The Companies app stores detailed information about the companies you work with. To go to the app, open CRM > Companies.
Here are the main features of the Companies app:
- A company can be linked with a contact, a deal, or a lead as well as all of these apps at the same time.
- If a company is linked with a contact, a deal, or a lead, any changes in these objects appear on the company‘s page.
- One company can be linked with several deals, leads, and contacts.
- You can create CRM tasks for a company, for example, schedule calls, webinars, or emails. They will be shown on the company’s page.
- Companies can be linked to each other to create a hierarchical organizational structure. To do this, the parent company and its subsidiary branches are indicated on their pages.
- Companies is a built-in app. This means that other apps and workspaces can have links to Companies and still be exported to your PC as .e365 files or to BRIX Store.
