Multi-Branch Management

Running one education center is hard enough. Running two or three? That's where things start to fall apart. Each branch has its own receptionist keeping its own records. One uses Excel, another uses a notebook, and the third has a "system" that only one person understands — and that person is on vacation.

As the owner, you drive between locations asking the same questions: "How many students enrolled this week? How much did we collect? Who was absent yesterday?" And every time, you wait while someone digs through their files to give you an answer that may or may not be accurate. By the time you leave, you've spent an hour and you're not sure the numbers are right.

Comparing branches is virtually impossible. You want to know which location is growing and which is struggling, but the data formats don't match, the records aren't kept the same way, and by the time someone compiles a comparison report, it's already outdated. You're running a multi-branch operation with zero visibility — flying blind across every location.

Centerly treats multi-branch management as a first-class feature, not an afterthought. Every branch you create lives under one workspace, one login, one account. But each branch maintains its own world — its own students, instructors, courses, groups, and financial records.

This means your data is naturally organized by location. When your Maadi branch enrolls a student, that student belongs to Maadi. When your Heliopolis branch records a payment, it shows up under Heliopolis. There's no confusion about which branch a record belongs to, and no risk of one branch's data spilling into another's.

Setting up a new branch takes less than a minute. Give it a name and a city, and you're done. The system creates a clean, separate space for that location's operations while keeping everything connected under your central account. Your new branch is ready for students, instructors, groups, and payments — immediately.

At the top of every page in Centerly, you'll find the branch switcher. It's a simple dropdown, but it's one of the most powerful features in the entire system.

Click it, select a branch, and everything on the page instantly filters to that location. The dashboard shows only that branch's numbers. The student list shows only students enrolled there. The payments page shows only that branch's invoices. Attendance records, exams, reports — everything scopes to the branch you selected.

Imagine this: you have three branches — Maadi, Heliopolis, and 6 October. From your phone, you switch to Heliopolis and see 12 new enrollments this week, EGP 8,000 collected, and 88% attendance. Then you switch to 6 October — 4 enrollments, EGP 3,000, 75% attendance. Then Maadi — 18 enrollments, EGP 15,000, 93% attendance. In thirty seconds, without leaving your house, you have a clear picture of every location.

This is the visibility that multi-branch owners dream about. No phone calls, no site visits, no waiting for end-of-week reports. Just switch and see. It's like having a security camera for your business operations — except instead of watching hallways, you're watching the metrics that actually matter.

Sometimes you don't want to look at one branch — you want the big picture. That's what the roll-up view is for.

Select All Branches in the branch switcher, and every metric aggregates across all your locations. Total students across the entire organization. Total revenue from every branch combined. Overall attendance rate. The roll-up gives you the executive summary — the view you need when you're thinking about the business as a whole.

But Centerly goes further. Even when you're in the roll-up view, the reports section breaks down the numbers by branch. So you can see the total — say, EGP 76,000 collected across all branches — and immediately see how that breaks down: EGP 45,000 from Maadi, EGP 28,000 from Heliopolis, EGP 3,000 from 6 October.

This combination of aggregated totals and branch-level detail is what transforms data into decisions. You don't just know how much you collected — you know where it came from, which branches are carrying the weight, and more importantly, which branches need your attention and support.

Centerly's plans are designed to grow with your center, so you're never paying for capacity you don't need:

- Free Plan — Includes one branch. Perfect for single-location centers that are just getting started or testing the waters.
- Growth Plan — Supports up to two branches. Ideal for centers that have recently expanded to a second location and need visibility across both.
- Pro Plan — Unlimited branches. Built for organizations that are scaling aggressively or already manage a network of centers across multiple areas.

If you start with one branch on the Free plan and later open a second location, upgrading to Growth unlocks the ability to add that branch. Everything you've already set up stays exactly as it is — your students, your records, your history. You just get room to grow.

The branch system is designed so that adding a new location feels exciting, not stressful. Your existing data stays untouched, your existing branch keeps running smoothly, and the new branch starts fresh with its own clean slate — all under the same account you already know and trust.
