Complex B2B accounts and associations

Group structures, subsidiaries and multi-contact buying committees.

Project-level detail for this record is still being verified internally. Treat the summary below as capability and approach, not as a specific delivered claim.

Forbidden's experience
Forbidden designs the association model around how the business actually sells, then enforces it with process rather than hoping for discipline.
Architecture considerations
  • Parent and child company structures and their reporting implications
  • Association labels for roles across buying committees
  • Deal-to-company relationships where more than one entity is involved
  • Territory, ownership and permission implications of group structures
  • Reporting rollups across a group
Common failure points
  • Flat company structures that hide group revenue
  • Association labels created but never used
  • Ownership rules that break when an account spans regions
  • Reporting built before the association model is agreed
Worth resolving in discovery
  • Does revenue need to be reported at group level?
  • How many entities are typically involved in one deal?
  • Who owns the relationship when a group spans territories?
  • What does the current structure make impossible to see?
