Multi-branch garages: separate branches, one account
Open a second branch and the work doesn't double, it quadruples: which part is at which branch, what each branch made, who is looking at what. In Baktam all branches sit in one account; stock is kept per branch, transfers are recorded and reports can be run for a chosen branch.

What is it for?
In the workshop
A part is at the other branch but gets bought again because nobody knew.
With Baktam
Each branch's stock is visible separately; a transfer is sent and the stock moves when the other branch receives it.
In the workshop
Working out what each branch made waits until month end.
With Baktam
Reports and the end-of-day report can be run per branch; the owner can switch to an “all branches” view.
In the workshop
Branch staff can reach the whole business's data.
With Baktam
Staff are tied to one branch and only see that branch's jobs and stock.
