External companies

Add the companies that work on your premises and their employees, and see at a glance whether their documentation is up to date.

In Companies you manage the external companies that provide services on your premises (cleaning, maintenance, security, building contractors…), their employees and the documents you require from them. In the rest of the panel, the employees of these companies are called Services.

To open it, click Companies in the side menu of the Visits panel.

To find a company:

  • Type part of the name in Search for companies.
