ask before signing
How is the 15% recurring share calculated?
Referral share is calculated on net collected revenue from the account you referred — after any client discounts but before our internal route costs. Payment is made monthly on the first business day following our normal invoicing cycle. You receive a commission statement that shows each active account, its monthly revenue, and your share.
Do I have to sign an exclusivity agreement?
No. We do not require exclusivity at any tier. You can refer clients to multiple vending route providers, and you can maintain your own route operations in markets we serve. We ask only that any client we service through your referral be managed by us for the duration of the referral term — which is standard for any service partnership.
What does white-label really mean for Service Alliance partners?
When we service an account under your brand, every client-facing communication carries your company name — service tickets, monthly reports, dispatch confirmations, and phone greetings. Our technicians arrive in unmarked vehicles or in vehicles wrapped with your branding if volume justifies it. Your client never sees the Vending Route Hub name unless you tell them.
What happens if a referred client cancels?
If a referred client cancels within the first 90 days, your referral share for that account ends at cancellation and no further payments are made. If they cancel after 90 days, you keep the referral share for the full 36-month window even if the account was active for fewer months — we treat 90 days as the qualifying threshold.
Can I refer a client outside the Mid-Atlantic?
Yes, but only in markets where we can dispatch. Currently we service Maryland, DC, Virginia, and Delaware. For clients outside our footprint, we can occasionally arrange an extended coverage plan — talk to your partner manager about specific locations before promising service.
Do you offer co-marketing support?
For Preferred Vendor and Service Alliance partners, yes. We co-develop case studies, joint web content, and shared conference materials. For Referral Partners, we provide co-branded collateral you can use in your own client conversations, including brochures, one-pagers, and a co-branded landing page on request.
Is there any cost to join any program?
No. All three programs — Referral, Service Alliance, and Preferred Vendor — are free to join and free to maintain. There are no onboarding fees, no annual membership dues, and no minimum referral or volume requirements. Our business model is simple: when you bring us revenue, we share it.
How quickly are applications reviewed?
Most applications are reviewed within one business day. Service Alliance and Preferred Vendor applications include a short qualification call with our partner team, typically scheduled within 48 hours of submission. Referral Partner applications are usually approved the same day they are received.
