The MKG Partner Program
Companies in the manufacturing industry want to work more efficiently: connecting systems, automating processes, and utilizing data better. Smart software, reliable connections, and expert integration partners play an increasingly important role in this. In the MKG Partner Program, we collaborate with partners who actively want to add value to the MKG ERP system. This can be in the form of software solutions, add-ons, integration services, custom connections, or specialized applications for the manufacturing industry.
Why Become an MKG Partner
As an MKG Partner, you contribute to building a platform for the manufacturing industry. You get a professional foundation that allows you to develop your solution faster, better, and more scalable. You also benefit from clear integration standards and commercial visibility within the MKG network. Together with MKG, you ensure reliable, future-proof solutions that truly help customers move forward.
Who Can Become an MKG Partner
The partner program is intended for organizations that want to collaborate with us structurally in the areas of integrations, add-ons, and API usage. You can register as a software partner or an integration partner. Software partners offer their own solution that is linked to MKG. Integration partners support customers in designing, building, implementing, or managing connections between MKG and other systems.
How Does the MKG Partner Program Work?
Click the button to submit your application. We will discuss your organization, proposition, target audience, and the intended connection with MKG.
Together we determine which route fits. Will you become a software or integration partner? We establish agreements on collaboration, conditions, and responsibilities.
As a partner, you get your own sandbox. In this environment, you can develop, test, and prepare your solution for use by customers.
We evaluate the use of MKG in combination with the MKG API: data traffic, authorization, cloud suitability, support, performance, and security.
After a successful evaluation, we establish the partner status. Your solution is published in the MKG Add-ons overview.
What Tools Do You Get? +-
You get your own sandbox and access to our Data Dictionary. In your own MKG sandbox environment, you can develop, test, and demonstrate without being dependent on a customer environment. This environment leads in beta versions, allowing you as a partner to have early access to new features within MKG and the MKG API. The Data Dictionary is the central place where tables, endpoints, and MKG services are made visible. It helps developers understand more quickly how MKG is structured, which data is available, and how integrations can be designed effectively.
What Does the API Structure Look Like? +-
The MKG API is the technical foundation that allows customers, partners, and developers to connect MKG with other systems. Because the development of the MKG API is standardly included in MKG's release cycle, you build on a platform that is actively being further developed. We work with a uniform API structure, so endpoints and fields are recognizable and consistently built at MKG customers. This allows you to develop your solution scalably, make it reusable, and maintain it better. To work with the MKG API, you need the MKG Exchange license. Read more about MKG Exchange.
How Do We Evaluate a Partner? +-
The partnership means we collaborate based on clear agreements. MKG evaluates whether a partner can work professionally, safely, and supportably with MKG integrations and the MKG API. We look not only at the technology but also at communication, support, documentation, ownership, and customer expectations. This creates clarity for the customer regarding support, management, and responsibilities.
What Do We Expect from a Partner? +-
A good partnership requires trust, professionalism, and clear responsibilities. Each partner remains the owner of their own solution and is responsible for their own software, configuration, implementation, management, and first-line support.
- Customer interest, performance, and continuity are central.
- Secure management of customer data, API access, and authorizations.
- Thoroughly tested solutions.
- Carefully implemented changes.
- Clear documentation.
- An own support process.
- Open communication about partner status, certification, and support.
- Collaboration with MKG in case of incidents, changes, or customer questions.
When Is a Solution an MKG Add-on? +-
A software solution that is linked to MKG as a ready-made solution can be positioned as an MKG Add-on. In any case, it should be clear what the solution does, who it is intended for, what value the solution adds, and which conditions or points of attention are relevant. An MKG Add-on can have the status 'In development' or 'Live'. This also makes future solutions visible without raising false expectations.
What Does the Partnership Deliver? +-

- An own sandbox environment to develop and test your solution.
- Access to the MKG Data Dictionary within your own sandbox environment.
- Early access to beta versions.
- Visibility and professional positioning within the MKG network.
