Create and Manage Companies | Online Help - Bigin by Zoho CRM

Create and Manage Companies

The organization with which you hold a business relationship, can be added as companies in your Bigin account. Normally, a single company can have one or more contacts associated with it. 
Adding all necessary informations such as name, address, phone number, email helps in getting in touch with them easily.
The record details page displays everything that you need to know about a company under relevant related list tabs like activities, notes, email interactions, social interactions, pipelines and attachments. The record details page also displays the history of everything that is done to a record in the Companies Module under the Timeline tab.
You can view the list of companies using the standard list views available or create a custom list view of your choice. Various actions such s sending mass email, adding or removing tags, updating a field, changing the owner of a record can be done from list view.
