Customer Companies
A customer company is the organisation behind individual customers - a school whose staff order lunches, a hotel whose departments buy supplies, a corporate account with several people placing orders. It lets many customers roll up to one relationship.

What a company record holds
| Field | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Name | The organisation as it should appear on documents |
| Mobile | The account contact - usually the person who resolves payment questions |
| Logo | Displayed where the account is presented, useful on portals and statements |
| Group | The customer group the company belongs to, which is what drives its pricing |
The group is the field that does the work. Assigning a company to a wholesale or corporate group means every customer belonging to it gets that group's prices without anyone remembering to apply a discount - the pricing follows the relationship rather than the person on the phone.
Set up a corporate account
- Create the company with its legal name, since that is the name that must appear on invoices they will pay through their own accounts department.
- Assign the Group that carries the agreed pricing. Get this right before the first order, because retroactively repricing invoices is far harder than setting the group.
- Add the account contact's mobile - the person who answers when an invoice is queried, not necessarily the person who orders.
- Link the individual customers who belong to the company.
- For period billing, use consolidation invoices so the company receives one document rather than one per order.

- Quick search - matches the page's primary field.
- Filter chips + More Filters - the chips are your defaults; More Filters exposes the full set below.
- Save Filter / Saved Filters - name a filter combination and recall it in one click; one can be your default view.
- Reset - clears filters back to defaults.
- Export All - downloads the current filtered rows with exactly the columns you have selected.
- Focus - hides the surrounding chrome for a full-width table.
- Row selection - the header checkbox selects the page or all matching rows, enabling bulk actions.
- Rows per page and page jumper - at the foot of the table.
- Custom fields - anything you define under Settings > Custom Fields appears here as both a column and a filter.
