Partner Operations

DEX is built as a single web interface so that work can be tracked and trusted regardless of where a partner is physically based — a freelancer's laptop and a large enterprise delivery team are accountable in exactly the same way.

The DEX Time Sheet​

Implementation partners are required to use the DEX Time Sheet for every project. This is not optional for new implementation partners.

To start work on a project, an implementation partner must:

  1. Download and install the DEX Time Sheet app.
  2. Add the project they're working on.
  3. Complete facial verification (biometric check-in).
  4. Sign in using a QR code.
  5. Confirm geolocation.

Only after these steps can logged hours count, and payment of the implementation commission is contingent on time sheet compliance.

Existing, already-onboarded delivery staff are not retroactively forced onto this process — but it is mandatory for new implementation partners going forward.

Payment mechanics​

  • Payment is delivery-upon-payment: there is no advance, no down payment, and no salary structure (weekly or monthly).
  • Commission is released once the project is in production and the client has paid — typically net-30 from that point.
  • All commission splits (where multiple partners share a role) are recorded against the project in the partner CRM before payment is processed.

The DEX Project Sandbox​

Partners — particularly implementation partners — get hands-on access to a DEX sandbox to build and test, separate from a live client environment. This is where partners are certified and where new project work begins before promotion to a client-facing build.

What Colakin provides — the four support pillars​

Every partner is backed by a dedicated Partner Success team across four areas:

  1. DEX platform access — the complete platform for idea validation, workflow and documentation generation, and (for implementation partners) full build access.
  2. CRM & lead management — lead tracking, pipeline management, email campaigns, meeting booking; the Colakin team joins partner meetings on request.
  3. Marketing enablement — brochures, case studies, use cases, demo videos, presentations, and website content, all in Colakin's partner theme and licensed for the term of your agreement.
  4. Technical & sales support — architecture and solution assistance, joint product demos and sales calls, and ongoing technical support from a dedicated partner success team.

Company-level setup (for partner organizations)​

If you're onboarding as a company rather than an individual:

  1. Register your company in the partner CRM.
  2. Add your employees as users.
  3. Each employee completes self-registration, including their QR code and biometric setup.
  4. Employees check in/out per project through the DEX Time Sheet exactly as an individual partner would.
