Multi-company and branches
Several companies and branches, one login.
Each company keeps its own books, registrations and currency. You see each one on its own, or the whole group together, without switching systems.

Does running the group look like this?
be honestOne system per company.
Each company has its own login and its own file, and you are the only person who sees all of them.
Group numbers take a week.
Every month someone exports each company’s figures, converts the currencies and adds them up in a spreadsheet.
What one company owes another doesn’t match.
A charge sits in one company’s books and is missing from the other’s, and the gap turns up at year end.
Your group’s total, without the spreadsheet.
An illustration: a parent company and one subsidiary, one month’s sales, in the group’s reporting currency.
- Parent company, sales
- 500,000
- Subsidiary, salesconverted to the group’s currency
- 300,000
- Sales from the parent to the subsidiaryremoved: the group can’t sell to itself
- −80,000
- Group sales for the month
- 720,000
Each company’s books stay its own. The group total is read from them, not typed again.

Everything a group needs, under one roof.
Multi-company questions people ask us.
What is multi-company ERP?
One system for a business that runs more than one company or branch. Each company keeps its own books and registrations, and you see each one, or the whole group, from one login.
Can our companies be in different countries?
Yes. Country, currency and fiscal year belong to each company, so a company in India and one in the UAE can sit under the same account, each following its own country pack.
Does each branch need its own books?
No. A branch sits inside its company’s books, and every entry records its branch, so you can see each branch’s figures without a second set of accounts.
Can someone work for only one company or branch?
Yes. Access is given company by company, and can be narrowed to branches, departments or cost centres. Someone who works for two companies is given both, on purpose.
How are group totals worked out?
Each company’s figures are read from its own books and converted to the group’s reporting currency. Sales and balances between your own companies are removed, so the total shows only business with the outside world.
Which plan includes several companies?
A second company and more branches start on the Growth plan. Several companies with one set of reports is part of the Business plan.
We keep each company in a separate Tally file. Can we bring them together?
Yes. We bring in each company’s customers, suppliers, items and opening balances, then check each one with you before you go live.
How long does it take to set up?
[Typical go-live time, to confirm.] Setup, data migration and training come as an onboarding package with a published price, and we sit with you in go-live week.
