Work with Multi-Branches vs Multi-Companies

In this FAQ, we will cover the following topics:

1. Multi-Branches

2. Multi-Companies

3. Create a Second Company and Link

 

1. Multi-Branches

1. Centralized Management: You can manage all your branches from a single interface, simplifying supervision and performance monitoring.

2. Shared Chart of Accounts: All branches share the same chart of accounts, facilitating accounting and the generation of global financial reports.

3. Inventory Tracking: You can keep track of each branch's inventory separately, still have an overview of the entire operations package and you can transfer inventory if necessary.

4. Consolidated Tax Reports: Tax reports are generated centrally, simplifying tax declarations.

5. Common Clients: Clients can be common to all branches, enabling smoother management of vehicle history for warranty management.

6. Statistics and Analysis: You can view statistics and profit and loss statements for each branch, as well as an overall balance sheet, helping you to make informed decisions.

7. Human Resources & Calendars: View calendars and share resources. 

8. Common Account Statements: You can send a global account statement, with a unique invoice sequence.

This makes it possible to separate invoices and inventory between branches, while keeping the same tax report and overall account age. Ideal for a global account statement. The client is common to both branches. They have the same file, with the same vehicles and the same account statement. It is possible to view the statistics of a branch, but the balance sheet is global.

To change branch, go to the avatar in the top right corner of the screen and select Switch Branch.

Next, select the branch.

2. Multi-Companies

Some companies have a management company. The latter's bookkeeping will be independent of the operating company, and it won't necessarily need the same modules as the former.

As far as billing is concerned, if you want your clients'/subsidiaries'/franchises' access to the company to be billed to a parent company, contact us to activate third-party billing.

Finally, there are many advantages to letting your client connect to the platform. They can manage their own prospects and clients, make their own bids and invoices, and even take photos of the receipts you'll be accounting for later. To change your company, go to the avatar in the top right corner of the screen and select Change Company.

 

3. Create a Second Company and Link

If you do bookkeeping or management for one or more companies, here's how to open up access for the other companies, while remaining in control of your bookkeeping.

In other words, if you do bookkeeping for more than one company, do you need to set up separate companies? The short answer is yes. Basically, each company is independent in GEM-CAR. You can, however, decide that the first company will be billed to you and the second will be billed directly to your network or by head office billing.

Renting access to an online service represents a paradigm shift compared with the old software installed on computers.
