Partner Dashboard - Overview

The Partner Dashboard is your central administrative hub for managing multiple client businesses, user access, and brand settings. It's designed specifically for partners who need to oversee and configure payroll services across their entire client portfolio from one unified interface.

Key Capabilities

With the Partner Dashboard, you can:

  • Manage Multiple Client Businesses: Add, configure, and maintain unlimited client businesses under your brand
  • Control User Access: Create and manage user permissions at partner, brand, and business levels
  • Configure Brand Settings: Customise your brand appearance, domain settings, and client-facing content
  • Access Comprehensive Reporting: View business usage statistics, user activity, and performance metrics across your client base
  • Streamline Client Setup: Use business templates and bulk operations to efficiently onboard new clients
  • Maintain System Integrity: Restore deleted settings, unlock user accounts, and audit system changes
Partner Dashboard vs Bureau Dashboard

It's important to understand the difference between these two dashboards:

  • Partner Dashboard: Administrative control centre for account management, business setup, brand configuration, and user management
  • Bureau Dashboard: Operational hub for daily payroll processing, bulk pay run activities, and workflow management

Most partners use both dashboards - the Partner Dashboard for setup and administration, and the Bureau Dashboard for day-to-day payroll operations.
