Overview
The Company Configuration section in NextCrew 2.0 allows staffing agencies to define business-wide settings that influence communication, branding, financial preferences, compliance, and security policies. These configurations impact how the platform interacts with clients, crew members, and internal users, and therefore should only be managed by authorized administrators.
Configurations in this section cover key areas such as email communication, portal branding, social media integration, user password rules, session security, and task management. Adjusting these preferences helps agencies align the system with their operational workflows and compliance standards.
