The problems company groupsEveryday challenges

The more companies in the group, the harder it is to manage while each one runs a different system.

Group reporting runs late

You have to wait for each company to send its files, and it takes weeks to get consolidated group figures.

Data access rights are not tight enough

Some employees or managers see data across companies unintentionally, risking information leaks between entities.

Intercompany transactions are hard to reconcile

Intercompany purchases and sales have to be reconciled by hand, risking omissions or duplicate entries.

Management has to log in to several systems

Each affiliated company runs on a different system, so management has to switch logins to see each entity's data, which takes a lot of time.

One place for every entity

Bring every company's datainto a single dashboard

However many companies are in the group, they all run on the same platform. Management sees the whole picture and drills into any single company from one screen, with no system switching.

One user account works across every company in the group, with no extra passwords to remember.
Create master data once, then choose which companies in the group can see and use it.
Set data access and approval rights separately by company, branch and job position.
The chart of accounts is controlled centrally, and each code can be switched on for specific companies. Every company therefore uses the same structure, so consolidation needs no remapping.
Set up departments shared across companies, such as central accounting or central purchasing, without recreating them in every company.
Link customers and trading partners that belong to the same group, and separate multi-branch partners by branch code, so outstanding balances within one group are never scattered.

Common questions

Frequently asked questions aboutCorporate solution

How many affiliated companies are supported?

There is no limit on the number of companies. Whether your group has 2 companies or dozens, you can add them all to the system and run them from the same platform.

Can master data such as customers and products be shared?

Create customers, products and trading partners once, then tick the affiliated companies allowed to see and use them. No re-keying for each company, and each company's document database still stays clearly separate.

Can employees of one company see another company's data?

As tightly as you want. Administrators can set data access rights in detail by company and by job position, so employees cannot see another group company's data without permission.

Can management see the whole group from one place?

Yes. Group executives log in with a single user account and switch between the affiliated companies instantly, with no need to log in again.

Can report forms be customized to view affiliated company data?

Yes. Nested offers custom report form services so you can view the data of each affiliated company the way your business needs.

Can you see consolidated group statements?

Reports are viewed one company at a time, but because every company in the group shares a single chart of accounts, consolidating each company's statements into group figures is fast and consistent. There is no need to remap the chart of accounts every time.
