Property Operations & PMS: Company profile

Master/Mother Company

We would like to be able to mark a Mother Company as a Mother Company, to be able to sort and search only for Mother Companys.
This Mother Company should not be treated as a regular Company Account, as it is a Master which combines the regular Companys.
Further we need to be able to differentiate between Mother Companys and regular Companys not only in Mews, but in the API as well.

    Proposal: Introduce a Dedicated Mother Company Profile

    Currently, mother companies are treated the same as standard companies, which creates several challenges:

    Limited Configuration Options:
    We cannot customize settings specifically for mother companies because they are handled identically to regular companies. This prevents us from tailoring functionalities to address the unique needs of larger, parent organizations.

    Ineffective Reporting and Data Analysis:
    All companies are aggregated in a single report and list, making it nearly impossible to filter, search, and analyze revenue streams from mother companies effectively. Any analysis currently requires substantial manual effort, reducing overall efficiency.

    Operational and Strategic Impact:
    A dedicated profile would allow us to define unique settings, streamline operational processes, and obtain clear revenue insights by separating mother companies from individual subsidiaries. This change is crucial for accurate business intelligence and decision-making.

    Proposed Enhancements:

    New Company Type:
    Introduce a distinct "Mother Company" profile that differentiates it from standard company profiles.

    Custom Settings:
    Allow configurable options specifically designed for mother companies, supporting unique management needs and operational workflows.

    Improved Filtering and Reporting:
    Enable search and filtering by company type so that mother companies can be isolated in reports. This would facilitate more straightforward revenue tracking and data analysis, reducing the need for cumbersome manual processes.

    Implementing these changes would not only simplify our day-to-day management tasks but also improve our strategic decision-making by providing a clear, differentiated view of our mother companies’ performance.

    >>Yes, it would be useful to identify a *Mother Company* from external systems (API) if it would not be the same as a "company profile".

    >>We should also be able to lock the *Mother company* to prevent reservations from being attached to them or any users from making changes to this profile except by the main admin managing the company profiles.
