Vartopia Hub brings vendor portals and channel tools into one place for technology vendors and their partners. Partners can access hundreds of vendor portals, pin favorite tiles, and arrange homepage widgets and tools. Vendors can claim a microsite, apply their branding and preferred layout, and connect existing channel tools without replacing them. They may use Vartopia’s deal registration solution or connect an existing tool; Hub integration is optional. Vendor analytics can track partner engagement and measure partner performance. The Partner CRM App is available for Salesforce, Microsoft Dynamics, and HubSpot. Vartopia says Hub uses OKTA for single sign-on to and from a microsite, and its FAQ describes multi-factor authentication and end-to-end data encryption. Partners can use the mobile-friendly Hub on most iOS or Android devices and contact technical support through live chat or a ticket. The partner and vendor offerings are each free, with no user limit; vendor microsites are complimentary. Vartopia describes its architecture as single-instance, multi-tenant and portal/PRM agnostic.
