Footprints & sub-organizations
Brikl Footprints model a network of 100–200 reps as sub-organizations on a map, each with its own stores, catalogs and access under one parent account.
What it does
- Sub-organizations arranged on a map
- Model 100–200-rep networks by region
- Each unit has its own stores and access
- Rolled up under one parent account
The map
Your sub-organizations, and where they operate
A list on the left, a map on the right. Every sub-organization carries its city, its type and its status, and appears as a pin where it actually operates — so a network of dozens is a picture rather than a directory you scroll.
Pins are marked by what the organization does, so a region served by a decorator and a region served by a distributor don’t look the same. Rows expand for what sits underneath, and the count is stated in full.
This is the screen that answers “who covers Texas?” and “which of our locations decorate in-house?” without asking anyone.
Three kinds of organization, named for what they do
Every organization on Brikl — yours, your sub-organizations, the ones you work with — is one of three. The type decides what the platform shows and what the organization can do.
Distributor
Resells from suppliers and decorators.
Decorator
Decorates and produces goods.
Supplier
Supplies blank goods and materials.
The type is shown as a badge wherever an organization appears, including the switcher — so it is always clear which side of a relationship you are looking at.
Standalone, or nested under you
Creating an organization is one decision about structure and three fields. That is the whole thing — there is no second instance to provision and no plan to upgrade.
Standalone
An independent organization with its own owner. Use it for a business that runs its own affairs and simply works with you.
Sub-organization
Nested under yours, with you joining as an owner. This is how a region, a branch or a rep’s book of business gets its own workspace while still being part of the network you run.
A type
Distributor, decorator or supplier — which decides what the organization does on the platform.
A name
Shown in the header and in the organization switcher, so people know where they are.
An owner email
They get an email invitation when the organization is created, and own it from there.
Moving between them takes a click
The switcher lists every organization you belong to, each badged with its type and searchable when the list gets long. Switching applies immediately — no separate login, no second browser profile, no waiting.
That is what makes this workable for someone running a distributor network and its regions at the same time: the same account, the same session, one list.
- Members, roles and section access are managed per organization in user management.
- A catalog can be transferred between organizations — the receiving org's admins accept before anything moves.
- Each sub-organization keeps its own stores, catalogs, orders and reporting.
Access inside an organization is set with roles & access, and what each customer sees is set with customer scoping.
