There are two options for adding a company to your MobiClocks environment: * Add companies manually. * Import from third parties. The following sections discuss each method in detail. ## Manually add a company > 🔒 PERMISSIONS > > You may create a new company if you have the **Add new company** permission enabled for your role in **Administration > Role Permissions > Job Sites**. Follow these steps to create a new company manually: 1. Navigate to the **Companies** tab on the left-hand navbar of your MobiClocks Web App. 2. Select the **New company** button. 3. Enter a **Company name**. 4. Add a company **Prefix**, which is a unique identifier number for the company that provides an easier way to refer to it. It also serves as a base when [auto-generating employee numbers](https://docs.mobiclocks.com/docs/creating-a-new-employee#step-6-add-an-employee-number). 5. Select a company **Status**, which can be `Active` or `Disabled`. As opposed to `Disabled` companies, `Active` companies are those that are currently working with your organization, providing [employees](https://docs.mobiclocks.com/docs/employee-management) for your [job sites](https://docs.mobiclocks.com/docs/job-sites). If the company's status is switched to `Disabled`, it no longer appears in the list of companies and you are not able to assign employees to it. 6. Select an **Employee number policy**. Each employee in the company is assigned a unique identifying number. Here, you can set whether that number is generated automatically by the system or is added manually when [creating an employee profile](https://docs.mobiclocks.com/docs/creating-a-new-employee). 7. Lastly, select the **Create Company** button to create the company profile and proceed to its [details](https://docs.mobiclocks.com/docs/company-details) page to continue configuring it. ## Import companies from third-party services You can import companies from those MobiClocks [integrations](https://docs.mobiclocks.com/docs/integrations-overview). The integrations that support company importing have a separate **Companies** or **Vendors** tab where the list of companies is available. The following screenshot shows an example of the **Vendors** tab from a [QuickBooks Desktop](https://docs.mobiclocks.com/docs/quickbooks-desktop) integration. Vendors tab in Mobiclocks integration Vendors tab in QuickBooks Desktop See [How integrations work](https://docs.mobiclocks.com/docs/how-integrations-work) for more information on importing data from integrated platforms.
