A Tenant in The Smart DMS represents a separate business instance / branch within your system.
Each Tenant has its own data —fully isolated from others.
Think of Tenants Like Separate Workspaces #
📶 Example: Internet Service Provider (ISP) #
- Tenant Name: FastNet Kisumu
- Data in this Tenant includes:
- Clients in Kisumu
- Tasks related to installations or repairs in Kisumu
- Payroll for technicians assigned to this branch
- Stock and inventory for that region
🛠️ Example: Garage/Auto Repair Business #
- Tenant Name: Downtown Auto Garage
- Data includes:
- Vehicle repair tasks
- Client vehicles and history
- Payroll for mechanics
- Spare parts inventory
Data Isolation = Cleaner, Safer, Smarter #
Each Tenant’s data is completely separated from others:
| Item | What’s Isolated |
|---|---|
| Clients | Each Tenant sees only their own clients |
| Tasks | Only tasks created in that Tenant are visible |
| Employees & Payroll | Salaries, allowances, and commissions are calculated per Tenant |
| Inventory | Stock and item usage is tracked independently |
| Reports | All analytics and financial reports are Tenant-specific |
Benefits of Tenant Isolation #
- No data leakage between businesses or branches
- Accurate reporting per business unit (e.g., Kisumu vs. Nairobi ISP revenue)
- Cleaner user management — assign users only where needed
- Scalability — manage 1 or 100 tenants from one place
Tip: If you’re running multiple locations, franchises, or clients under one DMS, tenants help you stay organized, secure, and efficient.
