Official Showpad partner for custom apps and integrations

Showpad is a sales enablement platform. It gives sales and field teams one place for everything they need in front of a customer: presentations, product information, pricing, demos and training, on laptop and tablet and without an internet connection. What you share is measurable, so you can see what was genuinely looked at. It also includes modules for training and coaching sellers, and shared digital spaces for walking a deal through with the buyer. It is used mostly by organisations with a complex product and a sales team out on the road.

Showpad runs a partner programme for agencies that handle implementation, integrations and custom app builds for customers. We are part of it on the development side. In practice that means we work with the official tooling and guidelines, we know the platform from the inside, and you are not stuck between two parties when something needs answering. For you the difference is mainly that custom work stays within the boundaries Showpad itself maintains, and therefore keeps working as the platform evolves.

Anything that runs on web technology and can be packaged as a self-contained app. A product configurator the seller walks through on the spot, a calculator that works out the payback time of your solution, an interactive catalogue, a comparison tool, or a demo that makes a machine or process visible. An app like that gets the same sharing and tracking behaviour as any other material in Showpad. What is not possible: functionality that needs its own server running inside the app itself. We solve that with an integration outwards rather than server logic within.

Yes, as long as we build it that way. Showpad downloads material to the device, so an app that carries everything it needs keeps working in a factory hall, a basement or on the road. That does put demands on the design: data that has to come from an external source gets fetched in advance and stored locally instead of requested live. We agree up front what has to work offline, because that decides how we build it.

Yes. Showpad has an API and webhooks, which covers most of what you would want to exchange: updating content and users automatically, pulling product data from your own database, or pushing Showpad events into your CRM. We start with the question of which data belongs where, because most of the gain comes from something being maintained in one place only.

That is one of the most common starting points. We look first at how the environment is built up and where sellers get stuck in daily use, because low adoption is almost never about missing features. Usually it is a structure that does not match how selling actually happens, or material that is out of date. Then you get a plan with priorities. Sometimes that means a custom app, often it means clearing up, connecting and restructuring first.

No. What we build for you is and stays yours, source code and documentation included. Your own team or another party can take it over, and your Showpad environment remains your own. We think you should stay because it works well.

It depends on what needs building and how much is already in place. A well-scoped Experience App is a different story from a set of integrations with an existing product database. So we start with an assessment and then give a fixed price per phase, which keeps you off an open-ended bill. Showpad's own licence costs run separately through Showpad.
