Partner programme

Add a data layer to your clients' collection programmes.

Our platform records every item a customer hands back in store. Product, condition, and customer email. Partners bring this to their retail clients.

For recyclers & logistics

You run the collection.

For recyclers, processors, and logistics operators with retail clients.

What you get

Your service now includes item-level data.

Retail clients get a verified record of every product collected, ready for their ESG reporting. It sets your service apart when contracts come up for renewal.

Structured intake data.

You know what is in the box before it arrives. Box tracking, automated weight allocation, and store-level billing reports are included.

A client offer at no extra cost.

You can give your retail clients the free Tier 1 programme under your own branding.

Commercials

One account setup fee, then one flat monthly fee. This covers all your retail clients, all product types, and unlimited stores. Email partnerships@utilitarian.world for the detail.

We never contact your retail clients directly. You remain the seller. The platform is a service you offer your clients. The partnership agreement covers this.

Want to earn fees on paid tiers as well? Complete certification and add the adviser role.

Partner questions

Q1. What is the difference between a referral fee and margin share?

A referral fee is paid when you introduce a retailer who activates a paid programme. We close and service the account. Margin share applies when you sell the platform yourself and manage the client relationship. It pays ongoing margin on subscription revenue. Most partners start with referrals.

Q2. Why does certification come before any fee?

Referrals carry commercial expectations. Certification means you know what the platform does and does not do before you introduce it to a client. It is short and practical.

Q3. What client data can partners access?

Access is governed by our Data Processing Agreement. The retailer is the data controller and Utilitarian is the data processor. Partners receive scoped access under technical controls that exclude customer personal data and quarantined images. All partner access is audit-logged. The same controls apply to every partner type.

Q4. How do you stop two partners pursuing the same client?

Deal registration. You register a target account in the partner portal and it is protected for a defined period. A list of house accounts is shared at onboarding.

Q5. Which product categories does the platform support?

Shoes are ready now. Batteries are available on request. If your client collects a category we have not deployed yet, contact us.
