#Create and manage companies in Smart CRM

Company records provide the shared organization context for customer contacts, opportunities, tasks, notes, and approved custom fields.

#Who this is for

Use this guide when a customer, prospect, partner, or supplier organization needs an ongoing shared record.

#Create a company

  1. Open Companies and search first.
  2. Compare similar names using website, domain, phone, country, address, and known contacts.
  3. Select Create only when no matching record exists.
  4. Enter verified details and the correct account owner when applicable.
  5. Save, then link people, tasks, notes, and opportunities to this company.

#Maintain one organization record

Update the existing company as information changes. Do not create a second record just to record a new contact, meeting, or opportunity. Open the company record to review related people, tasks, and notes in one context.

#FAQ

#How do I distinguish companies with similar names?

Compare website, email domain, phone, country, address, and known contacts before creating or editing a company.

#Where should meeting context be stored?

Use a note linked to the company or related record; keep reusable structured facts in the appropriate standard or custom field.
