"I'm not superstitious, but I am a little stitious." - Michael Scott, The Office

Offices are buildings, but what is inside of them among the cables, the plaster and the glass windows (for some), are people working, working for a company. A company of people, working.

Being a Company Administrator, it's up to you to manage the data from the working people, within the company which includes ensure the setup is correct for reporting purposes. Luckily within the Locomote Corporate Travel Platform, setting up a Company Office is pretty easy.

But you may be asking yourself, Self - why, oh why do we need a Company Office?

That's simple Self. The purpose of the Office field is for reporting purposes e.g. how many travellers from XYZ Office travelled to Sydney. By reporting, we're keeping the people above happy.
