What's inside a company profile

Inside a company profile, you can find:

• A fixed section on the right called Details, showing a set of information describing the company and the first contact date.
• An Opportunities tab, showing the list of all opportunities associated with the company.
• A Contacts tab, showing the list of all people working at the company.
• A Meetings tab, showing the list of all meetings that happened with the company.
• An Attachments tab, where you can upload any related file or email.
• A Database tab, showing the information provided by Inpart Data (only if the company is linked to Inpart Data).

From a company profile, you can:

• Add contacts, in the Contacts tab.
• Create meetings, in the Meetings tab.
• Edit the company details, by clicking Edit at the top right of the company profile.
• View the activity stream of the company.

Create companies

You can add new companies to Inpart Deal in two different ways.

From the master list of companies

Click Companies in the navigation bar to open the companies master list.

Click the Create button.

A creation pop-up will appear.

Start entering the name of the company. A list of potential matching company profiles will be displayed. You can click View next to the suggested profiles to make sure you're not going to create a duplicate of an existing company.

Other profiles are suggested by Inpart Data. If you select one of them, the details of the newly created company in Inpart Deal will be autofilled.

You also have the possibility to create your own company profile if the company doesn't appear in the list prompted by Inpart Data. Click the name of the company under No exact match found for "...". This will create a blank company profile where you'll need to fill out the fields yourself.

When creating an opportunity

You can add a new company when creating a new opportunity that will revolve around this company. At the second step of the opportunity creation, enter the name of the company.

Then, you have two possibilities:

• Select an existing company profile prompted by Inpart Data: Click the corresponding company profile if it appears in the list prompted under Companies found. This way, the company profile will be automatically prefilled with all the information provided by Inpart Data.
• Create your own company profile: If the company doesn't appear in the list prompted by Inpart Data, you can click the field with the name of the company, under No exact match found for "...". This will create a blank company profile where you'll need to fill out the fields yourself.

Link companies together

Link a company profile to another one to always have a comprehensive understanding of their relationship. Click Add in the Related Companies section, pick the company in the existing list, and select their relationship.

These relationships can be customized on the Administration page by users with a Business Admin role. For instance, you can link a venture company to the portfolio companies, link parent and subsidiary companies, or link a consulting firm with their biotech client.

Export companies

Please refer to the Export companies and meetings article.

Delete companies

Open the company page, click the ellipsis icon and select Delete. You can only delete companies that have no related opportunities, contacts, meetings, or agreements. Deleting a company will also delete the related attachments.

Companies linked to Inpart Data and Evaluate Pharma

If you've selected a company with an Inpart Data profile when adding a company, the company profile will display a database icon at the top right of the page with all the information provided by Inpart Data and/or Evaluate Pharma.

This information also appears in the database panel of the related opportunity.

You can choose to unlink the company from Inpart Data if you think that the match that has been made is incorrect. This will remove all information about the external profile and the dedicated section will disappear. However, you'll have the chance to select again the Inpart Data profile when creating a new opportunity if needed.
