AUTOMATED AFFILIATE REPORTING
Affiliate reporting shouldn’t take days every month.
Multiple networks, complex commissions, tenancy deals, cancellations – affiliate reporting is a manual nightmare. Bright Analytics automates the extraction, standardises the data, and calculates commissions so you can report daily without manual effort.
Challenges
Data scattered across networks
Each affiliate platform has its own reporting format, export process, and data structure. Consolidating it all takes hours.
Complex commission calculations
Different rates for different affiliates, subscription types, products – calculating what you actually owe is a spreadsheet nightmare.
Tenancy deals and overrides
Fixed-cost placements, network overrides, time-limited bonus payments – none of this fits neatly into standard reporting.
Multi-currency chaos
Running programmes across markets means juggling currencies and exchange rates in every report.
Cancellation adjustments
When transactions get cancelled, you’re manually updating networks and recalculating commissions after the fact.
The Hidden Cost
Hours burned on spreadsheets
Your team spends days each month on data extraction and reconciliation instead of programme optimisation.
Reporting lag
Monthly reporting means you’re always looking backwards. By the time you see a problem, it’s weeks old.
Error risk
Manual calculations and copy-paste workflows mean mistakes creep in – and commission errors damage partner relationships.
Solutions
Automated data extraction
Direct API connections to Awin, Adtraction, TradeDoubler, and Cake. Transaction data pulls automatically – no manual exports.
Commission logic in the data model
Define your rates, rules, and exceptions once. The system calculates commissions automatically, including affiliate-specific and product-specific rates.
Tenancy and override handling
Fixed-cost deals, network overrides, bonus payments – all built into the model and allocated correctly.
Multi-currency standardisation
All costs, commissions, and revenues converted to your reporting currency automatically.
Daily refresh
Stop waiting for month-end. See yesterday’s transactions, commissions, and performance today.
