📘 Screen: Company
The company is the top of the structure in upCampo: it's the group that brings the farms together. "Agropecuária Santa Clara", "Fazendas Reunidas Boa Esperança", "Grupo Rio do Peixe": each of these is a company, and inside it are the farms/branches where the operation actually happens. Even someone with just one farm also has a company: it's what ties the records together.
Almost everything in the system is separated by company: products, fields, seasons, users, reports. Switching companies is switching worlds: nothing from one appears in the other.
📍 Location in the system
Menu: File > Company
🧩 Main function
Register and maintain the owning group (legal name, address and contact), which is the level above the farms. It's a record you set up once, during implementation, and rarely come back to.
📝 Main fields
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Legal name | The only required field. The group's official name. |
| Trade name | What the group is called day to day. The list is sorted by it, and it's what appears when you choose the company as you log in. |
| Phone | The group's contact number. |
| Street · District · Number · City · State · ZIP code | Head office address. These are free-text fields: the city here doesn't come from a list, unlike the farm record. |
| The group's e-mail. | |
| Website | The group's website, if any. |
| Cloud storage ID | Identifier of the folder used by the cloud storage integration. It's filled in during implementation, together with the upCampo team; the one that organizes the field and season folders in Drive is the equivalent field in the Farm record. |
| Active | Uncheck it to take the company out of use without deleting its history. |
The list shows Legal name, Trade name, City and Active, with a search field on each column.
🔒 What the screen won't let you do
You can't delete the company you are logged into. To take a company out of use without deleting anything (the recommended way), uncheck Active.
🏗️ Where the company fits in
The implementation order is always the same:
- Company: the group (this screen)
- Farm/Branch: each unit, with or without its own CNPJ
- Tax settings: only if the farm issues invoices
- Users: who logs in and what each person sees
- Company/Crop Settings: how the system behaves for that group
- The group's farms sit under one umbrella, with data isolated from other groups
- Records (products, crops, reports) apply to the whole group
- The name shown when logging in is the group's name, not a code
❓ Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between company and farm in the system?
The company is the group; the farm is the unit where the operation happens. A company can have several farms, and it's at the farm level that fields, inventory, fleet and work orders are entered. If the group has three properties, that's three farms within a single company.
Do I need to register a company for each CNPJ?
Not necessarily. The CNPJ (Brazilian company tax ID) printed on the invoice is stored in the Tax settings of each farm, and a single farm can have more than one tax setting. You create a new company when it's a different group: different management, a different set of farms, data that shouldn't be mixed.
I registered the wrong company. Can I delete it?
Yes, as long as it isn't the company you are logged into; in that case the system refuses. If the company already has activity, the recommended approach is to uncheck Active instead of deleting it: that way the history can still be consulted.
Why don't the products I registered show up in the other company?
Because each company has its own. upCampo separates data by company, and that separation is intentional: it's what lets the same office serve different groups without one seeing the other. To use the same product in both places, register it in both.
