Team Activity
It's important to maintain a good relationship with your existing customers, as happy customers tend to buy more and they may even recommend you to new Customers. This feature is built for account management and it lets you log all your interactions with your existing customers. You can even record an expense and tie them to the Customer. If you have a Xero integration, these expenses will also flow into Xero as draft Bills to Pay.
