The commercial team behind your commercial team

We help you run your commercial operations, from the everyday store work to research on your biggest decisions. Our team works alongside yours, with data from 10,000+ titles behind every recommendation, and nothing goes live until you approve it.

IndieBI Core and IndieBI Pro. 70+ studios and publishers work with us this way.

The problem

Selling on every store is a lot of work.

Discounts, regional prices, etailer keys, launch prices and the questions your board asks all compete for the same few people. When one of them leaves or gets busy, the sale calendar is the first thing to slip.

What we hear from studios and publishers

  • Our commercial manager left, and the sale calendar left with them.
  • We have a deep back catalog and one person looking after it.
  • Our regional prices were set at launch, and nobody has looked since.
  • We're launching in spring and still don't know what to charge.
  • Our publisher wants a forecast, and nobody here has time to build it.

We take that work on with you, and your team decides what goes live.

How it works

In Partner Hub

Your part takes minutes: approve, or ask a question.

Every proposal from your IndieBI team lands in one feed, with the numbers behind it.

  • All in one place

    Discount plans, regional price reviews, reports and research, for every store you sell on.

  • Results one click away

    See how each approved change performed, next to the numbers behind it.

  • You stay in control

    Nothing goes live until you approve it. Ask a question right where the proposal is.

  1. We plan

    Your IndieBI team plans discounts, regional prices and retail work for the months ahead, from your sales and data on 10,000+ titles.

  2. You approve

    Your step

    Every proposal lands in Partner Hub with the numbers behind it. Approve it, change it or ask a question. Nothing goes live until you approve it.

  3. We set it live

    We set every approved change on every store, and you see its status in Partner Hub. Each month, a report shows what moved.

What our team takes on

Who it's for

Most teams call us when something changes

Someone leaves, the catalog outgrows the team, a release gets close, or a big decision lands on the table. That's usually when the commercial work needs more hands than the team has.

  • Someone just left, or the team got smaller

    The person who ran pricing and discounts has gone, or now has three jobs. We take on the store work, and your team keeps the decisions.

  • A deep back catalog, and a small team

    Every game and DLC needs its own sales and prices on every store. We plan every sale and keep every price up to date, so the back catalog keeps earning.

  • A release is coming

    Your price, regional prices, release window and forecast, settled before release day. Established studios that don't work with us yet can start here, and see how we work before choosing a plan.

  • A lot rides on every decision

    A hit to look after, a platform deal on the table or a parent company asking for numbers. IndieBI Pro adds an IndieBI consultant and our research team, with as many analyses as you need.

The service IndieBI provides is phenomenal. Having spent years in our industry, I know what good looks like. This is it.

Getting started

Give us an hour. We'll give you your weeks back.

Invite us to your storefronts and get back to making games. We build the data connections, check that everything flows, map your catalog, and come to the kickoff call with your numbers already on screen.

How we connect your stores

  1. Talk to us

    A call to get to know each other and talk through your catalog and goals.

  2. Get a proposal

    Afterward, we send you a proposal: where we'd start with your games, and the plan that fits.

  3. Connect your stores

    Your step

    Once you're on board, you add the IndieBI team to each store with our step-by-step guide. It takes about an hour, and you stay the account owner. We build the connections and map your catalog.

  4. Kickoff

    On the kickoff call, we walk you through your numbers and agree on priorities. First recommendations follow shortly after.
