The Smart Partner Program

The objective of Smart Software’s partner program is to develop close working relationships with organizations that complement our strengths and are interested in offering their customers a unique set of forecasting and planning capabilities. Potential partners include software developers, systems integrators, resellers, consultants and other organizations that provide products or services for the ERP/DRP or Supply Chain Management marketplace.

If your company is looking for comprehensive demand forecasting, demand planning and inventory optimization solutions, we encourage you to consider our flagship product, SmartForecasts® Enterprise. It can broaden your firm’s portfolio of capabilities with

• A time- and customer-tested set of robust forecasting solutions.
• Patented technology for accurate intermittent demand planning.
• Accurate estimates of safety stock levels and service level inventory requirements.
• Powerful promotion planning and management functionality.
• Fast and direct integration with major corporate databases, as well as ERP and SCM systems developed by partner organizations.

Smart Software is looking for dynamic, aggressive partners that want to work with us to deliver major business benefits to our mutual customers. While we’re interested in partners doing business in a variety of industries, we have particular interest and experience in the following markets:

• Automotive and Aerospace
• Consumer Products
• Food and Beverage
• Healthcare
• Hospitality and Services
• High-Tech and Electronics
• Industrial Tools and Equipment
• Pharmaceuticals and Chemicals
• Service/Spare Parts
• Utilities and Communications

If you are interested in a business partnership, here are some of the ways we can work together:

Lead Referral Partner
Lead Referral Partners introduce Smart Software solutions to their sales prospects and customers, and refer interested leads directly to Smart Software. Smart Software then takes over the sales and support process. Referral Partners receive finder’s fees for those referrals that eventually purchase SmartForecasts.

Reseller Partner
Reseller Partners distribute Smart Software products and provide complete pre-sales and sales services, including the ability to fully demonstrate the capabilities of our products. They receive a margin on each product sale, but rely on Smart Software to help customers with product training, associated business consulting, and implementation and integration services.

Solution Provider Partner
Solution Provider Partners sell, implement, and support Smart Software products (often together with their own application solutions that complement SmartForecasts) but without the direct involvement of Smart Software. Solution Providers receive a margin on the product sale, and are also able to generate additional revenue by providing any product training, associated consulting, and/or implementation and integration services that may be required for Smart’s products.

OEM Partner
OEM Partners are interested in including SmartForecasts’ forecasting and planning capabilities in their own software products. This is normally accomplished via a licensing agreement that enables the OEM Partner to utilize certain elements of the SmartForecasts system in its software products on a “private label” basis.
