Group Vision Web

Group Vision Web manages legal entity information, including capital, shareholdings, signature powers, directors, and other representatives. Its charting tool calculates direct and indirect ownership percentages without plug-ins. Users can save report templates, prepare reports for one or more entities, and export them to Excel, Word, or PDF. Document Manager stores corporate documents in its database or links documents from another application, with access controlled by user permissions. The software runs in a browser on desktops, tablets, and smartphones, and Askival offers cloud-hosted and on-premises installations. Hosted use can be arranged through perpetual licences or a pay-as-you-go SaaS model. It supports SAML 2.0 authentication, and single sign-on is available for both deployment types. On-premises installations require Windows Server 2016 or later and Microsoft SQL Server 2012 or later; the application database needs 100 MB of disk space. Askival offers migration, customisation, integration consultancy, helpdesk support, and training. The product launched in 2014. Pricing is on request.

Group Vision Web suits organisations that need to manage legal entity details and ownership structures. Askival says the configurable product serves organisations of different sizes, locations, and ownership structures.

Overview

Group Vision Web is legal entity management software for organisations tracking corporate records and ownership structures. It is best suited to teams with multiple entities or jurisdiction-specific processes that need configurable records, charts and governance documents. Its flexibility across deployment and customisation is a strength, but custom pricing and on-premises requirements make fit and cost worth assessing early.

Key features

Entity records cover capital, shareholdings, signature powers, directors and other representatives. The charting tool calculates direct and indirect ownership percentages without plug-ins, reducing manual work when mapping group structures. That combination is useful for organisations that need both entity-level records and a view of ownership across the group.

Users can save report templates, run reports for one or more entities, and export them to Excel, Word or PDF. This supports repeat reporting in familiar formats. The Document Manager stores corporate documents in its database or links to documents in another application, while user permissions restrict access. Organisations with existing document systems can preserve those links; teams seeking a unified repository can store files in the database.

Askival offers migration from in-house or competing systems and can customise authorisations, interfaces, fields and templates. It also provides integration consultancy. These services can make the system better fit established processes, but organisations looking for an entirely standard setup may have less need for them. SAML 2.0 and single sign-on are supported for hosted and on-premises installations.

Pricing

Group Vision Web is paid, with custom pricing available on request. The pay-as-you-go SaaS option is an annual subscription for a hosted solution and does not require perpetual licences. Askival also offers hosted perpetual licences, but pricing for either model is custom, so organisations should request a quote to compare licensing terms and total cost.

There are no published seat or entity quotas to weigh against those costs. Askival provides helpdesk support by email, telephone, web conferencing and on-site, plus end-user, administrator and advanced training; buyers should establish which services are included in their quote.

Platforms

The product runs in a browser on desktops, tablets and smartphones, without plug-ins. Listed platforms include Android, iOS, Linux, macOS and Windows, alongside web and self-hosted deployments. Cloud hosting uses Microsoft Azure; Askival describes its EU datacentres as ISO-certified and says security and data privacy measures are in place.

On-premises deployments require Windows Server 2016 or later and Microsoft SQL Server 2012 or later, with 100 MB of disk space for the application database. That makes self-hosting an option for organisations with compatible infrastructure, but a poor fit for teams unable to meet those server requirements.

Who it's for

Group Vision Web is aimed at organisations of different sizes, locations and ownership structures, with configurable, jurisdiction-independent entity management. It is a stronger fit for teams that need ownership charts, governance documents, recurring reports and control over hosting than for buyers seeking a low-cost, off-the-shelf service with a published price.

Pros and cons

• Pro: Direct and indirect ownership calculations are built into group charts, supporting analysis across complex structures without plug-ins.
• Pro: Cloud and on-premises deployment, plus hosted SaaS or perpetual licensing, gives organisations meaningful control over hosting and licensing approach.
• Pro: Reports export to Excel, Word and PDF, and document access can be restricted by user permissions.
• Con: Custom pricing means buyers need a quote before comparing cost with alternatives.
• Con: On-premises use depends on specific Windows Server and SQL Server versions, which may require compatible infrastructure.

Verdict

Choose Group Vision Web if your organisation needs configurable legal entity records, ownership calculations, governance document controls and a choice between hosted and on-premises deployment. Its strongest advantage is bringing those functions together with migration, customisation and training options. Look elsewhere if upfront price transparency or minimal infrastructure requirements matter more than deployment and configuration flexibility.
