Technology companies recognize that the opportunity to sell products around the world has extended distribution chains into more tiers, time zones, and languages, creating significant channel complexity. To help technology manufacturers navigate this global channel complexity and discern sales and inventory information accurately, Zyme offers our customers an end-to-end, global data-capture platform. Our “global coverage” is illustrated by the following key capabilities:

• Channel Data Anywhere—high-quality data capture from your global channel partners
• Global Partner Master—a verified directory of multi-tier channel partners worldwide
• Tech Channel Index—an aggregated index of the health of the global high-tech channel
• Foreign Language Translation—support for over 14 languages

Channel Data Anywhere:

With daily and weekly data feeds coming from more than 2,500 reporting partners in over 180 countries, in multiple formats and languages, Zyme provides excellent coverage of the global technology channel.  Our customer base includes leaders from various subsectors in the high-tech industry, including PC and PC peripherals, communications and networking, memory and storage, consumer electronics, enterprise and consumer software, and semiconductors. In fact, chances are good that we are already gathering data from your Tier-1 distributor or retailer, so on-boarding channel partners is quick and efficient.

Global Partner Master:

The global, multi-tier technology channel consists of distributors, sub-distributors, resellers, value-added resellers (VARs), and retailers. Zyme’s Global Channel Directory (GCD), which lists more than 400,000 verified channel partners from over 180 countries, serves as a reference guide for the global channel—and gives our customers the ability to match their sales transactions to a well-maintained, up-to-date partner master.

Tech Channel Index:

Using patent-pending methods, Zyme created the Tech Channel Index (TCI) to provide a single, uniform view of sales and inventory performance metrics across the global technology channel.  TCI is based on the aggregation of point-of-sale (POS) and inventory data from companies that have opted to participate in the program. Zyme collects this data using its proven world-class data integrity methods, and it treats the data of opt-in participants with absolute confidentiality and security. TCI metrics are derived by aggregating more than 7 million transactions collected from over 1,500 distributors and retailers each week. Participating companies represent over $30 billion in channel sales in multiple high-tech product categories.

Foreign Language Translation:

Our solution can receive POS data in most languages, including double-byte characters. Zyme also offers automated English-language translation for several languages, including Hebrew, Arabic, Thai, Russian, Chinese, Korean, Japanese, and Hindi.
