BUSINESS TOOLS

Business Management

Keep the organisation's projects, products, pricing and people under one business account. Business Management gives owners control over who can quote, who can see commercial pricing and who only needs products and installer information — while keeping the workflow connected from takeoff to site.

FEATURE → ADVANTAGE → BENEFIT

The business owns the workflow — not one employee.

Business Management is built around organisation-level control. Products, pricing, projects and commercial permissions can stay with the business while individual users receive the level of access required for their role.

Business OwnerManage the organisation, team access, products, pricing and quoting permissions.
Quote-Enabled MemberCreate quotes and work with authorised business pricing.
Products-Only MemberAccess products and installer information without commercial pricing or quote creation.
01 — BUSINESS ACCOUNT

Keep the organisation at the centre of the workflow.

Business Management is designed so projects, products, pricing and team access belong to the business rather than being scattered across individual staff accounts.
