Why brokers

Unlocking value for retailers and brokers

Brokers expand your reach by connecting with thousands of businesses, and bring expertise in tariffs, trade effluent, and multi-site deals.

  • For retailers

    Faster deals, lower acquisition costs, and happier customers.

  • For brokers

    More credibility, commission, and stronger long-term partnerships.

Edge Broker Module

Accuracy, speed and scale in one platform

At Cloudwater, we’ve gone a step further.

The Edge Broker Module gives brokers

  • Live market data
  • Instant quoting
  • Electronic contract signing
  • Automated commission calculations
Summary results on a broker quotation: retail charge, discount, wholesale charge, LP annualised margin and an arrangement fee based on the broker commission rate
Broker profiles

Broker setup and management

Each broker profile can include:

  • Broker Title
  • Registration Number
  • Assigned Tariffs
  • Maximum Margins and Discounts
  • Commission Method (Revenue or Margin based)
  • Commission Rates
  • Daily Search Limits
  • Payment in Advance Options (N/A, 1 or 2 months)

Secure logins

Broker users

Brokers can assign their own users with secure login credentials. This setup reduces LP admin while enabling brokers to operate more independently and effectively.

Each user gets access to a streamlined version of Edge, allowing them to:

  • Search Market Data for Scotland, England, or both
  • Create and prepare customer quotations
  • Adjust margins and commission levels (within limits)
  • Save, download, or email quotations directly to customer

Quotations

Integrated quotation workflow

  1. Stored in Edge

    Every broker quotation is automatically stored in the Edge Quotation Module. LPs see all quotations, while brokers see only their own.

  2. Tracked through its lifecycle

    Quotations pass through full lifecycle stages: Preparation → Review → Sending → Signing → Direct Debit Approval.

  3. Handed over automatically

    Once signed and approved, Edge automates account setup, SPID transfers, and billing handovers.
