The demand for health and safety management software across South African industries is growing fast. Construction companies, engineering teams, mines, and factories all face heavy paperwork, strict Section 8 OHS Act requirements, and the constant worry of costly site shutdowns.
To make safety compliance easier and help industry professionals expand their business, OmniSafe has launched two straightforward partnership options: the Value-Added Reseller (VAR) Partnership for established consulting firms and service providers, and the Independent Sales Agent Programme for well-connected commercial experts.
Whether you want to add cloud-based compliance software directly to your existing services or simply earn steady recurring commission by introducing new clients, OmniSafe provides the technology, support, and framework to help you succeed.
The Value-Added Reseller (VAR) Programme: OHS Compliance Software for Consultancies
The OmniSafe VAR Partnership is created for safety consultancies, audit firms, and corporate service providers that already have vendor codes and strong client relationships. It allows you to seamlessly integrate modern OHS software right into your client offering.
The Principal-to-Principal Wholesale Model
Instead of acting as a typical referral partner, a VAR Partner acts as the primary service provider. You buy core software licenses at generous wholesale discounts and bill your clients directly on your own terms.
The B-BBEE & Vendor Code Advantage
Onboarding new software vendors can take months of enterprise paperwork. By using your existing vendor setup and B-BBEE rating, your clients can buy directly through you—improving their Preferential Procurement scorecards while launching OmniSafe right away.
Complete Pricing Autonomy
You decide your retail pricing or bundle OmniSafe licenses directly with your monthly retainers, site audits, and safety consulting packages.
Direct Billing & Client Retention
OmniSafe invoices you monthly in advance for active licenses with 14 business days payment terms via EFT. Your client relationships stay entirely yours—even if our partnership ends, OmniSafe contractually guarantees not to contact or bill your clients directly.
Predictable Escalations
To keep client renewals smooth and predictable, price adjustments are capped at South African CPI + 2% or a flat 7% (whichever is lower), with 60 days' advance written notice.
Tiered Wholesale Discounts for VAR Partners
Compliance Admin Seats
Safety officers, compliance directors, and auditing teams.
Supervisor Seats
Site foremen, team leads, engineers, and plant managers.
Field Worker Seats
General laborers, operators, drivers, and site contractors.
Architecture: Multi-Tenant Cascade Management via OmniSafe Link™
VAR Partners manage their clients easily using OmniSafe Link™. From a single dashboard, you can roll out safety standards, company policies, and risk templates across client workspaces while ensuring full data privacy under POPIA.
Independent Sales Agents: Earn Recurring Revenue & High-Yield Commissions
The Independent Sales Agent option is ideal for contractors, safety consultants, and commercial agents who want to earn recurring income by introducing businesses to OmniSafe—without having to handle technical setup or day-to-day support.
A Turnkey Referral Relationship
As an Independent Sales Agent, you connect prospective business clients with OmniSafe on a flexible, non-exclusive basis.
- ✔ Zero Operational Friction: OmniSafe manages all customer contracts, billing, payments, onboarding, and ongoing support.
- ✔ No Administrative Burden: You focus on building relationships and introducing leads, while OmniSafe handles platform delivery and client management.
- ✔ Independent Status: You work as an independent contractor, keeping full control over your schedule and business setup under SARS guidelines.
Commission Structures (“No Cure, No Pay”)
Commissions are based on net license payments collected during the client's first year. Agents can choose the payout option that best fits their cash flow needs:
| Feature | Option A: Accelerated 12-Month Payout | Option B: Extended 24-Month Annuity |
|---|---|---|
| Commission Rate | 15% of Year One contract value | 8% of monthly contract value |
| Payout Duration | Paid in 12 equal monthly installments | Paid monthly over 24 consecutive months |
| Ideal For | Maximizing annual revenue velocity | Generating steady, multi-year recurring cash flow |
| Settlement Terms | Clear month-end reconciliation; EFT payout within 14 business days | Clear month-end reconciliation; EFT payout within 14 business days |
Contract Protection Guarantee: Independent Sales Agents also benefit from contract protection. If an agreement ends, commission payments for clients closed before notice was given will still be paid out for their full planned period.
