Add a contractor organization

How it works

A contractor organization is any company that employs people who come to your location as part of their work. Each organization has a set of members linked to them and has a profile in OnLocation. 

There are two different ways to add a contractor organization, one at a time or in bulk with the CSV template. If you are only adding one or two organizations, adding them manually is best, as you can add more details. 

If you need to record information that is not included in the default fields for organizations, add custom fields in Contractor Manager before adding new organizations.
