**Key Changes**:
```php
// Before - Generic error
} catch (\Exception $e) {
    return redirect()->route('company-settings.edit')
        ->with('error', 'Failed to upload logo. Please try again.');
}

// After - Detailed error logging
} catch (\Exception $e) {
    \Log::error('Logo upload failed: ' . $e->getMessage(), [
        'company_id' => $company->id,
        'exception' => $e
    ]);
    return redirect()->route('company-settings.edit')

```php
if ($user->role === 'superadmin') {
    // Super admin sees all logs
} elseif ($user->role === 'company_admin') {
    // Company admin sees only their company's logs
} else {
    // Meter reader and cashier see no logs
    abort(403, 'Unauthorized to view logs');
}
```

1. **Action**: create, update, delete
2. **Model Type**: Company, Client, Billing, Payment, User, etc.
