Practical steps

Use this as a working checklist. The advice is useful on its own; MyTitan is introduced only where the workflow naturally benefits from being connected.

Step 1

Decide what belongs on the customer record

Customer records should hold durable information: contact details, preferences, trade-account context, past work and important notes.

  • Separate customer facts from job-only notes
  • Keep billing contacts clear
  • Avoid storing sensitive details without a reason
Step 2

Connect work history

A useful customer record shows the work relationship over time, not just a name and phone number.

  • Link jobs and quotes to the customer
  • Keep approvals and portal access nearby
  • Make repeat work easy to find
Step 3

Maintain quality

Customer data gets worse when duplicate records are easy to create and hard to reconcile.

  • Search before creating
  • Use consistent naming
  • Review duplicates during quiet admin periods
Example

What this looks like in practice

  • A repeat customer's previous jobs are visible before quoting.
  • The billing contact is distinct from the operational contact.
  • Portal access is reviewed from the customer context.
Checklist

Before you move on

  • Customer records are not duplicated unnecessarily.
  • Job history is easy to find.
  • Only appropriate customer-safe details are surfaced externally.
