That is the easiest way.  Consider this though. 
Depending on how important you as a vendor are to the
customer  and how it is the purchasing agent agregates
orders (ie does each branch make their "ABC, Inc
order" or do they requisition specefic items and the
purchasing agent sorts out the vendor? you may be able
to position your company into their administrative
process (which makes it harder for them to get rid of
you) by having each branch manager place an order
against their account and allow for the purchasing
agent to approve/edit the order before it becomes
their purchase order.

If you were able to convince them of this strategy the
branches would be able track their orders directly
through your site as opposed to hunting down the
purchasing agent to get the tracking info from you and
then him relay it to the branch or worse having the
purchasing agent allow other people to access his
login.  You would also know order specifics before the
purchasing agent has placed the firm order.  It also
makes it easier to create reports for your customer
based on branches or regions using party groups.  I've
hacked this implementation into my custom ecommerce
app if you're interested in an idea on how to
implement it.  I've been trying to find the time to
genericize it into the wholesale app.

for your situation. That should be a pretty easy
template change.
