Decision Point:
├─ PackagePro wants to track raw materials (HDPE resin, colorants)
├─ Wants to manage inventory at 2 China facilities (Shenzhen, Shanghai)
├─ Wants to create POs to their raw material suppliers
└─ Needs production planning tools

manage our entire supply chain here. Now we track raw materials, manage
production schedules, and coordinate with all our customers from one system.
Best $199/month we spend."

• Partners were NOT tenants (managed as Parties only)
• No upgrade path (complex migration required)
• Separate codebase to maintain

​

New Model (Limited Tenant)

• Partners register as Organizations with partnershipTier: PARTNER_ONLY
• Partners ARE tenants with restricted access (RBAC-controlled)
• Natural upgrade path (FREE → PRO → ENTERPRISE)
• Single codebase with freemium tiers
