Why PAD Solutions

Diagnostics built on real field experience.

Key Strengths

The solution that fits your needs.

Purpose-built for indirect sales

Channel management is a discipline in its own right, with its own processes, KPIs and constraints. The PAD Solutions diagnostics were designed specifically to assess the indirect strategies of software publishers, manufacturers and digital players — where generic frameworks miss the point.

Fits your maturity

Whether you're starting out in indirect sales or looking to professionalise it, PAD Solutions adapts through 4 complementary diagnostics. Each covers a distinct stage of channel maturity, from your first step to a full 360° review.

Built on 20+ years in the field

The diagnostics draw on PAD Consulting's proprietary methodology, forged over 20+ years of advisory work and 200+ engagements with publishers and manufacturers. Every question, every best practice addresses a genuine, field-validated need.

Swiss, eco-responsible hosting

PAD Solutions hosts its platform in a secure, eco-responsible datacentre in Switzerland. Full compliance with nFADP and GDPR. Data privacy and digital sovereignty go hand-in-hand: control over the technical and software layers that host and process your data.

PAD Solutions vs the alternatives

Why not just self-assess with a spreadsheet?

vs. A home-made spreadsheet

PAD Solutions brings a structured, weighted assessment grid drawn from the PAD Consulting methodology. Where a home-made spreadsheet only offers a partial, subjective view, the diagnostic produces an objective score, comparable over time and actionable.

vs. A one-off audit

An external audit is costly and rarely repeatable. PAD Solutions gives you the same methodological rigour, reusable at will to track your progress, and supported by our consultants whenever you need it.

vs. Gut feeling

Steering indirect sales on gut feeling means moving without a compass. PAD Solutions turns impressions into quantified gaps between importance and performance, so you prioritise on facts, not opinions.
