The difference

Why retail teams use CubeHR for multi-company management

No more separate HR systems for each subsidiary. Manage everything from one dashboard with appropriate access controls per company.
Consolidated headcount, absence rates, and compliance status across the group. Board-level reporting that includes every entity.
Each subsidiary keeps its own policies, leave rules, and settings. Group management doesn't mean forced standardisation.

In practice

How retail businesses actually use it

Illustrative examples of how it gets used, not customer case studies.

A franchise operator running 5 restaurant brands under one holding company was using different HR systems for each brand.
After acquiring a competitor, a company needed to integrate 60 new employees into their HR processes while keeping the acquired entity's policies during the transition.

The problem

Retail HR problems that multi-company management solves

Multi-store management
Different stores, different teams, different schedules, all needing consistent HR processes and reporting.
Seasonal workforce scaling
Christmas, summer sales, and promotional periods require rapid scaling up and down. Onboarding speed matters.
Part-time leave calculations
Complex mix of full-time, part-time, and zero-hours contracts means leave entitlements vary widely and are easy to get wrong.
Floor-based workforce
Shop floor staff don't sit at computers. HR tools need to work on mobile or shared tablets.

Questions

Multi-company Management FAQ

How many companies can we manage?

There's no limit. Whether you have 2 subsidiaries or 50, CubeHR scales with your group structure.

Can employees belong to multiple companies?

An employee belongs to one company at a time, but cross-company transfers preserve their full history. If someone works across more than one company, they can have separate profiles linked together.

Is multi-company an extra cost?

Multi-company management is included on Business and Enterprise plans. Pricing is based on total employees across the group, not per-company.
