What good looks like

A customer with a primary contact, service site, billing details, communication preferences, and useful operating notes.

Have these details ready

  • Customer or business name
  • Primary contact and service address
  • Billing address, payment terms, and tax treatment when known

Run the workflow

  1. Search before creating

    Search by name, phone, email, and address. Check spelling variations and household or parent-company relationships.

  2. Enter account identity

    Use the name staff should recognize. Record a separate legal or company name when it differs from the display name.

  3. Add contacts and preferences

    Add primary, billing, property manager, tenant, or site contacts. Mark the preferred contact method and note who may approve work.

  4. Add the service site

    Enter the full address, access instructions, unit or gate details, hazards, and site notes. Keep billing information separate when invoices go elsewhere.

  5. Set billing context

    Confirm payment terms, tax status, purchase-order requirements, and statement preferences. Attach exemption evidence instead of relying on a note.

  6. Review the profile

    Scan contacts, sites, preferences, and billing details from the perspective of a dispatcher and technician.

Check your work

Do not call the workflow complete until these statements are true.

  • The customer is returned by phone, email, and address searches
  • At least one usable contact and service site are present
  • Billing and access instructions are visible

If something does not look right

One customer has several properties

Keep one account when billing and ownership are shared, then add a separate site for each location.

A tenant requests work

Record the tenant as a site contact and document who can approve charges before quoting or dispatching.
