Companies frequently look for a partner who can provide them with customized services. Partner Program was created to enable our partners to fully utilize key modules to gain greater insights. Your dedicated account manager will adapt all software, hardware, support, and other modules to your specific needs.
As a service partner, you get access to build, manage and deploy the solutions along with other specific modules on behalf of authorized OEM partner. We understand that each partner has different needs, for example, device suppliers’ core business is exclusively centered on hardware; similarly, software partners may not be interested in solutions that contain hardware-related services. Being a service partner, you may want to limit services to test solutions before offering to your customers. Therefore, you can explore our IoTConnect platform via DevLab and understand the working of different modules like templates, devices, solutions, etc., as well as leverage our AppConnect module to create use-case specific solutions and add unique features to enhance them before offering final solutions to your customers.
IoTConnect DevLab
On our robust IoT platform, you can try out several functionalities like user administration, device management, template management, and more. Since an entity with your OEM partner’s company name will already exist in IoTConnect DevLab, you can quickly add or manage new entities as needed.
The goal of DevLab is to enable our partners to test run their solutions by creating a PoC/PoV or demo before deploying a genuine one. This will help you avoid errors and time to fix during the final deployment.
To learn more about IoTConnect features, you can refer our user guides.
AppConnect
This module of DevLab allows you to leverage use case specific solutions that are readily deployed on our IoTConnect platform.
There are two options available to choose from:
- Subscribe – you can get access to the demo of the solution to check its functionalities
- Customize – you can create your own solution by deploying the functionalities of the solution offered by Partner Program

Software Product
The process of adding and managing software products on Partner Program is crucial. You may add new software products, modify product details, build an environment for your products, as well as add subscription plans for them and much more. Build a product using associated modules as below:
Create Environment
An environment is nothing more than a specific instance of a product. After you’ve defined the product, you’ll need to create an environment for it. To do so, give your environment a name, select the geographical area, choose the instance (live/production) fill in the rest of the required information.
To know more about how to create environment, you can refer to our user guide.
Create Subscription Plan
This section allows you to create subscription plan for your customers. Once the subscription plan is created, you can list your products on Solutions Hub or create your own UI for end-users to view your pricing plan using our subscription API.
To know more details on creating subscription plan, you can refer to our user guide.
Configuration
You can sync your IoTConnect data using Configuration. With Modules, you can select the type of data you want to sync and with Type, you can select the type of data storage like RabitMQ and ServiceBus.
