Channel & Distribution Partners

Build a practice around
patent-pending execution-layer software.

Shrink Software is building its partner channel — channel resellers, value-added resellers, franchise consultants, and integration partners who can deliver Shrink Manager into food, franchise, and regulated-industry markets. We own and maintain the platform; you own the customer relationship, localization, and implementation services.

Who We Partner With

Three partner types.
One platform.

Each partner type brings distinct market access. The platform, patent filings, and product roadmap are centrally owned; vertical expertise, local relationships, and implementation work belong to the partner.

Channel Resellers & VARs
Regional and vertical software distributors
Resellers serving food operators, franchise systems, and regulated manufacturers who want to add patent-pending execution-layer software to their portfolio. Full support from Shrink Software; partner retains implementation margin and customer relationship.
Fit: Existing book of business in food, franchise, hospitality, or regulated manufacturing. Services capability in place.
International Markets
International distributors and regional integrators
Distributors and systems integrators with local relationships into food technology, ERP, and compliance software buyers in their markets. Particularly relevant where regulatory frameworks (EU General Food Law, UK FSA, GSO, Singapore SFA) align with FSMA 204 architecture.
Fit: Existing distribution or integration practice serving food, foodservice, or multi-unit operators in target international markets. Priority markets listed below.
Integration Partners
Accounting, ERP, and complementary platforms
Platforms where Shrink Manager integrates upstream or downstream. Accounting (QuickBooks, Sage, NetSuite for corporate finance), food safety (laboratory partners), logistics, and enterprise reporting. Integration partnerships open co-marketing and co-sell opportunities.
Fit: Complementary platform serving overlapping institutional food buyers or multi-unit operators.
Partner Economics

Structured for
recurring partner revenue

Shrink Manager's SaaS subscription model aligns partner economics with long-term customer success. Services and localization work stay with the partner.

SaaS Revenue Share
Recurring subscription margin on every customer the partner lands. Specific share structure negotiated per territory, account size, and partner commitment level.
Services Retained
Implementation, localization, change management, training, and ongoing advisory services remain 100% partner-retained. Shrink Software provides platform, documentation, and partner enablement.
No Channel Conflict
Shrink Software does not sell direct in partner-led accounts or territories. Account and territory protections are written into each partner agreement.

Twelve USPTO Provisional Applications

Partners deliver a patent-pending platform, not a commodity product

Shrink Software has filed twelve USPTO provisional patent applications describing the execution-layer architecture that distinguishes Shrink Manager from ERP, POS, and point-solution software. The filings describe workflow-gated execution, temporal authenticity, dual-source verification, execution-verified artifacts, multi-site execution coordination, production shift anchoring, order-driven workflow scoping, and closed-loop capture-and-adjust. Partners are not reselling a feature set — they are delivering the architecture underneath it.

Provisional applications are not published by the USPTO and confer no enforceable rights until they are converted to non-provisionals and granted. Shrink Software does not publish its application numbers or specifications; prospective partners receive the full record under NDA.

Let's have a conversation.

Partner kits include platform overview, vertical briefs, economic structure, territory availability, and product detail. Initial conversations are exploratory and non-binding.
