Linked Organizations in Allsorter
Linked Organizations allow larger businesses, such as multinational enterprises, to connect multiple sub-organizations under a single parent organization within Allsorter. Each sub-organization can maintain its own configuration, while the parent organization provides centralized oversight.
Key Advantages
-
Autonomy: Each sub-organization can have distinct billing contacts, settings, and usage statistics.
-
Centralized Access: Global Admins can move seamlessly between linked organizations without requiring separate logins.
-
Comprehensive Reporting: Generate analytics and usage reports for each linked organization individually, or review high-level performance across the structure.
Typical Applications
-
Multinational corporations managing separate regional entities.
-
Large enterprises separating departments or business units for billing and governance.
Disclaimer: Linking one organization to another in Allsorter is not self-service. To request a link between organizations, please contact our support team at support@allsorter.com.
