Narrow down your search by entering some or all of the following
- key words (i..e, drainage, cctv)
- the company name, or part of it
- the company location
- the company’s domain (i.e., Okappy’s domain is okappy.com)
Click Search to find any companies matching your search criteria.
If you have found the company you want to connect to, click Connect.
Choose whether the company is your customer or subcontractor and click Next.
You can enter a message or use the default and then click Send request.
An email invite will be sent to the email address advising that you would like to connect.
If you are connecting as a customer, you can start adding jobs on their behalf straight away.
If you are connecting as a subcontractor, they will need to accept your invite before you can start assigning jobs to them.
