Why BrandHive exists
A better way for small brands and independent reps to work together.
Why we exist
Plenty of capable salespeople want to work on their own terms: parents, semi-retired reps and people building a portfolio of brands they believe in. Small brands need that experience and those relationships to reach more shelves.
How we do it
Agents choose the brands they carry and manage their own patch. Brands control their catalogue, margins and customers. Both sides use one ledger for every order, commission and payout. The brand pays the agent directly.
What it is
BrandHive tracks orders, customers, territories, commissions and payouts for brands and independent agents across Australia and New Zealand. Agents pay $0. Brands pay a monthly subscription.
The problem
Rep channels still run on notepads, inboxes and stale spreadsheets.
Independent agents get specialty products into cafés, grocers and shops across Australia and New Zealand. Yet orders arrive in message threads, commission spreadsheets drift out of date, territories rely on memory and payouts arrive without a clear breakdown.
Brands struggle to see which products, agents and territories earn a margin. Agents have to chase the numbers behind their commission.
BrandHive puts the whole channel on one shared ledger.
Give your reps the catalogue. Get clean orders back.
Set the catalogue, prices, territories and commission rules once. Your reps write orders in the field, and each order lands with the margin and commission already calculated.
Carry the brands you rate. Build your own patch.
Keep every catalogue, order and commission in one app. Work in the field, see the commission before you send the order and track what each brand owes you. Agents pay $0.
Brand plans start at $0. Agents pay $0.
The software behind it
Keep the channel straight.
Orders, commissions, territories and payouts stay tied to the same record.
One connected channel
Orders, commissions and payouts in one ledger.
Keep orders, customers, commissions, territories and payouts together. Standing orders, templates and barcode scanning handle repeat business, while settlement closes the month with each agent's total ready to review.
Transparent by default
Both sides work from the same commission record.
Agents see commission calculate while they write the order. You see profit after cost by product, agent and territory. The rates come from the commission tiers you set.
How payment actually works →Built for the field, built for ANZ
Write the order at the counter, even without signal.
Offline orders stay on the phone and send when coverage returns. Agents can also log GPS visit notes, tasks and pipeline updates on the road. Xero integration and AU ABA or NZ direct-credit files handle the finance handoff.
From order to confirmed payout, on the record.

How money moves
BrandHive records the payout. Your bank moves the money.
An agent's commission accrues when an order is confirmed. The brand approves it, runs settlement, exports an ABA or NZ direct-credit file and pays the agent from its own bank. The brand marks the payout paid, then the agent confirms receipt or flags a problem.
BrandHive never holds the funds. It keeps one payout record that both sides can check.
The agent writes the order.
