Introduction

This document will describe how to organize your AirVend business into a hierarchy.

 

Basics of the Hierarchy

A hierarchy is divided into groups on different Levels. It is meant to be a simple way for you to arrange your business on AVLive and allow access to portions of your account for those who need it. For this example, lets say your company is divided into two Areas which each include two routes.  

Areas - East, West

East Area - Route 1, Route 2

West Area - Route 3, Route 4
