Overview

MicroCBM’s organizational hierarchy enables you to manage multiple companies, facilities, and locations within a single platform. This is essential for:
  • Service Providers: Manage multiple client organizations
  • Enterprises: Track assets across multiple sites or business units
  • OEMs: Support customers with multi-site installations
The hierarchy flows: Organization → Sites → Assets → Sampling Points

  • Create/edit/delete any organization or site
  • Manage users across all organizations

Organization Admin

  • See only their organization’s sites
  • Create/edit/delete sites within their organization

Site Users

  • See only their assigned site(s)
  • View/edit assets at their site
  • Cannot create new sites
  • Cannot see other sites in the organization
Assign users to the most restrictive role needed for their job to maintain data security.

Use Cases

Scenario: You provide maintenance services to 10 different manufacturing plants. Setup:
  • Create 10 organizations (one per client)
  • Each organization has 1-3 sites
  • Assign your service technicians to relevant sites
  • Each client only sees their own data
  • You (SuperAdmin) see everything

Enterprise with Multiple Facilities

Scenario: Large oil & gas company with offshore platforms and onshore processing plants. Setup:
  • Single organization (your company)
  • Multiple sites:
    • Platform A (Marine environment)
    • Platform B (Marine environment)
    • Processing Plant 1 (Outdoor, Harsh)
    • Processing Plant 2 (Indoor, Controlled)
  • Assets distributed across sites
  • Site managers assigned to each location

OEM Equipment Monitoring

Scenario: You manufacture compressors and monitor customer installations. Setup:
  • Each customer is an organization
  • Each installation location is a site
  • Your equipment (assets) are tracked at customer sites
  • Customers access their own data portal
  • You monitor all installations from a central dashboard

Best Practices

  1. Hierarchical Naming: Use consistent prefixes (ORG-001, SITE-A1) for easy identification
  2. Accurate Geography: Correct city/country enables regional reporting and maps
  3. Environment Tags: Properly categorize installation environments for relevant standards
  4. Manager Contacts: Keep site manager information current for escalations
  5. Logo Uploads: Professional branding improves client-facing reports
  6. Documentation: Attach site maps and key documents for quick reference
  7. Regular Reviews: Audit organization/site list quarterly to remove inactive entries

Site Analytics and Reporting

Leverage organizational structure for insights:
  • Cross-Site Comparisons: Benchmark sites against each other
  • Organizational Rollups: Aggregate metrics across all sites in an organization
  • Regional Analysis: Compare performance by country or region
  • Environment Trends: Identify if harsh environments lead to more issues
Use the filter “Sites with Issues” to quickly identify locations needing attention.
