Introducing organisation currencies

Managing stockpiles is only one part of effective logistics. As organisations grow, coordination between members, clear accountability, and fair ways to recognise contributions become increasingly important.
To address this, we’re introducing organisation currencies, a new feature that lets organisations define and manage their own internal monetary system directly in FoxStock.

What are organisation currencies?

An organisation currency is a custom unit of value created at the organisation level. It is designed to represent internal value, such as contributions, rewards, or compensation for logistics-related work. Instead of relying on informal agreements or manual tracking, organisations can now centralise this information in a consistent and transparent way.

This currency acts as a foundation for several exchange mechanisms within FoxStock. Over time, it will support direct transfers between members, ticket-based systems, and delivery-related rewards or payments. Even before all of these features are available, organisation currencies establish a clear framework for internal value tracking.

Management

Organisation currencies are managed exclusively by users with manager permissions. Managers are responsible for creating the currency and maintaining control over how it is distributed and adjusted within the organisation.

Managers can create or destroy any amount of currency on a user’s balance. This applies to all users who currently have a balance, even if they are no longer members of the organisation. This ensures that managers always retain full authority over the organisation’s internal economy and can correct or rebalance amounts when necessary.

One currency per organisation

Each organisation can only have one active currency, which applies globally across the organisation and is shared by all members.

Restricting organisations to a single currency keeps the system easy to understand and avoids confusion that could arise from managing multiple units of value. Balances remain clear, consistent, and comparable across all members.

Deleting a currency

Deleting an organisation currency is a destructive and irreversible action. When a currency is removed, all associated balances are permanently wiped, and no history is preserved.

Because deleting a currency effectively resets the organisation’s internal economy, it should only be done intentionally and with a clear understanding of the consequences.

Why this feature matters

Organisation currencies provide a structured way to reward work, track contributions, and introduce accountability within an organisation. They allow leaders to clearly recognise logistics efforts, define internal rules around compensation or rewards, and prepare their organisation for more advanced workflows.

This feature is especially valuable for larger or more organised groups that require better visibility and tighter control over internal exchanges.

What’s coming next?

Organisation currencies are a foundational building block. Future updates will build on this system by introducing member-to-member transfers, currency-backed ticket systems, and rewards tied directly to deliveries and other logistics actions.
