Comparing two locations should not require two separate logins and a spreadsheet to reconcile them.
Multi-location and multi-business owners face a specific version of the fragmentation problem: not just disconnected departments, but disconnected copies of the same departments, once per entity. Each location or business might run its own instance of similar tools, with no consolidated view of performance, no easy way to compare, and no shared visibility into where one entity is thriving while another is struggling. The Forge keeps each entity's operational data intact and separately governed, while giving leadership a consolidated view across all of them.
How does The Forge support businesses with multiple locations or legal entities?
Each entity's operational data — customers, jobs, revenue, staffing — stays properly separated and governed, but leadership gets a consolidated view across entities without logging into each one separately. Cross-entity comparisons (performance, cost, staffing efficiency) become a live view instead of a manually assembled spreadsheet.

Where it breaks down today
Comparing performance between two locations requires pulling data from two separate systems and reconciling it by hand.
What runs on its own
Auto-provision a new entity's operating structure from a template when a new location or brand launches.
What changes
A consolidated cross-entity view for leadership without a manual data-gathering exercise per location.

How this shows up day to day
The information this runs on
Entity record
The legal or operational unit (location, brand, subsidiary) that owns its own customers, staff, and financials.
Cross-entity performance record
Consolidated revenue, delivery, and staffing metrics rolled up across entities for comparison.
Shared vendor / resource record
Vendors, contracts, or resources used across multiple entities, tracked once instead of duplicated per entity.
Entity access-governance record
Which roles and users can see data within one entity versus across the consolidated view.
Who touches this workflow
Leadership / Ownership
Needs a consolidated cross-entity view for strategic decisions without assembling it manually each time.
Location / Entity Managers
Run day-to-day operations within their entity; need their own operational view without leadership's full cross-entity access.
Finance
Needs entity-level financial boundaries respected while still rolling up consolidated reporting for ownership.
Operations (shared services)
Manages shared vendors, procurement, or staffing pools that span multiple entities.
Intake through improvement
- Problems that need attention — An entity underperforming against a comparable peer, or a cross-entity resource conflict, flags for leadership review.
What surfaces automatically
What stops requiring a manual step
The systems you keep, and what they stay in charge of
Accounting platform (per entity or consolidated)
Each entity's financials can connect to its own or a consolidated accounting platform; the accounting platform keeps the official financial record for each entity.
Banking (per entity)
The cash-position view reflects each entity's connected accounts; the bank keeps the official record of actual funds.
Payroll provider
Entity-level staffing and payroll data can be reflected; the payroll provider stays in charge of pay calculation across entities.

Other areas worth connecting
Finance & Tax Visibility
Revenue, cost, and cash-position data that's technically all in the accounting system but practically requires a bookkeeper to interpret before leadership can act on it. The Forge surfaces financial visibility for operating decisions without becoming — or replacing — the ledger itself.
ExploreApplication Consolidation
A dozen subscriptions, half of them overlapping, none of them connected, and nobody entirely sure which ones are still in active use. The Forge maps what's actually running the business and consolidates the connections around it — without ripping out systems that are working.
ExploreRisk, Safety & Compliance
Incident reports filed on paper, certifications tracked in someone's memory, and compliance deadlines discovered during an audit instead of ahead of one. The Forge tracks risk, safety, and compliance obligations as living records with owners and deadlines, not a binder that gets updated once a year.
Explore- A consolidated cross-entity view for leadership without a manual data-gathering exercise per location.
- Faster identification of which entities need attention and which are performing well.
- A shared operating structure new entities can inherit instead of building from scratch.
- Clearer entity-level data governance, so cross-entity visibility doesn't compromise appropriate boundaries.
