AccuTask has a Customer Relationship Management (CRM) module that you can use for storing information about your customers and contacts.

Your corporate and other organizational customers may be saved as Companies in the CRM module. Contact persons for these customers are saved as Contacts first, then linked to a Company, if applicable. Individual clients may also be saved as Contacts.

Linking a company with a contact and vice-versa can be performed from either the Companies or the Contacts pages.

Contacts, whether linked to companies or not, may be given access to their specific Project pages within AccuTask.
