World-class service
Supporting you every step of the way
All our partners can rely on the support of our dedicated Customer Service team, which is recognised throughout the industry as a standard-setter for quality. From our European Repair Centre in Cardiff, UK, we offer specialist expertise in every area of our product line-up and are always on hand to give your business the backing it needs to succeed.
We are committed to being as accommodating as possible and have a multi-skilled, multi-lingual team with native speakers for no less than 10 languages. And in areas where more direct on-site support is needed, we can make specific arrangements to ensure high-quality service on your customers’ premises.
And we recognise the importance of experiencing our solutions first-hand when it comes to selling to potential customers. That’s why we offer exclusive access to our purpose-built solutions areas. We have one in Bracknell (UK), one in Wiesbaden (Germany) and an extensive industry Customer Experience Center in Munich (Germany) where we showcase solutions for education, logistics, retail, media and entertainment sectors among others. For those unable to visit these locations, we have a virtual version available for you and your customers to enjoy in your own time.
The Panasonic Partner Academy
Make the most of your partner benefits and build expertise and credibility with the Panasonic Partner Academy. The Academy provides a full educational path, with gradual progression, built to suit the learning path of each user. Not only does it provide you with an opportunity to stay up to speed with our latest technologies in your area of expertise, it also offers personalised support along the way.
We give partners access to sales-oriented or technical product courses, usually structured around web-based training and an online check for a digital certificate. Sometimes followed by specialist face-to-face certification training courses and tests. Following and understanding your training progress – and that of your team members – is easy. Constant access to a full training library makes sure you can always fall back on these digital assets.
One portal. Countless benefits.
The Panasonic B2B Partner Programme is based on a single, unified portal that pulls all the partner benefits into one easy-to-use platform. This solution makes it easy to manage leads, access e-learning, track your support requests, and much more.
What’s available in the portal?
We’ve partnered with Zift to offer a powerful syndication tool that helps streamline and simplify your processes and administration for long-term, manageable growth.
How the Partner Programme works
The Partner Programme accreditation is based on your business type and your engagement level with Panasonic. After your registration, we consult with you (and potentially your distributor) to identify your sales goals, required training for your teams, and level of Panasonic branding in your own digital assets.
The precise details of these criteria vary per product category, but in general, we look at things such as:
- Past and projected sales results
- Training and technical skills
- Panasonic brand promotion
- Sales Level Agreements
You will initially be assigned the ‘registered’ level to begin the dialogue with us. During this phase, we can agree on an alternative level, should it be appropriate and necessary.
Partner levels are provided on a company basis. Levels are associated with one (or more) of our product categories.
Every employee (user) registering for the programme inherits the level allocated to the company they represent.
You’ll find direct support and answers to your programme related questions using the contact option on the portal.
Register today to access your benefits
Applying and joining the Partner Programme is straightforward and easy, yet it provides additional value to your business. No fee is required, no contract needs to be signed. All you need to do is agree to the Terms and Conditions and Panasonic will review your application.
Take your next steps
Supply the necessary information and select your Panasonic business ‘category’. Once you’re accepted, we’ll assign your partner level and from there you can look forward to invaluable support, collaboration and business opportunities.
