Ensuring your target markets are continuously seeded and your partners are trained up on your latest product offers is critical to future revenue streams.

A Not for Resale (NFR) program provides generous discounts on products used in non-revenue generating activities for internal use, in your demo and lab environments, or to use for training purposes.

Our NFR module gives you the capability to design, launch, manage and measure demo programs in real time. As a vendor, ensuring partners are both knowledgeable and in a position to showcase your products or services, is of critical importance.

Offering a world class Not for Resale (NFR) program gives your channel partners’ technical teams hands-on experience of your products and gets those products into a demo environment to support customer consideration.

A well designed and well executed NFR program will ensure all partners get their correct allocation of units or budget for new products ahead of market launch. This approach drives accelerated product adoption across all partners and end customers and enables Vendors to maximize revenue on new products. Having the tools and systems in place to manage the NFR program eliminates program abuse, ensuring no margin erosion and providing all partners with their fair share of new units.
