revendas

Portuguese term or phrase: revendas
A empresa mantém 12 distribuidores, um grupo de 40 revendas, entre VARs e integradores, e 17 mil revendedores atentidos pelos distribuidores.
"revenda" means "resale". How can there be a group of 40 "resales", when the sentence is talking about distributors and sellers? So obviously it means something else, but what?

English translation:resale units? resale outlets?
Explanation:
I recall that the corner store in rural Parana was called the "venda" and so that may be a clue. VAR must have something to do with "varejo" (retail).

Hi, Donna. What has thrown me off with this translation is the immediate subsequent appearance of "revendedores". But, from the use of "revenda" later on in the text, I'll probably use "resale unit" or maybe "resale site."
