Partner pricing below retail

Buy from the Smartrise partner price list in TZS — below our retail prices, so there is a real margin for you.

Tier discounts as you grow

Silver, Gold and Platinum tiers reward volume with deeper discounts — the more you sell, the better your price.

Technical training & support

Product training for your team, help with specifications and sizing, and our engineers behind every installation.

Marketing materials & leads

Brochures, product photos and content you can use — and enquiries from your territory passed to you where it fits.

Warranty backing

Manufacturer warranties handled through Smartrise, so you and your customers are never on your own.

Project collaboration

Bring a building project and we design, supply and install together — each side doing what it does best.

Clear, signed terms

An MOU and a Partner Agreement signed digitally by both sides — no surprises, with a full record of every step.

Three ways to partner

Reseller, distributor or special project collaboration

Pick the one that fits how you work today — you can grow from one to another later.

Reseller

Sell to your customers
Who it suits
Contractors, consultants, electrical and building-services firms, and individuals with a strong network.
Your commitment
Represent the products honestly and pass installation to Smartrise or approved installers. No stock or minimum volume.
Pricing level
Partner prices below retail, in TZS, from the partner price list.
Territory
Non-exclusive, in the area you serve.

Distributor

Serve a territory
Who it suits
Established businesses with a warehouse or showroom, a technical team and reach across a region or country.
Your commitment
Volume targets agreed together, stock and spare parts, a trained technical team and quarterly reporting.
Pricing level
Deeper pricing than resellers — exact figures agreed in the Agreement.
Territory
Non-exclusive by default; exclusivity can be agreed for a named territory.

Special project

Collaborate on one project
Who it suits
Developers, architects, consultants and contractors with a specific building or campus in mind.
Your commitment
The project relationship and your agreed part of the work; roles set out for that project.
Pricing level
Based on the partner price list; any fee or margin share agreed in writing per project.
Territory
The project site — anywhere we can deliver.

Tiers (Silver, Gold, Platinum), the partner price list and order terms are explained during onboarding. All pricing is in Tanzanian Shillings.

How it works

What happens inside Smartrise — and how long it takes

Every application follows the same steps, run by our partnerships team. The whole process is typically 2–4 weeks end to end.

  1. Apply online

    About 15 minutes

    Tell us who you are, what you want to achieve and, for a business, share your licence and company documents.

  2. Acknowledgement with a reference

    Immediately

    You get a reference number on screen and by email, so you can quote it whenever you contact us.

  3. Review of your details and documents

    Within 5 working days

    Our partnerships team reads your application and checks the documents. We may ask for anything missing.

  4. Discovery call with our partnerships team

    Within 10 working days

    A conversation about your market, your customers and how we can grow together.

  5. Due diligence (KYC) check

    About 1–2 weeks

    We confirm the business and the people behind it, as any responsible manufacturer partner would.

  6. MOU & Agreement signed digitally by both sides

    Usually within a week

    We share a Memorandum of Understanding and a Partner Agreement. You sign online; Smartrise countersigns with the company stamp.

  7. Onboarding & listing on our website

    On signing

    Training, price list and materials — and, if you agree, your business appears in our partner directory.

Typically 2–4 weeks from application to signed agreement.

Your information stays confidential

Everything you share is used only internally to evaluate the partnership — it is never shared with anyone or sold. Your documents go straight to our internal system and are removed from the website once received. Email and phone are required so we can reach you for the next steps.

Questions

Partner programme FAQ

Who can apply?

Anyone, from any country — an individual with the right network, an established business, or a firm with a specific project in mind. We look for partners who represent our products honestly and look after their customers.

What is the difference between a reseller and a distributor?

A reseller sells our products to its own customers, with partner pricing below retail and no stock commitment. A distributor buys in larger volumes, holds stock and serves resellers and customers in a territory — in return it gets deeper pricing. The exact figures are set in the Partner Agreement.

How long does it take?

From applying to signing is typically 2–4 weeks end to end. You get a reference immediately; we review your details and documents within 5 working days and aim to hold the discovery call within 10 working days.

What documents do I need?

Individuals: your ID and a clear description of what you want to achieve. Businesses: the business licence (required), and if you have them the certificate of incorporation, tax registration, company profile and the directors' IDs. Each file may be a PDF, JPG or PNG up to 15 MB.

Who sees my information?

Only the Smartrise partnerships team, to evaluate the partnership. It is never shared with anyone or sold. Your documents are stored in our internal system only and are deleted from the website as soon as they reach it.

How are the MOU and Agreement signed?

Digitally, like all our contracts: you receive a secure link, read the document, and sign with your finger or mouse (you can add your position and company stamp). Smartrise then countersigns with the company stamp. You can ask for changes from the same page.

In which currency is partner pricing?

Partner prices are in Tanzanian Shillings (TZS), from the Smartrise partner price list. Your level depends on your type and, as the programme grows, your tier.

Will my business appear on this website?

Only if you agree. Once your MOU and Agreement are signed by both sides, approved resellers and distributors who said yes are listed in the partner directory below — name, country, city and website; your email and phone only if you choose.
