Frequently Asked Questions

When you identify a prospective client, log into your SmartERP Partner Hub (/my/partner-hub/register-deal) and submit their company domain, contact, and tax ID. Our deduplication engine checks existing active accounts. Once confirmed, you receive an exclusive 90 to 180-day lock. Ashewa direct sales is blocked from quoting that account.

Yes! You contract and invoice the customer directly for business analysis, customization, training, and deployment services. SmartERP collects only the software subscription license fee, and pays you your 10% to 20%+ recurring margin.

Commissions are evaluated on a cash basis upon verified customer payment. At the end of each monthly billing cycle, our automated self-billing engine creates a consolidated purchase order and vendor bill in your portal, deducting the statutory withholding tax (e.g. 3% in Ethiopia), and wires funds directly to your Ethiopian bank account, Telebirr, or international wire.

Absolutely. We have dedicated diaspora and global expansion territories (GL-NA, GL-GCC, GL-EU). Global partners can transact in USD or EUR, implement SmartERP for international firms or Ethiopian diaspora-owned businesses, and receive international payouts.
