Managing a Center

Last updated on Dec 19, 2024

About Centers:

A Center represents a physical location where your organization operates. Some organizations may have two or more locations. In this case, it is recommended that you have separate centers for each location as the operation and working with HostedSuite software is seamless, focused, and easy to manage.

Note: If you need to create a new center, please contact our support team.

Key Components:

A center handles multiple areas of the organization, including:

  • Clients: Each center can have multiple clients or organizations.

  • Contacts: Each client will have its employees or contacts.

  • Facilities: Manage meeting rooms and services.

  • Billing and Reports: Manage bills and services for your clients.

You'll have resources provided to you to fully utilize managing a center in HostedSuite.
