Company groups

One Kreativlo customer can hold several business entities at once — for instance a holding with three companies beneath it. The company group feature exists for exactly that.

Its shape

A group is an administrative umbrella, not a place where data is stored. Each company beneath it remains entirely independent.

What stays separate per company

This is the most important part to understand, because it is often misread:

Item	Belongs to
Employee data, attendance, payroll, transactions	The company, never the group
Subscription plan and purchased modules	The company — each entity buys its own
Seat count	The company
Invoices and payments	The company
Roles and access	The company

In practice: PT Bahari can subscribe to Fleet while PT Cendana does not, and each receives its own invoice.

Group authority grants no access to company data

Group-level authority only opens the group console. To work inside a company — see its employees, approve its leave — you still need a seat there, with an appropriate role.

This is deliberate. A group owner may have no right to see individual salary data at a subsidiary, and the system offers no shortcut around that.

What the group console shows

The group console (Portal → Group) shows:

• A list of companies with their plan, expiry date, member count, and active modules
• A cross-company people directory — who holds a seat where. It lists only people at companies where you are entitled to manage members.
• Consolidated reporting — summary figures from each company, side by side

Consolidated reports are assembled from each company's separate answer and then placed alongside each other. What appears is a summary, not the underlying records, and it is still filtered by your subscription and permissions at each company — companies you have no right to see are simply not counted.

Three levels of group authority

Group role	May
Group owner	Add and detach companies, set group authority, view all reports
Group administrator	View all reports; not change the group's composition
Group viewer	View reports only

Trials for groups

A group on trial may hold at most 3 companies, and all three share a single expiry date.

This matters: adding a third company on day 12 gives it the remaining 2 days, not a fresh 14. Without that rule, a trial could be extended indefinitely by adding companies.

The quota is one trial unit per account, where a unit means one trial group or one standalone trial company.

Adding a company to a paid group

A new company added to a paid group becomes active immediately, with an expiry date aligned to the group — but with no modules at all.

Its modules are bought separately through that company's own billing page. There is no new billing concept for groups; everything stays per company.

Standalone companies

A company does not have to join a group. Most customers have a single entity and never touch this feature.

If you later add a second entity, the existing company can be brought into a new group without losing anything.

Detaching a company

Detaching deletes nothing. All members, data, and subscriptions stay intact — the company simply stands on its own again.
