The problem

MDF is powerful — and consistently wasted

Most MDF programmes can't answer the one question that matters: what pipeline did this spend create? Funds go unclaimed, get spent on low-impact activity, and generate results nobody attributes back to the budget. At review time, the programme can't prove its value — so it's the first line questioned.

The MDF Intelligence Platform was developed from two decades of insight into exactly where MDF programmes break down, where pipeline attribution goes unmeasured, and where partner potential is overlooked. It's not a theoretical tool — it's the software a vendor-side practitioner wished existed.

Features

Everything you need to run MDF as a growth engine

Four core capabilities that turn fund management from admin into accountable investment.

MDF tracking & management

A single view of fund allocation, claims and utilisation across partners and markets — so nothing goes unclaimed or untracked.

Pipeline attribution

Connect MDF-funded activity to the pipeline and revenue it generates, by partner, activity and market. Turn ROI from a guess into a number.

AI-powered recommendations

Guidance on where to allocate the next pound of MDF for the best return, learned from your programme's own performance data.

Campaign playbooks

Proven, repeatable through-partner campaign templates partners will actually run — so funds drive activity that converts.

Pipeline attribution

From “we spent the budget” to “here's the pipeline it built”

The platform's core job is attribution: linking every funded activity to the partner-sourced and partner-influenced pipeline it produced. That single capability changes the conversation — MDF stops being a cost to defend and becomes an investment to scale.

  • See ROI by partner, activity and market
  • Spot which playbooks convert and which don't
  • Reallocate funds to what actually works

Who it's for

MDF Intelligence Platform — FAQ

MDF software helps technology vendors, distributors and resellers manage Market Development Funds — allocating funds, processing claims, capturing proof-of-performance and, ideally, attributing the pipeline that funded activity generates. The MDF Intelligence Platform focuses heavily on that last part: attribution and AI-guided optimisation.
