A brand in T-Gate's platform represents a distinct product line or business identity within a company. It serves as an organizational unit that groups multiple branches together. This structure helps companies manage and categorize their operations efficiently under one unified identity.
For more details on the hierarchical structure and how different entities relate to each other, please refer to General → High Level Structure Guides.

branch_idsT-Gate adds a bi-directional link between brands and their branches to allow applications to fetch and link data in the order that best suits their needs.
This means if you navigate to the branch entity using the branch_id found in a brand, you will find the id of that brand in the brand_ids array. This bi-directional link ensures that you can start from either the brand or the branch and establish their relationship effectively.
