Why Use Accounts?
- •When you have multiple contacts at the same company, accounts prevent duplicate data entry.
- •Account-level reports show total deal value, revenue, and activity per company.
- •Invoices are raised at the account level for clean billing records.
- •Quickly see if any team member is already talking to someone at a company before you reach out.
Linking Existing Contacts to an Account
Open a contact → edit → Account field → type the company name and select it. Or: open the Account → Contacts tab → Add Contact → select from existing contacts or create a new one.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need accounts or can I just use contacts?
Accounts are optional. For B2C businesses (selling to individuals), you may never need them. For B2B (selling to companies), accounts are very useful for tracking multiple contacts and deals at the same company.
Can I merge two duplicate accounts?
Vedain does not have a built-in merge tool for accounts. To merge manually: move all contacts and deals from the duplicate to the correct account, then delete the duplicate.
Can I have contacts without an account?
Yes. The Account field is optional when creating a contact. You can leave it blank and add an account later.
