What is the difference between Partners and Collaborators?

Channel Partners (VARs, SIs, Distributors) sell, deploy and support the platform for end-customers. Collaborators are technical, design, hardware and floor-ops specialists who co-build modules, device drivers, AI packs, fiscal adapters and migration toolkits with our engineering team.

How are collaborators compensated?

Depending on the lane, we work on fixed-milestone engineering contracts, per-site deployment retainers (for floor rollout leads), or ongoing revenue share when your vertical module or hardware bridge is bundled into enterprise deals.

What technical surfaces can we integrate against?

You can build against our Model Context Protocol (MCP) server, Peripheral Bridge (serial/USB/network/Modbus/OPC-UA), grounded RAG pipelines, branded commerce storefronts and CSV/SQL migration schemas.

Can an independent specialist apply, or only registered studios?

Both. We work with focused two-person hardware/AI studios and independent domain veterans alike — we evaluate collaborators on shipped work in a real sandbox, not headcount.

Six specialist lanes

Extend the 55-app operating system into every vertical.

We keep the core ledger, offline sync engine and signed runtime tight — and collaborate with domain specialists to ship vertical surfaces, hardware bridges and AI packs.

Vertical Module Studios

Build specialised industry workflows, reports and micro-apps on top of the Ultra Z schema — we spec the ledger contract, you ship the vertical surface.

This is for you ifYou are a software studio or product team with deep domain knowledge in a specific retail or manufacturing niche.

Kiosk, POS & Commerce UX Studios

Design high-throughput register themes, self-service kiosk journeys, digital menu boards and branded D2C storefront templates.

This is for you ifYou design tactile, zero-latency interfaces for cashiers, hospitality desks or multi-brand commerce.

MCP & Grounded-RAG Engineers

Author domain-specific Model Context Protocol toolpacks, voice-agent workflows and permission-ceilinged automation playbooks over live store ledgers.

This is for you ifYou build applied AI agents, RAG evaluations or prompt-engineering packs that need real ERP grounding.

Peripheral, PLC & SCADA Integrators

Wire weighbridges, barcode/RFID tunnels, payment terminals, Modbus/OPC-UA controllers and ShivOlive™ water-plant sensors into Peripheral Bridge.

This is for you ifYou are an embedded, hardware-driver or industrial automation specialist working with edge devices.

Fiscal & Regional Compliance Specialists

Maintain and validate country-specific fiscal signing packs (Veri*Factu, NF525, TSE, UAE eTax, KSA Zakat, Indian GST) and statutory audit exports.

This is for you ifYou specialise in international tax technology, fiscal memory devices or local statutory reporting.

Floor Migration & Rollout Leads

Lead on-site store cutovers, legacy SQL/CSV catalogue cleansing, barcode re-labelling and cashier shift training for multi-outlet rollouts.

This is for you ifYou are a battle-tested retail operations consultant or implementation lead who knows how stores run at peak hour.

How co-engineering works

Own your craft. Ship on a production ledger.

We don't treat external specialists as anonymous body-shop capacity. Every collaborator works against a real sandbox with direct access to our core maintainers, clear milestone or royalty terms, and visible authorship on shipped work.

Three commercial models: fixed-scope milestone build, per-site deployment fee, or ongoing module revenue share

Day-one technical kit: seeded Ultra Z sandbox, MCP server schema, Peripheral Bridge SDK and test harnesses

Credited authorship: your studio or specialist profile is credited on the module documentation and release notes

First-call dispatch: proven collaborators get priority dispatch when enterprise clients request custom integrations or regional rollouts

Build lifecycle

From sandbox spec to signed production release.

Stage 01Scope & sandbox provisioning

30-minute architecture call with the lane owner. We agree the data contract, commercial terms and provision your seeded Ultra Z + MCP sandbox.

Stage 02Offline, security & runtime QA

Your module, driver or agent pack is tested against offline network drops, role-isolation rules and code-signing verification alongside our core engineers.

Stage 03Joint release, credit & dispatch

We publish the capability with your studio credited, include it in enterprise pre-sales demos, and route matching client customisation briefs directly to you.

Expected Collaborator Feedback Kolkata · Design Lane

Touch & Kiosk UX Studio Register Themes, Self-Checkout & Storefront Flows

“Working directly against the seeded C++/Qt register sandbox means touchscreen and self-checkout kiosk flows ship pixel-accurate for peak-hour queues without a middleman layer.”

Expected Collaborator Feedback London · AI/RAG Lane

Applied AI & MCP Workflow Studio Grounded Procurement & Margin-Audit Agents

“Exposing the ERP as a permission-ceilinged MCP server lets external AI engineers build grounded procurement and stock-audit agents that write every action straight to the append-only audit log.”

Expected Collaborator Feedback Mumbai · Hardware Lane

OEM & PLC Hardware Integrator Weighbridges, RS-232 Rigs & Modbus Controllers

“Wiring industrial weighbridges, barcode tunnels and RS-232 label rigs into Peripheral Bridge signs the driver into the local runtime — running without cloud polling or flaky browser serial hacks.”
