Tired of juggling client information across spreadsheets and multiple systems? Imagine a world where every reservation, every project, and every client interaction is seamlessly connected and easily accessible in one central hub. With Beam's new Companies feature, that world is now a reality. The Companies module was designed to streamline how you manage your clients and their associated projects, bringing greater context and efficiency to your daily operations.
What is the Companies module?
Think of the Companies module as a dedicated hub in Beam for all your client information. Within this hub, each of your clients has a profile that brings together all the important details about their projects. It provides you with a straightforward way to see everything about a client in one place. Specifically, each company profile shows you:
- Who they are and what they do
- What projects they have scheduled
- What equipment is linked to those projects
- A built-in chat area to discuss that client with your team
Just like everywhere else in Beam, the Companies module is deeply integrated throughout the rest of the platform. For example, you can link every Reservation with a Company so that when you are working on a project you know who it serves.
Why does it matter and who benefits?
This feature brings significant value, particularly for our Rental and OB users, by increasing the efficiency of key operational workflows
- Enriched Reservations: You'll gain deeper context for every reservation by linking it directly to the client it serves. This provides a clearer picture of the project's purpose and requirements, which is crucial for efficient planning and execution.
- Client-Level Visibility: You'll be able to access a centralized operational view of all your client information, including associated projects and resources. This allows for better oversight and planning of client relationships and upcoming work.
- Enhanced Collaboration: A dedicated history comment chat area within each company record facilitates seamless team collaboration for you and your colleagues. This is essential for coordinating efforts and ensuring everyone on the team has access to the latest client information.
The Future of Companies in Beam
This initial release of the Companies module is a foundational step towards a more connected and efficient way to manage all your client interactions within Beam. We envision Companies evolving to become the central nervous system for your client relationships, bringing together even more aspects of your workflow. Looking ahead, the potential is vast. Imagine a truly unified client management experience where every touchpoint, from initial contact to project completion and beyond, is seamlessly integrated and easily accessible. Envision gaining deeper, more actionable insights into your client base and operational efficiency through advanced analytics built upon this centralized company data.
We're incredibly excited about the journey ahead for the Companies module, and its development will be shaped by your experience and feedback. We believe this feature will fundamentally enhance your ability to manage client relationships and project details within Beam.
