Facilities

Facilities represent the physical and virtual places in your organization. Each facility has its own inventory, tasks, and feed, so keeping them set up correctly is important.

Viewing Your Facilities

Head to the Facilities page in the web app to see all your facilities at a glance. You’ll find each facility’s name, address, type, and how many users are assigned to it.

Adding a New Facility

To add a facility:

1. Go to the Facilities page and click Add Facility.
2. Enter the facility name.
3. Enter the address (for physical facilities).
4. Choose the facility type.
5. Click Save.

Facility Types

FastQuery supports three types of facilities:

Store

A physical retail facility where customers shop. Stores have a street address and map coordinates. This is the most common type — your actual brick-and-mortar stores.

Warehouse

A distribution center or supplier warehouse. These represent your wholesale partners like Ace Hardware, Orgill, True Value, and Do it Best. Warehouse facilities are visible to all users so anyone can reference distributor product information when placing orders.

Virtual

A headquarters or administrative facility that doesn’t have a physical storefront. Use this for your corporate office or any facility that needs to exist in FastQuery for organizational purposes but isn’t a place customers visit.

Editing a Facility

Click on any facility to update its details. You can change the name, address, or any other information. Updates take effect right away.

How Facilities Affect Access

Facilities are a key part of how FastQuery controls data access. When you assign a user to a facility, they can see that facility’s inventory, tasks, and feed content. Users also automatically get visibility into the 4 nearest stores for quick cross-referencing.

Admins can see all facilities regardless of assignment. For more on how roles and facilities work together, see Roles and Permissions.

Each Facility Gets Its Own Data

Every facility maintains its own:

• Inventory — synced from your POS system for that store
• Tasks — counting tasks, shelf checks, and other to-dos
• Feed — news and updates relevant to that facility

This keeps things organized and ensures your team sees the information that matters to them.
