NXP’s Partner Program enables a carefully curated technology ecosystem that simplifies development, accelerates time-to-market and helps ensure the long-term success of a deployment. Companies with deep expertise in NXP products and alignment with our technology roadmaps are invited to participate in the program after the selection and validation process.
Uniquely Talented Companies
There are now more than 300 NXP partners that offer vital tools, software, technology, engineering services and training for NXP technologies.
UCODE is one of the latest NXP product segments to increase their representation in the Partner Program by onboarding key customers that offer UCODE-based solutions. Long-standing Gold Partners as Schreiner Group, a leading supplier of innovative high-tech labels and functional parts for Healthcare, Mobility and General Industry, appreciate being part of the UCODE ecosystem.
“By combining our core competencies we can optimally leverage our joint expertise for market-specific applications”
Sebastian Münscher, Product Manager RFID/NFC Solutions at Schreiner MediPharm, a business unit of Schreiner Group.
We’ve been approaching our customers to introduce the program and its benefits, and today we’re proud to announce that we’ve onboarded four companies, inlay and label manufacturers, as Gold Partners – Tageos, Xindeco IOT, Shang Yang and Inotec. We’re excited to have onboarded new partners that complete the ecosystem surrounding NXP technologies with their offerings.
One-Stop-Shop for Customers
NXP’s Partner Marketplace, a web portal that makes it easy to find partner products and services, is a sort of one-stop-shop, with authorized NXP partners who know the product and work on various links of the value chain. Becoming a partner enables companies to publish their product offerings on NXP Marketplace. This way, UCODE customers can view the extensive RFID ecosystem in one place, so it’s easy to find the right resources, from reader manufacturers, inlay and label manufacturers to solution providers. Each partner provides special expertise and emphasis in different areas, making it possible to create a unique, high-impact solution for every customer that accelerate time-to-market.
There are hardware partners, offering boards, modules and/or hardware solutions, based on NXP products and designed for integration into OEM products. There are software partners, specializing in embedded/application software and cloud services, so developers can save time when delivering products based on NXP solutions. The partner ecosystem also includes service partners, for design consultancy and/or training services, as well as product partners, who offer complementary products and development tools that can be used directly with or by NXP products.
Using the Partner Marketplace to find resources helps customers deliver RFID solutions that might otherwise be too complicated or too unwieldy to complete on their own. Customers can think big and use the Partner Marketplace to make those ideas a reality.
Increased Visibility and Close Collaboration
Becoming an NXP Partner is a valuable opportunity for companies to present their products and services in new ways, across product training, joint promotions and marketing activities. UCODE is a leading name in RAIN RFID products and part of a complex value chain, including the producers of readers, antenna inlays and system integrators. Partner companies also gain visibility, with their presence on the Partner Marketplace, a direct-to-customer channel, which lets them highlight their offerings supporting various NXP technologies like NFC.
What’s more, Gold Partners have regular alignment with NXP business teams and technology roadmaps, which can enhance competitiveness and increase value by making long-term planning both more consistent and more strategic.
We Are Brighter Together
NXP is deeply committed to the Partner Program for several reasons. To begin with, we’re stronger as a company when we work with an ecosystem of hardware, software and service partners. We strive to have everything in place to make the most of every product and work with partners to expand into new markets and reach new customers.
New technologies benefit from the support that comes from independent developers and solution providers, because customers need to know that new technologies are backed by an ecosystem of experts who believe in the promise of a new idea. Customers also need to be confident that they’ll be able to find the help they need to deploy new solutions.
Under strict NDAs, Gold and Platinum Partners may have pre-launch access to NXP products and roadmaps, to familiarize themselves with new features and prepare their functionalities and operations. That way, partners can be ready for our customers at launch, making knowledgeable support and services available from the get-go.
Focus on UCODE
The list of UCODE partners continues to grow, and we’re always looking to strengthen our offering and extend our reach to new customers and markets.
Potential partners must apply for eligibility. Applications are then reviewed and assessed by a core team of specialists and experts in the relevant business and product lines. Once accepted, companies are assigned a sponsor, who helps guide the onboarding process.
As the sponsor for UCODE partnerships, I encourage everyone in the UCODE ecosystem, from inlay, label and reader manufacturers to solution providers, to consider membership in the Partner Program.
