Cloud GTM platform for listings, private offers, and fulfillment on AWS, Azure, and GCP marketplaces.
Tackle is the established platform for selling software through the hyperscaler marketplaces. It abstracts the mechanics each cloud imposes — listing management, private offer creation and amendment, entitlement and fulfillment events, metered usage reporting, and disbursement reconciliation — behind one workflow layer, and syncs marketplace deal activity into Salesforce and other CRMs. It also operationalizes co-sell: sharing and tracking opportunities with AWS, Microsoft, and Google seller teams. ISVs use it to make marketplace and co-sell a scalable channel rather than a per-deal scramble.

Tackle effectively defined the cloud GTM category and carries the longest track record and deepest operational coverage across all three marketplaces, including the messy edges like offer amendments and payout reconciliation. Newer rivals compete on automation and price; Tackle's bet is breadth plus co-sell workflow maturity.
The cloud consoles work for a first listing and occasional offers. The case for tooling arrives with volume: many private offers a quarter, multiple clouds, usage metering obligations, and finance asking why marketplace disbursements do not match bookings. That operational load is what these platforms absorb.
The cloud becomes the merchant of record for those deals — it bills the customer and pays you net of fees. Your billing system still needs the contract and rev-rec picture, and usage-priced products must relay meter data to the marketplace APIs, which is a core part of what Tackle handles.
