EQS Product Guide

A practical guide to what EQS does, how to use it day-to-day, how roles and access work, and how billing behaves for individual and organization accounts.

What Is EQS

EQS is a unified equine intelligence platform that brings together performance records, pedigree context, and bloodstock sales data in one workflow. Instead of switching between disconnected tools, teams can evaluate horses, compare commercial signals, and act faster with shared context.

  • Centralized horse intelligence across performance, sales, and bloodline context.
  • Role-focused user experiences for owners, trainers, jockeys, breeders, and bloodstock teams.
  • Built-in billing operations for both individual and organization account models.

Getting Started

Before you begin

  • Select Individual or Organization account type during signup.
  • Complete email verification and profile completion to unlock the app.

Individual Account

  1. Create your account in Sign Up.
  2. Choose your role and complete profile details.
  3. Start from Home for role-tailored workflows.
  4. Manage plan, billing, and password in Settings.
  5. Use invoices and subscription details in Settings for renewal and payment tracking.

Organization Account

  1. Create organization account with business details and team size.
  2. Invite members from Org Admin People.
  3. Assign seats and activate members as needed.
  4. Manage plan, seats, and invoices in Org Admin Billing.

Role and Account Management

How roles are set

Roles are selected at signup or when inviting members to an organization. In organization teams, an owner can invite users with the required role profile from the People area.

How to switch role

If you need to operate under a different role context, ask the organization owner/admin to update your team setup, or remove you from the organization and then re-invite with the correct role mapping. For individual accounts, contact support for role migration guidance.

How to change account type

Individual users can upgrade to Organization from Settings by submitting business details. This unlocks team management, seats, and org billing controls.

Plans and Plan Changes

What plans are for

Plans control subscription level, billing interval, and the features available to your account. Individual accounts manage this in Settings, while organization owners manage this in Org Admin Billing.

How to change plan

  1. Open Settings or Org Admin Billing.
  2. Click Change Plan and choose the new option.
  3. Review invoice preview (charges, prorations, credits, total due today).
  4. Confirm payment to apply the change immediately.

Common questions

When does the change take effect? After confirmation, the plan updates immediately.

Can I see cost impact before paying? Yes. Invoice preview shows line-by-line amounts and due today.

Where can I track what happened? Check the Invoices tab/history in your billing pages.

What if I canceled previously? Use resubscribe/change-plan flow to reactivate with checkout where required.

Billing: Individual vs Organization

Individual Billing

  • Manage plan in Settings with plan change and invoice preview.
  • Cancel or resubscribe directly from Settings flow.
  • See renewal date, period, total paid, and invoice history.
  • Payment method details and latest invoice links are visible from account billing UI.

Organization Billing

  • Use Org Admin Billing tabs: Overview, Seats, and Invoices.
  • Change plan, buy seats, downgrade seats, and review invoice previews.
  • Track account credit, next invoice, and payment history.
  • Seat actions can generate credits that automatically offset future invoices.

Seat Management For Organizations

Upgrade seats

Go to Org Admin Billing or People, choose Buy More Seats, review the invoice preview, then confirm. Any applicable proration and credit are shown before payment.

Downgrade seats

From Org Admin Billing, reduce seats only down to the number currently in use. Unused value from removed seats becomes account credit and is applied to upcoming invoices.

Assign seats to members

In Org Admin People, open a member and toggle seat assignment. You can also manage member status and invitations in the same workspace.

You can unassign a purchased seat from a previous team member and reassign that same seat to another existing member or a newly invited member.

Invoices, Credits, and Payment Timing

Invoice preview is used before major billing actions like plan changes and seat purchases. It shows line items, prorations, credits applied, account credit available, and total due today.

Account credit is automatically considered during proration and future billing. You can review latest invoice links and historical invoices in the billing pages.

For organization workflows, seat increases/decreases and plan updates are reflected in invoice preview first, so owners can confirm exact billing impact before final payment.

Best Practice Checklist

  • Set clear roles before inviting team members.
  • Assign seats only to active members who need access.
  • Review invoice previews before confirming any plan or seat change.
  • Track account credit and renewal dates in billing overview.
  • Use support tickets for account changes requiring admin intervention.
