What is DMR (Disti Managed Reseller)?
DMR (Disti Managed Reseller) is a reseller whose relationship with a vendor is managed through a distributor rather than by the vendor’s direct channel team. DMRs are typically smaller resellers who do not justify dedicated vendor account management, so the distributor handles recruitment, enablement, and support.

DMRs let vendors reach the long tail of resellers efficiently. They matter because they:
- Extend vendor reach to small resellers
