Partner With Us
The software is free; the work around it is not
What There Is to Partner On
Zafarios is open source, so there is no licence to resell and no software margin to share. What schools do need is someone nearby who can install it, move their data into it, configure it for how that school works, train the staff and answer the phone afterwards. That work is the partnership.
Implementation Partners
Deliver Zafarios to schools in your region: install and host it, migrate the existing records, configure classes, subjects and roles, and train the people who will use it every day.
- You hold the relationship with the school and bill your own work
- Access to us for the questions the code does not answer on its own
- Commercial terms agreed case by case and put in writing before work starts
Support Partners
Provide first-line support in the local language and time zone, and escalate to us what needs to reach the people who wrote the code.
- Response times are whatever you and the school agree — we do not impose a figure
- Escalation path for defects that need a change in the software
- Training so your team knows the system rather than reads from a script
Technology and Integration Partners
There is no public or partner API today, so this is honest work in the open code rather than a key and a set of endpoints. If you want Zafarios to exchange data with your system, the integration is built in the source, and the result can go back into the project so the next school gets it too.
- Integration work happens in the codebase, which is open to you
- Contributions are reviewed on the same terms as anyone else's
- Co-marketing where there is a real deployment to talk about
Educational Partners
Collaborate with us on research, content, and educational initiatives.
- Educational research partnerships
- Content development collaborations
- Teacher training programmes
- Educational conference participation
Why This Model Works for a Partner
No Licence in the Way
Nothing has to be paid for the software before a school can start, so the conversation is about the work
No Lock-In to Defend
The school can host it itself and take its data with it, which is easier to sell than a contract it cannot leave
The Code Is Open to You
You can read it, fix it and adapt it for a school instead of waiting for us to
Terms in Writing
Agreed for the specific work, not set by a tier on a web page

Tell us which region you work in and what you would deliver. We would rather start with one school we can both point at than with a signed framework and nothing running.
