# Companies

**Companies** is where you maintain company records used in the order intake context: legal entities, locations, and how addresses are used - billing and shipping.

Each card represents a company and shows key details such as the company name, location type (for example, warehouse, headquarters, or office), address, and optional role tags.

Each card includes **Edit** and **Delete** actions for managing the record. Select **+ Add new company** to create a new entry. You can also use the sorting option to control the order of the list.

Ensuring the accuracy of this information is essential for resolving customer issues and ensuring the correct address is used when orders are captured from documents. Companies added or updated in the Order Intake Cockpit are also available in the Management Dashboard, and changes in the dashboard are reflected in the cockpit.
