Overview

Customer data can be edited at any time on the customer detail page. You can change master data, add notes or delete a customer entirely.

Only admins can delete customers. Masters and Office users can edit customers. Journeymen have no access to customer management.


Editing customer data

  1. Go to Customers and click on the desired customer
  2. Click the Edit button in the top right
  3. Change the desired fields (company name, address, contact person, email, phone)
  4. Click Save

You'll be redirected back to the customer detail page automatically.


Adding notes

On the customer detail page you'll find a yellow note field. Use it for internal notes – e.g. special agreements, payment behaviour or directions.

Notes are only visible to your team and are never printed on invoices or quotes.


Deleting customers

When deleting, Meistify distinguishes two cases:

Customer without invoices

The customer is completely removed from the database – including all linked construction sites and orders without finalised invoices.

Customer with invoices

Customers with finalised invoices cannot be deleted for legal compliance reasons. Instead, the customer is anonymised:

  • All personal data (name, address, email, phone) is removed
  • The customer appears as "Anonymised customer" in existing invoices
  • Invoice data is preserved for accounting purposes

To delete a customer:

  1. Go to the customer detail page
  2. Click Actions β†’ Delete customer
  3. Confirm in the dialog

Deletion or anonymisation cannot be undone.
