[edit] Own Label Software

As part of its unique business model, Formjet also looks to partner with major retail channels to bring software ranges to market under the latter's own tried and trusted brands. To enable this, Formjet works very closely with such partners, fully customising the chosen software titles, creating packaging artwork, offering phone and email end-user technical support in the name of the partner, together with designing and hosting websites for the partner, where both product information and answers to frequently asked questions about the various software titles are given.

On 1 October 2006, Tesco announced that it would market its own-brand budget software, including office and anti-virus software, in partnership with Formjet [2]. Since that time, further own-brand relationships have been concluded with Marks and Spencer, Woolworths, Jessops and eBuyer.
