The organization

A parent organization operating through a national dealer network across the United States and Canada, including the Dog Guard and Out of Sight Fencing brands.

The challenge

A parent company and dozens of independent dealers needed to share systems without sharing everything: each dealer seeing their own business, the parent seeing all of it, and end customers never landing in the wrong support queue.
