This article explains what businesses are in the platform, and how you can create and manage them.
What is a Business?
Although locations are our core objects, we needed a way to group and manage them more effectively. This is where businesses come in.
Think of a business as a folder, and each location inside it as a file:
- You can have unlimited locations inside one business.
- You can restrict access to the business to specific users.
- You can define the purpose of a business.
In short, businesses group locations to give users more flexibility in managing products and user rights.
