Start with the question you have.

A Business Operating Platform gives supported everyday work one foundation. Products, customer details, sales, people, files, and business context can stay easier to follow without pretending every separate tool must disappear on day one.

A useful detail should not need to be rebuilt at every handoff. Keeping supported records in the same business context can make the next step clearer and reduce repeated entry, while permissions still decide who can see or change the work.

An owner may need the broad view while a branch team needs the work for one location. Trio keeps Personal, Business, and Branch views distinct so the view can become more relevant without changing ownership or granting access.

Trio BOP is a Business Operating Platform. It begins with Free Business Core for foundational business work, then lets a business add optional Managers for more specialized capabilities.

Free Business Core is the permanent starting foundation for a verified Trio user who explicitly creates a business. It supports foundational areas such as business and branch structure, basic products and services, customers, Core POS, people and access, files, and settings where currently supported. Optional products remain separate.

Managers are optional software products that add specialized business functions to Core. A business can choose individual Managers instead of unlocking every advanced capability at once; dependencies and availability still apply.

Current public bundle pricing and included products are not published here. Contact Trio for availability. Individual Manager terms are shown on Pricing.

Website Manager is not part of the continuing priced Manager lineup. External website and service connectivity belongs to future Integrations; no Integration pricing is announced here.

Create and verify your Trio account, then explicitly create the business you want to operate. Free Business Core is the starting point; you can consider optional capability when the real workflow calls for it.

Business view focuses on one business as a whole. Branch view narrows supported work to one operating location. Changing view changes the context you see; it does not copy the business, change its owner, or grant a new permission.

Start with the job the business needs to do, then compare that workflow with the current Manager descriptions and dependencies. Choosing one focused capability is valid; contact Trio for any bundle availability.

Trio is designed around people running real businesses who want a useful foundation now and a clearer way to add capability later. Current public examples include neighborhood retail, service businesses, multi-location operations, and new ventures.

The Pilot is for selected operating businesses with a real workflow to evaluate, the ability to use an agreed starting set, and a willingness to share practical feedback. Expressing interest does not guarantee selection.

Authorized team members can work in the business or branch areas available to them. Where the business enables and links a supported relationship, customer and employee portals can provide a focused view of the information that relationship is allowed to use.

A useful signal is repeated reconstruction: the same details are copied across tools, the next person cannot see the current context, or each location maintains a separate version of the same work. Trio can provide a connected starting point where its current capabilities fit.

Add a Manager when a specialized workflow, control, report, or supported automation has become useful enough to justify the capability. Core remains the foundation, so growth does not require buying every Manager at once.

Compare the current individual Manager offers with the workflows your business needs. Contact Trio for bundle availability and terms; do not assume a bundle includes every product.

Owners can begin from a Personal overview of businesses they own, then enter a Business or Branch context. Team members work only in the destinations and capabilities their relationship and permissions allow.

Portals give a supported business relationship its own focused experience. Operation Apps can focus assigned work for a person. Both remain subject to current availability, relationship, assignment, and permission rules; they are not universal access to the whole business.

Public Learn explains business ideas, fit, and current buying questions. Detailed product-use Help stays inside the authenticated Trio application so guidance can appear in the context of the account and available workspaces.

Start with Free Business Core and add an individual Manager only when that capability fits. Trio does not require Complete simply because one optional workflow is useful.

Cancellation stops a future renewal; it does not shorten the term already paid. Monthly access continues through the paid month and prepaid access through its expiration. After that, new paid Manager work may stop while Free Core and supported retained records remain.

Business Owners have a supported Workbook export path through Data & Portability. The available format, authorization, package size, and delivery controls still apply; Learn does not promise an unrestricted or automatic migration to another product.

A Personal overview can support multiple owned businesses, while each business keeps its own records and authority. Within a business, Branch context can narrow supported work to an operating location without merging separate businesses together.
