What an OEM needs to know before signing a white-label agreement: what can be branded as yours, what stays fixed, and how much work is involved.
Audience: prospective OEM and white-label partners.
What the Program Is
A white-label OEM agreement lets you ship the FrameworX platform as a product of your own. Your end users install your product, open your engineering IDE, see your name and artwork, follow your help links, and accept your license agreement.
The platform underneath is unchanged: you inherit the full product, its connectors, and its release stream. You brand and distribute it — you do not fork it.
What You Can Make Yours
| Area | What you control |
|---|---|
Product name | Your name replaces ours across the product, the Windows shortcuts, the install folder and the uninstaller |
Icons and artwork | Your icon set and imagery, in light-theme and dark-theme variants |
Themes | Which visual themes ship, and which is the default after install |
Solution Manager | Your artwork and layout, reused on the runtime startup dialog |
Product editions | Your edition names and icons, mapped to the FrameworX families |
Help and forum links | Every in-product help link redirected to your pages |
Startup splash | Your splash window at runtime startup |
Installer | Your branded setup, your publisher identity, your install path |
Digital signature | Signed with your certificate, so the product is yours to Windows |
EULA | Your end-user license agreement, shown during installation |
The AI assistant surface | The bundled AI assistant and its full training curriculum, rebranded to your product and your company, including the completion certificates your users earn |
There are no permanently locked names inside the product. The rule is consistency, not preservation: a name you change has to change everywhere it appears, which is why the deeper renames are done with us rather than alone.
What Stays Tatsoft
A defined set of secondary module icons and internal module names carries no customization path. These are not the surfaces your users meet first, but they are fixed, and it is better to see the list during evaluation than to discover it in validation. We will show it to you.
The platform engineering, the release stream, and the reference technical documentation also remain ours.
What You Provide
Brand assets: your product name, icon set, Designer and Solution Manager imagery, splash image, theme choice, and your edition names mapped to ours.
Two legal-commercial artifacts: a code-signing certificate held in a cloud HSM, and your EULA.
Two pieces of standing infrastructure — these are the ones most often underestimated:
A documentation host of your own. In-product help links and the AI assistant both send users somewhere for depth. Without your own host, your users land on Tatsoft pages mid-session and your brand breaks in front of them.
A first-line support tier. Our support serves you with contractual priority, but the agreement assumes you filter basic end-customer questions before escalating.
What We Deliver
We apply your branding to the product build, produce the branded installer, review your EULA, and validate the result before it ships. You receive a product that installs and runs as yours, plus the setup project itself if you want to own your own packaging — the build is parameterized for rebranding, so producing your own signed setup does not require forking anything.
Your end customers still need Windows, administrator rights to install, and the .NET runtime the platform is built on. Your installer can bundle that dependency so they never see it.
The Decisions to Close Before Contract
Four questions move cost and timeline more than anything else.
Whose certificate signs the product, and who holds it? Signing requires a certificate in a cloud HSM. Either you sign the files we send you, or we need access to your signing certificate — and if you want us to build your installer, that access is required. This has cost, lead time, and a security review on your side. It is the single worst thing to leave until after signature.
Who owns the packaging — you or us? We can produce your installer, or hand over the setup project so your team builds it. This decides who controls your release cadence, and it is coupled to question 1.
Do you stand up your own documentation and first-line support? Both are assumed by the agreement. If the answer is not yet, that is a real project on your side and it should be scoped now, not discovered later.
How far does your brand extend? The product surface is the minimum. Extending it to the bundled AI assistant and its full training curriculum is a larger, worthwhile piece of work — one we recommend you automate rather than edit by hand.
Where the Detail Lives
Behind every line above there is a precise engineering specification: exact image dimensions, the build and packaging contract, the rebranding mechanics, and a validation checklist your engineers work through with ours. That material is maintained for OEM partners and released to your technical contacts once the agreement is in place.
Next step: tell us which of the four decisions are already settled on your side, and we will scope the rest with you.
