*To be considered for a listing in the directory Cin7 requires you to refer at least three shared customers. After meeting the requirements, you will be sent an invite to be listed in the Partner Directory. For the specific requirements, please reach out to your Partner Manager.
These partners refer leads to Cin7. Referral Partners perform the lead generation service role by providing leads for new clients to Cin7.
Implementation Partners or Certified Integrator (CI) partners recommend our product to their client base, but use the software implementation as a business opportunity to quickly grow their own revenue and profitability.
Certified Integrator partners also recommend our product to their client base but use the on-boarding project and other services (e.g. Cin7 integration with other systems) as a business opportunity. A Cin7 CI can perform three distinct service roles:
ISV are technology systems providers serving SME markets with specialist professional services, business functions, cloud services, and/or application integration capabilities.
ISVs provide a solution, service, or an app that integrates into Cin7 (via API) and complements Cin7 functionality for Cin7 subscribers. ISVs may also do custom build and integration work via API protocols for external functionality, which is out of scope for Cin7. ISVs are expected to extend all support for their products and services directly to the customer which includes but not limited to quoting, delivering of services, and post-live support.
ISVs are eligible for referral commission if a lead is referred to Cin7 and the customer signs up with Cin7.

All partners will be opted in to all email communications in order to be in sync with all product and company updates.

The Cin7 Omni Partner Portal contains confidential information – appropriate use of the confidential and proprietary information should be treated as such. Partners are to be cognizant of the content they are able to share. All confidential information is labeled as such.
The Content & Resources tab in the Cin7 Omni Partner Portal is designed to educate new partners on Cin7 Omni workflows, integrations, and other software training. The factsheets, playbooks, whitepapers, at-a-glance documents, and guides are for internal use when noted, unlike the case studies, which we encourage you to share with your clients and network. All customer facing documents will be labeled as such.
All customer leads from any partner should be logged in the Cin7 Partner Portal (for both Core and Omni). This allows for tracking of the leads and assistance from our internal teams. If you need any assistance, please contact your Partner Manager. Please note: you must register all leads in the Cin7 Partner Portal to be eligible for commission.

One of the most exciting benefits of being a Cin7 partner is the opportunity to co-market to serve more product sellers and grow your business. Co-marketing at Cin7 is designed to craft valuable and useful content for our joint audiences by sharing the responsibilities and benefits that are involved in marketing campaigns. Before any co-marketing takes place, it is required that partners meet the eligibility requirements to pursue the requested activity, receive approval from their partner manager, and partner marketing team. No co-marketing activities should be without approval and review from Cin7 and the product family partner team.
Examples of co-marketing opportunities (not limited to):
Cin7 can supplement and/or lead co-marketing efforts. Our main goal is to create educational and thought-leadership materials that serve product sellers to enhance their inventory management practices and tool set. If your team has the expertise and resources to work with us on a co-marketing campaign please review the requirements section and reach out to your partner manager.
Cin7 has in-house staff who can provide technical support, on-boarding, and key account management to the partner and clients. We can, in certain cases, also provide onsite professional services for consultation. This partnership approach yields stronger relationships, increased customer referrals, and improved customer satisfaction.
Please note that, as a partner, you are not permitted to share your Partner Managers contact information with your customers in regards to support tickets. If you need a ticket to be escalated, you may let your Partner Manager know, but please keep in mind that the Partner Managers are not support staff and cannot assist in technical help for your customers. If you are engaging your Partner Manager for an escalation on a customer’s ticket, please provide the ticket number(s) in question and a short description of the issue for quicker resolution.
