Company Profile

Your company profile helps us stay up-to-date with your estimator type, business category, and business specialties so that we can provide updates relevant to you and your team as needed on events and features. To edit this information, select the "Update Information" button under the Company Profile heading.

Tradename

At STACK, trade names are used to add custom brands (such as logos) to your proposals. You can have multiple business names assigned to a company if required. To get started, select "New Trade Name" under Trade Names heading to open the Trade Name Editor window.

Use the "Trade Name" field to enter your business name and enter your address and contact information to include your business information in your proposal.

Select "Change Logo" to upload a logo. The preferred logo format is .PNG, but .JPG and .GIF files of any size can also be used. Once your image is uploaded, you can crop, rotate or enhance it with our editing tools before hitting "Done" to add the logo.

When you have updated all the desired fields, select "Save" at the bottom of the window to save your changes and return to the company profile page.
