How does the distribution and reselling system work?

The distribution system is based on the following principles:

Retail price is directly controlled by Infosistema

The distributors and resellers can and must work with Infosistema in order to correctly define the price.

Distributor gets X% of the retail price

The role of the distributor is to recruit resellers. Infosistema maintains a record of the resellers recruited by each distributor. From the moment the reseller makes a sale, the distributor automatically earns X%, whether or not s/he participated directly in that sale.

Reseller gets Y% of the retail price

The reseller gets Y% of the retail price. This is a clear commitment on the part of Infosistema to ensure that the resellers have a high financial return from each sale of eTest.

Infosistema always invoices the customer directly

The back-office financial system automatically transfers the amounts to the distributor and reseller that carried out the sale.

Frequent Asked Questions

What is the difference between a distributor and reseller?

The distributor invests and gets its return from volume. The distributor's revenue comes solely from the commission on licenses and software assurance contracts. The role of the reseller is one of backing implementation services, as opposed to the number of licenses sold.

Can I sell Infosistema eTest to the end customer?

Yes. If a distributor carries out a sale directly to an end customer the margin will be X% (not Y%). Besides this, the price for the end customer will always be the same. In this way, any unfair competition that exists in other distribution systems is eliminated. We remind you that the basic role of the distributor is to recruit resellers and capitalize on the distribution chain that is created.

How can I recruit resellers?

Infosistema provides a site where each distributor can recruit resellers. Infosistema assigns a reseller code after the acceptance of the reseller is approved. The acceptance is to ensure that the same reseller is not already attributed to another distributor, or to guarantee that resellers are not registered against their will.

What kind of control do I have as a distributor?

Infosistema provides a secure site where the Infosistema eTest order pipeline for your resellers may be visualized.

How is the sale processed?

The end customer installs the application, no matter whether the product came from a distributor or a reseller. The end customer registers the application by purchasing a registration key on the Internet. During the actual purchase, the customer supplies an installation serial number and the reseller's code. The reseller's code allows funds to be transferred to the correct distributor and reseller.

Zero back-office initiative. What is it?

The distributor and reseller do not invoice the end customer. In this way, neither the distributor nor the reseller has to worry about invoicing and receipts, which increases the operational margin through the reduction of back-office support.

Is Infosistema eTest sold directly to the general public? Why?

Yes, via the internet, but it is more expensive than if it were bought directly from a reseller. The reason is for Infosistema to guarantee complete geographic coverage, without damaging its distribution chain. The entire Infosistema eTest ecosystem will profit from the greatest possible number of installations of Infosistema eTest .
