Before you start

  • You have the customer's name and at least one reliable way to contact them.

What you'll do

You will create one accurate customer record that the office can safely use for quotes, jobs, invoices, and messages.

Add the customer

  1. 1

    Open Customers

    Choose Customers, then New Customer or Create Customer.

  2. 2

    Enter the customer's real name

    Use the person or company name your team will recognize in search and on documents.

  3. 3

    Add contact information

    Enter a working phone number and email. Confirm spelling before sending invitations or invoices.

  4. 4

    Add the service address

    Use the location where crews will perform work. Add gate codes or access instructions in the appropriate notes area.

    Save and check for duplicates

    Save, then search the name, phone, and email to make sure a second record was not created.
