About Reditus

Reditus is a software platform that connects software-as-a-service (SaaS) companies with affiliates to help them generate recurring revenue through affiliate marketing.

The platform was founded by Joran Hofman, who previously worked at Leadfeeder, a Helsinki-based SaaS startup. At Leadfeeder, Hofman regularly received customer questions asking which tools they should use besides Leadfeeder.

To help answer this question, Hofman created a website called SalesLossMarketing that listed the top sales and marketing tools. He grew the site to 25,000 organic visitors per month and wanted to monetize it through affiliate marketing.

However, managing affiliate programs for 80+ software tools became a hassle. Hofman had to log into multiple portals, track different commission structures, and deal with fraud.

This experience led Hofman to create Reditus – a unified platform that allows SaaS companies to manage their affiliate programs easily and enables affiliates to access multiple programs through one dashboard.

The Challenge for Expandi

Like many SaaS companies, Expandi was struggling to acquire new customers efficiently. Paid advertising costs were rising, and organic traffic was challenging to generate.

Expandi needed to find cost-effective and scalable new customer acquisition channels. They decided to test out affiliate marketing through the Reditus platform.
