A practical setup order for your company, your team, and your first connected job.

Screenshots use example records. Select any image to enlarge it. Your company’s fields, permissions, and configuration may differ.

Start in the right workspace

Sign in with the account invited to your company. If you belong to more than one organization, choose the one you intend to work in. The pages and controls you can use depend on your role, company settings, and enabled features.

Set up the company and team

In System settings, review Company profile, including the company name, logo, and regional defaults. Use Users & access for members, teams, and departments, then review Roles & permissions. Assign access according to each person’s work, including any separate access to pricing and internal costs.

  1. Open System settings → Company profile to check the company identity and logo.

Follow the company and team setup guide

Define the work you do

Set up Job types and the sales, project, and service pipelines your company uses. Review Calendar & resources before assigning crews. Add the Company Fields you need so required information is collected consistently. Your company can customize labels, so some fields may look different from the examples in these guides.

Bring in customers

Search Customers before adding a new record. Keep the customer’s contacts and job properties together, then create separate opportunities for separate jobs. If you are moving from another CRM or spreadsheet, use Import data and review a small file before importing the rest.

Prepare and review a CSV import

Prepare reusable pricing and documents

Review Price Book items, costs, and bundles. Publish the proposal and contract templates you will use, and set up payment schedules for deposits and later milestones. If you use Google Docs templates, review the published Soffyt version as well as the source document.

Build and review your first quote

Configure the handoff to operations

Create and publish your project flows, set the company fallback or contract-specific defaults, and review the signed-quote handoff automation. Acceptance can create or connect the project, but crew appointments still need to be scheduled. Check the project’s scope, tasks, owner, and payment plan before work begins.

Set up project flows and handoff defaults

Connect the services you need

Connect personal or shared email, Google Drive templates, and Stripe only where your company needs them. Check account identities, permissions, and connection status. Before any real collection, verify that payments are in live mode and ready; test receipts can affect the workspace’s balances even though no money is collected.

Review connections and setup requirements

Walk through one complete job

Use clearly identified sample records to rehearse the process with your team. Review the customer, opportunity, quote, project, appointment, documentation, and payment records in order. Check the customer-facing view before sharing anything. Resolve missing fields, unclear ownership, and configuration errors before bringing the rest of the team into the workflow.
