Franchise management features including Standardised Workflows, Performance Benchmarking, Royalty Tracking, Custom Portals, and Custom Integrations Built-In

This Is Right for You If...

  • You're managing multiple business entities, locations, or subsidiaries and have no consolidated view of performance across them
  • Each entity runs its own processes and reporting has to be assembled manually at period end
  • Inter-entity fees, royalties, or management charges are calculated in spreadsheets and create reconciliation friction
  • Onboarding a new location or entity is slow because there's no standardised process to follow
  • You need different staff in different entities to see only what's relevant to their entity — not the full group
  • You've outgrown spreadsheets and email chains but don't want to implement an enterprise ERP
THE CHALLENGE

The Reality of Running a Multi-Entity Operation

The challenge icon

No consolidated view across entities.

Each location or subsidiary runs its own version of the business. Performance data lives in separate systems or spreadsheets. Getting a group-level view means manually pulling reports from each entity and reconciling them — a process that happens too late to act on.

The challenge icon

Access control doesn't match your entity structure.

Staff at one entity can see records from another. There's no way to enforce entity-level access without all-or-nothing system permissions. Sensitive financial or operational data is visible to people it shouldn't be.

The challenge icon

Inter-entity fees and charges are calculated manually.

Management fees, royalties, shared service charges, and inter-entity billing are calculated in spreadsheets each period. The process is slow, error-prone, and a recurring source of disputes between entities.

The challenge icon

Compliance and audit preparation is a manual project.

When a compliance review, audit, or due diligence process occurs, assembling the documentation across multiple entities takes days. Records are in different places, formats, and systems.

The challenge icon

Onboarding new locations is inconsistent.

Every new location goes through a different setup experience depending on who's managing it. There's no standardised process, no consistent documentation, and no central record of where each new entity is in the onboarding journey.

Ozchain — Multi-Entity Operations Management

The operational core for businesses managing multiple locations or entities. Central dashboard, standardised workflows, and fee tracking across every entity in your group.

  • Entity Management — Manage all locations or subsidiaries from one central dashboard. Operational status and performance data for every entity without chasing individual reports.
  • Standardised Workflows — Define the workflows every entity follows. Consistency built into daily operations, not enforced through periodic reviews.
  • Fee & Charge Tracking — Automate inter-entity fee calculations based on entity revenue or agreed structures. Reconciliation reports generated each period without spreadsheet work.
  • Performance Benchmarking — Compare revenue, compliance, and operational metrics across all entities. Identify top performers and entities that need support before problems compound.
  • Document & Template Management — Distribute standard operating documents, templates, and compliance materials to all entities centrally. One source of truth for every location.
  • Onboarding Workflows — Every new entity or location follows the same structured onboarding process. Checklists, documents, and approvals tracked in the system from day one.

Operon — Operations Management (Service Entities)

For multi-entity businesses where individual entities deliver services or manage field operations alongside group-level management.

  • Job Scheduling & Work Orders — Schedule jobs and manage work orders across entity teams from a central view. No double-bookings, no missed assignments across locations.
  • Quote-to-Invoice Workflow — Each entity creates quotes, converts to jobs, and generates invoices on completion with direct accounting sync. Consistent billing across every entity.
  • Unlimited Users — All paid tiers include unlimited Operon users across all entities. Add staff without the software bill growing with your network.

Stockwise — Inventory Management (Product Entities)

For multi-entity businesses where individual entities manage physical inventory — with per-entity and group-level visibility across all locations.

  • Multi-Location Tracking — Track stock across all entities with per-location and group-level visibility. Know what each entity holds without relying on them to report it.
  • Purchase Order Workflows — Each entity raises purchase orders and updates stock automatically on receipt. Inventory stays accurate across the group without manual counts.
  • Accounting Integration — Stock movements sync directly to Xero, MYOB, or QuickBooks across all entities. Inventory costs stay accurate in the books without double entry.

Custom Capabilities — For Complex Multi-Entity Operations

For multi-entity operations with ERP integrations, complex inter-entity billing structures, or consolidated compliance requirements that go beyond standard product configuration.

  • Entity Portals — Custom portals giving each entity role-appropriate access to their own data, documents, and compliance status. Group administrators see everything.
  • ERP & Accounting Integration — Connect to your ERP or accounting platform for group-level financial consolidation. One data set across your financial and operational systems.
  • Custom Fee Calculation Engines — Bespoke inter-entity billing structures for complex fee arrangements that go beyond standard configuration.

Common Questions About Multi-Entity Operations on Hykmah.

What is Ozchain?

Ozchain is Hykmah's multi-entity and franchise operations management product. It gives group administrators a central dashboard to manage all entities, standardise workflows, track inter-entity fees, benchmark performance, and onboard new locations — without needing enterprise ERP software.

How much does it cost?

Hykmah plans start from free, with paid tiers at $50 and $350 AUD/month. Ozchain is available across these tiers with different inclusions at each level. Larger groups with custom portal or integration requirements are quoted individually after scoping. Book a discovery call to start the conversation.

Can I track inter-entity fees and charges automatically?

Yes. Ozchain includes fee and charge tracking as a core capability. You can configure fee structures per entity, automate calculations based on entity revenue or agreed terms, and generate reports for reconciliation — replacing the spreadsheets most multi-entity operators currently use.

How does access control work across entities?

Ozchain enforces entity-level access by default. Staff assigned to one entity see only that entity's data. Group administrators see the full picture across all entities. Custom portal configurations with more granular access rules are available as part of an enterprise engagement.

Can each entity have its own operational tools?

Yes. Each entity can use Operon for service operations or Stockwise for inventory management, with entity-level data kept separate and group-level reporting consolidated. All products share the same platform and subscription.

Does Ozchain work with accounting software?

Yes. Ozchain integrates with Xero, MYOB, and QuickBooks. For group-level financial consolidation or ERP integration, custom connections are available as scoped projects. Book a discovery call to discuss your requirements.
