# Partners 

Scale your Ecosystem

## Introducing the Partner Model: Empowering Collaboration on Smilecloud

Smilecloud isn’t just about technology. It’s about connecting people.  
With the Partner model, we make it even easier for you to build those connections—and grow together.

## 🤝 What Is the Partner Model?

With Smilecloud’s new **Partner** feature available for the **Business Plan**, laboratories and specialists (like surgeons) can now sponsor **Partner Access** for their collaborators.

Imagine this:  
You're a dental lab, and your clients—general dentists—are hesitant to join Smilecloud. But you know that working together in one digital workspace leads **to fewer errors, faster approvals, and a much smoother workflow.**

Now you can take initiative.

You, as the lab, pay for your dentist’s Smilecloud access.  
The dentist gets a free collaboration account, where they can:

-   Create cases
-   Upload photos, scans, and documents
-   Communicate, review, and download.

And most importantly: **they own the data**. 

The case lives in their account, under their name. **You are simply enabling the collaboration.**

## Who Is It Best For?

### ✅ **Dental Labs**

Pay for your referring dentists so they can send you case data, and requests—all through Smilecloud.

### ✅ **Surgeons**

Sponsor accounts for your network of referring general dentists. They can send you surgical cases, files, and pictures to review and coordinate care.

## 🚀 How It Works

-   **Sponsor access** for your partner dentist or specialist
-   They get a Smilecloud account with collaboration tools (free to them)
-   **They create cases, upload files, and share** them with you
-   If the doctor later **wants full features** (like Smile Design, Video Simulation, or 3D file review), they can subscribe independently
-   When that happens, **your cost decreases** automatically, and their ownership stays intact

📌 No admin work needed. It’s automatic, seamless, and fully transparent.

## How to use it

The Partner option is available for **Business subscriptions**. Here is how to set it up:

-   Access your account 
-   Go to Plan & Billing 
-   Select  **Add & Manage Partners**

Once your new seats are confirmed, **add the email of your partner and Invite.**

## Why This Changes Everything

### 1\. **Better Communication = Faster Results**

When your collaborators are in the same workspace:

-   Fewer missed details
-   No more back-and-forth via email or WhatsApp
-   Visual annotations and approvals in one place

### 2\. **Shorter Turnaround Times**

Smilecloud centralizes the full case flow—from initial design to lab-ready 3D files—so you can cut days (sometimes weeks) off your delivery timeline.

### 3\. **Business Growth**

The more referring dentists or clinics you connect with, the bigger your potential network becomes. You provide more value, and strengthen relationships.
