One platform for every organization you serve.
Give a group of organizations the same production foundation, while each keeps its own identity, users, and way of working.
Roll-ups, school districts, counties, universities, franchise systems, and networks of every kind share one problem: a central team supports many organizations that do nearly the same thing, slightly differently. Give them one rigid system and they work around it. Let each buy its own and the central team supports a dozen versions of every process.
Functory builds one production system for the group and brings each organization onto it. A single deployment can serve every member organization as its own tenant, with its own address, users, data, and configuration layered on a shared core, so centralizing does not mean flattening.
The problem every central team inherits.
- Every member organization runs its own tools, so the central team supports a dozen versions of the same process.
- Data lives in incompatible systems, so comparing one organization with another is a manual exercise.
- A shared system that forces one way of working gets resisted, and one that allows anything never really gets shared.
- Moving an organization onto a new system feels risky, so old systems outlive their contracts.
- Every new member, whether acquired, opened, or merged in, restarts the same technology decisions.
Many shapes, one pattern.
What is shared and what differs changes from group to group. The structure underneath does not.
Private equity roll-ups
Share sign-in, billing, scheduling, and how results are counted. Let each company keep its brand, pricing, and workflows, and plan from the start for what happens when one is sold.
School districts
Share one sign-in for staff and families, enrollment, scheduling, and notifications. Let each school keep its own programs, calendars, and communications.
Counties and state agencies
Share identity, payments, case and permit workflows, and records. Let each department keep its own forms, rules, and approval chains.
Franchise systems
Share booking, payments, loyalty, and brand standards. Let each location set its own hours, services, staff, and local pricing.
University systems
Share sign-in, payments, events, and communications across the institution. Give each department, club, or residence hall its own app on the same foundation.
Associations and federations
Share membership, dues, events, and communications. Let each chapter run its own events, leadership, and local dues.
Shared where it pays, separate where it matters.
One deployment, many organizations
Each organization is its own tenant, with its own address, users, and data. None can see another's data, because the separation is built into how data is stored, not left to a filter someone has to remember.
A shared core, with local variation
Every organization starts from the same records and workflows, and each can add or adjust what it needs without forking the system for everyone else.
Bring each organization across in stages
Existing data is imported through mapped, validated, resumable processes that follow the same rules as records created in the product, so onboarding a member is staged rather than a big-bang cutover.
Infrastructure you control
Everything runs in an AWS account you control, in the regions you choose, including AWS GovCloud or air-gapped environments where yours require it. One stack narrows what auditors have to review.
What changes for the group.
New members join a running system
A new school, location, department, or acquisition joins a system that already works, instead of starting another integration project.
Local autonomy without local sprawl
Organizations adjust what they need within the shared core, rather than buying their own tools to get it.
Numbers that mean the same thing
When every organization runs on the same records and rules, an enrollment, a booking, or an invoice is counted the same way across the group.
Shared services that share
One set of workflows, one data model, and one operating stack, rather than a central team bridging a dozen tools.
Lower run-rate technology cost
Fewer contracts for each organization, and infrastructure billed directly by AWS.
Ready for reorganization
A documented system with explicit ownership and runbooks, which matters most when organizations are merged, restructured, or sold.
One operating team for the whole group.
Member organizations often arrive with their own hosting, IT vendors, and support arrangements. On one platform, one team operates the system for the group: when organizations share a deployment, upgrades and security fixes apply to all of them at once, and the quarterly cost review covers the group as a whole.
Built in from day one
- Monitoring on every request
- Audit trail of every change
- Point-in-time recovery for 35 days
- Controlled releases
- Traffic protection
- Privacy request handling
When we operate it
- On-call cover and incident response
- Platform upgrades, security patches, infrastructure maintenance
- Quarterly architecture and cost review
- Continued feature delivery against your roadmap
- Air-gapped and GovCloud deployment options
- A defined exit, whenever you want to take it in-house
Prefer to run it yourselves? We transfer it with runbooks, documentation, and training, and the system keeps running. How Operate works
From the first organization to the whole group.
Discovery
Maps what is common and what should stay local, current systems and data, the migration order, procurement and compliance constraints, and what happens when an organization leaves the group. It ends with a written plan and a build quote.
Build
Delivers the shared system and brings the first organization onto it, in your AWS account.
Roll out
Brings each further organization across in stages, starting from a system already proven at the first.
Operate or transfer
We run the platform for the group, or hand it to your central IT or shared-services team. A platform team that prefers to build can use Self Service.
Also a fit for
Multi-brand groups, property and facilities portfolios, membership networks, and any organization that serves many others with slightly different needs.
Coda
Start with two or three organizations.
Bring us the group and two or three of the organizations in it. We will map what can be shared, what should stay local, and what the first rollout would take.
