Add to the database:
You can add customers, work addresses, suppliers. This is important as you will need to update your database when you get a new customer/supplier.
Customers are very important within Commusoft. Without them, you won't be able to create estimates, jobs, or service reminders. A customer is anyone who you perform works for. They can be private customers, businesses, estate agents etc.
A work address is a property where jobs are carried out. This property is owned by a customer, such as tenant properties.
Suppliers are very important within Commusoft. Without them, you won't be able to create purchase orders, supplier invoices or credit notes. A supplier is anyone who provides parts or services to you.
Searching in Commusoft allows you to quickly find a customer account, estimate, job, purchase order etc. You can quickly type in any details and Commusoft will show you the data that matches.
Add estimates/jobs:
Adding an estimate/job/normal event is the next step you will need to learn. When you receive a call/email from a customer asking for an estimate/job/service, you will need to book an event for them. This can be done within the diary, or within the customer account.
