What this is not
This is not an ERP, MRP, CAD, BOM, or advanced CPQ system — it manages customer RFQs, quotes, follow-ups, and order handoff.
That sentence is on this page for a reason. The fastest way to lose a partner relationship is to let a consultant sell a customer something the product does not do. Read it, use it in your first meeting, and scope around it — the boundary is a feature of the engagement, not a gap you have to talk your way past.
Who this is for
Three kinds of partner, three different economics
We run one program with one tier ladder, but the motion is not the same for a five-person implementation shop as it is for a national ERP reseller or a trade association. Here is how each one works.
Implementation partners
Manufacturing-specialist consultancies and independent ERP implementers.
You already walk job shop floors, map a quoting process on a whiteboard, and get blamed when the go-live slips. You deliver KanchanFlow onboarding, data migration from spreadsheets and legacy CRMs, ERP integration on the order-handoff boundary, and role-based training for estimators, inside sales and the owner.
What you deliver
- Discovery and RFQ-process mapping before any configuration is touched
- Workspace configuration: cost buildup columns, margin guardrails, approval rules, territory tree
- Data migration from spreadsheets, shared inboxes and legacy CRM exports
- ERP order handoff wiring over the REST API or webhooks
- Role-based training and a 30-day post-go-live adoption check
Economics — Typical engagement is a 4-to-6 week implementation billed at your own day rate, plus the recurring referral share on the subscription for as long as the customer stays.
ERP resellers
Existing Epicor, NetSuite, Dynamics 365 Business Central, Infor, Acumatica, Syspro, SAP Business One and Odoo resellers.
Your ERP handles the shop floor, the routing, the inventory and the general ledger. It does not handle the twenty-two RFQs sitting in an estimator's inbox, the Rev 4 quote nobody followed up on, or the dealer who has gone quiet. KanchanFlow becomes the CRM layer in front of the ERP you already sell, and the handoff point is the accepted quote.
What you deliver
- A front-of-ERP CRM you can attach to a live account without re-opening the ERP contract
- Order handoff into the ERP at quote acceptance — we do not try to own routing, BOM or MRP
- A clean anti-position that avoids channel conflict with your ERP vendor
- Co-sell motion into your installed base rather than a cold-outbound program
Economics — Land on the existing account at $39–$49 per user per month with a 3-user minimum, then expand seat count as inside sales and dealer management move onto the platform.
Industry channel partners
Trade associations such as NAM and AMT, US MEP centers, industrial distributors and marketplace channels.
You reach thousands of small and mid-size manufacturers who are still quoting from spreadsheets. A channel arrangement gives your members or customers a manufacturing-specific CRM at a price a 12-person shop can approve, with member-rate onboarding and a named contact on our side.
What you deliver
- Member or customer offers, negotiated per agreement rather than published here
- Joint webinars and workshop content written for estimators, not for software buyers
- Co-branded RFQ and quoting educational material your members can actually use
- Event booth co-op at trade shows where your members already gather
Economics — Referral share on the subscription, or a flat channel arrangement where a revenue share is not appropriate for your organization type.
Why partner with us
Six reasons this is worth a slot in your practice
Not positioning. The specific things that make a KanchanFlow engagement land, close and renew.
Real product depth, not a thin CRM shell
WhatsApp Business API with template management, marketplace lead capture including IndiaMART, accounting connectors for Tally, Zoho Books and QuickBooks, payments through Razorpay and Stripe, thirteen AI agents that always route through human approval before anything leaves the building, and a native mobile app built for the shop floor. You are not selling a contact database with a manufacturing skin on it.
Land-and-expand pricing a shop owner signs off in one meeting
$39 per user per month on Starter with a three-user minimum, $49 on Professional. A first landing is a few hundred dollars a year, not a capital request. That matters when your buyer is a 55-year-old owner who has already been burned by a six-figure system that took eighteen months and never got used.
Sub-6-week standard implementation
Twelve pre-built manufacturing templates cover the common verticals, so a standard implementation runs under six weeks rather than the two-quarter slog an ERP module takes. Faster delivery means more engagements per consultant per year, and a reference you can name sooner.
Recurring revenue share, not a one-time bounty
Referral share is paid on year-one subscription revenue and again on every renewal, at the rate your tier earns. The renewal rate is deliberately close to the year-one rate because the partner who keeps a customer live is worth more to us than the partner who only made the introduction.
Priority technical access
MCP server SDK, REST API with a published rate limit, a maintained Postman collection, webhook documentation and a partner sandbox workspace that is separate from your customers' production data. Registered partners get sandbox access on approval, before the first deal closes.
Co-marketing that produces artifacts you can reuse
Joint case studies with quantified before-and-after numbers, joint webinars to your list and ours, and a trade-show booth split at Gold and above. Every asset carries your firm's name, not just ours.
Tiers
Four tiers, published requirements, published rates
Tier is set by verified performance, not by negotiation. Every benefit at a tier is inherited by the tiers above it.
| Tier | Minimum requirements | Benefits |
|---|---|---|
| Registered | Apply, reviewed and approved | Directory listing, technical docs, sandbox access, 15% year 1 / 10% renewal referral share |
| Silver | 5 paying customers referred + 1 certified consultant on staff | Above, plus 20% / 15%, quarterly partner webinar, priority support SLA |
| Gold | 15 paying customers + 2 certified consultants + 1 published case study | Above, plus 25% / 18%, dedicated partner success manager, co-marketing budget, trade-show booth co-op |
| Platinum | 40+ paying customers + 4 certified consultants + verified regional coverage | Above, plus 30% / 20%, joint go-to-market plan, exclusive geographic territories, roadmap input |
What the referral share is worth
The two right-hand columns work a single example all the way through: one referred Professional customer at 10 seats, $49 per user per month, billed monthly for twelve months. That is $5,880 of annual subscription revenue. Your own implementation and training fees are separate and are entirely yours — we take no cut of your services revenue.
| Tier | Year 1 share | Renewal share | Year 1 on the example account | Each renewal year |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Registered | 15% | 10% | $882 | $588 |
| Silver | 20% | 15% | $1,176 | $882 |
| Gold | 25% | 18% | $1,470 | $1,058 |
| Platinum | 30% | 20% | $1,764 | $1,176 |
Payouts run monthly in arrears once the customer's invoice is settled, and every accrual is visible in the partner portal against the invoice that generated it. A referral share that keeps paying on renewals only works if the customer stays live, which is the incentive we want a partner to have.
Certification
Two credentials, thirty hours, no fee
Certification is how a tier requirement gets met and how a customer checks a claim. Both tracks are included with an approved partner agreement.
20 hours
KanchanFlow Certified Implementer
The base credential. Twenty hours of online course, an exam, and one sandbox project delivered end to end. It certifies that you can configure a workspace, migrate a shop off spreadsheets and hand a live system to an estimator without our help.
- Prerequisite:
- None. Open to any employee of an approved Registered partner.
- Assessment:
- 80-question product exam (pass mark 80%) plus a delivered sandbox project reviewed by our team against a published rubric.
- Modules:
- 9
10 hours
KanchanFlow Certified Manufacturing Consultant
A further ten hours on top of the Implementer credential, covering the advanced surface: RFQ workflow design, CPQ boundaries, dealer and distributor management, e-invoicing and the immutable audit trail. This is the credential that counts toward Silver, Gold and Platinum tier requirements.
- Prerequisite:
- Certified Implementer, held and current.
- Assessment:
- Scenario-based exam with two written case responses, graded by a member of our team rather than auto-marked.
- Modules:
- 5

Program guardrails
The five rules we will not bend, published before you apply
A partner program is mostly a set of promises about conflict. These are ours, stated publicly so a prospect can hold us to them and so you know exactly what you can and cannot say in a sales meeting.
No territory exclusivity below Platinum
Exclusive geographic territory is a Platinum benefit only, and only under a signed contract that names the territory and the performance floor that keeps it. Nobody below Platinum has an exclusive anything, and we will say so plainly to any customer who asks.
No case study without customer approval and real numbers
We do not publish a case study until the named customer has approved the text in writing and the before-and-after numbers are quantified. No anonymous composites, no 'a leading fabricator', no percentage improvements without a stated baseline.
Deal registration is first-registered, first-served, 30-day validity
The first partner to register an opportunity holds it for 30 days. If it has not progressed in 30 days it reopens. This is how we prevent channel conflict, and it applies to us too: our own sales team respects an active registration.
Certification proves knowledge, not endorsement
A certified consultant has passed our exam and delivered a sandbox project. That is a statement about product knowledge. It is not a warranty of the firm's work, a guarantee of outcomes, or an endorsement by Soor LLC of anything else that firm sells.
No firms with exclusive commitments to directly competing vendors
If your firm is under an exclusivity agreement with a directly competing manufacturing CRM, we will decline the application. Reselling an ERP is not competing — being contractually bound to a rival CRM is. Tell us upfront; we would rather decline at application than unwind it later.
And the count nobody wants to publish
We have zero approved partners today. The directory is live and empty because the program opened with the Wave 1 launch. Every firm listed there later will have signed an agreement and approved its own listing in writing.
What we expect
What we ask of a partner
Short list, seriously enforced. Meeting it is what moves a firm up the ladder; ignoring it is what ends an agreement.
- Scope honestly against the anti-position — Never sell KanchanFlow as an ERP, MRP, CAD, BOM or advanced CPQ system. If the requirement is routing, inventory or shop-floor scheduling, say so and keep the ERP conversation clean.
- Register deals before you work them — Registration is how you get protection and how we avoid two partners in the same account. Thirty days, extendable with a progress note.
- Keep at least one certified consultant current — Required from Silver upward. Certification lapses annually and the portal warns you 60 days out.
- Represent tier and territory accurately — Say the tier you actually hold. Do not imply exclusivity you do not have, and never present certification as an endorsement of your firm.
- Get customer approval before publishing anything — Case studies, logos and named references need the customer's written approval and quantified before-and-after numbers. No composites, no anonymous claims.
- Disclose competing exclusivity upfront — If your firm is contractually bound to a directly competing manufacturing CRM, tell us at application. Reselling an ERP is not a conflict; an exclusive CRM commitment is.
- Hand over a system people actually use — Adoption at the 30-day check is what we look at, not the go-live date. Renewals pay you, so a system nobody opens costs you more than it costs us.
- Escalate before a go-live slips, not after — Silver and above have a partner-only support queue for exactly this. We would rather be in the room early than read about it in a churn note.
What the product gives you to sell
Product depth you can demo in the first meeting
A partner motion only works if the demo survives contact with an estimator. These are the surfaces that do the work.
RFQ intake to quote revision
Email intake with AI extraction into a structured RFQ, a 4-column cost buildup with margin guardrails and quantity breaks, a quote diff view across revisions, and unlimited revision history on every tier — including Starter.
WhatsApp Business API
Template management, per-tier included message volumes, and Meta cost pass-through with a published markup. For shops whose customers will answer a WhatsApp message and ignore an email, this is the whole deal.
Marketplace lead capture
Marketplace and web-form lead sources, including IndiaMART, deduplicated into the same RFQ pipeline as an emailed drawing package. One inbox for inbound demand instead of four.
Accounting and payments
Tally, Zoho Books and QuickBooks connectors, plus Razorpay and Stripe for payment collection. Professional and Enterprise include all three accounting connectors; Starter picks one.
AI agents with human approval
Thirteen agents across RFQ extraction, qualification scoring, quote risk, follow-up drafting and forecasting — every one of them routing through a human approval step before anything reaches a customer.
Native mobile app
Built for the shop floor and the truck, not a responsive web page in a wrapper. An owner approving a quote from a phone is the moment adoption usually sticks.
Technical partners get more than a demo login: an MCP server SDK, a REST API with published rate limits, a maintained Postman collection, webhook documentation and a sandbox workspace that is never mixed with a customer tenant. Sandbox access is granted at Registered, on approval, before your first deal closes.
Partner program questions
Nothing. There is no partner fee, no annual minimum purchase and no required inventory. The certification course, the exam, the sandbox and the technical resources are included with an approved partner agreement. We make money when your customer pays a subscription, which is the only arrangement that keeps our incentives pointed the same direction as yours.
