The Basics: Lesson 3 - Core Modules
This article explains the five core Zuper modules—Customers, Properties, Assets, Jobs, and Parts—and shows how to view, create, and edit records within each module for daily system use.
Zuper is built around five core operational modules. These modules work together to manage your entire service workflow—from customer information to equipment tracking, job execution, and inventory management.
Each module follows a consistent structure:
-
What the module is
-
How to view records
-
How to add records
-
How to edit records
Understanding how these modules connect is essential for navigating Zuper efficiently and maintaining clean, accurate data.
1. Customers
What This Module Is
The Customers module is the foundation of your Zuper system. Every job, property, and asset is tied to a customer record.
This module stores:
-
Customer contact information
-
Phone numbers and email addresses
-
Billing information
-
Associated properties
-
Related assets
-
Job history
If it involves a person or company you perform work for, it begins with a Customer record.

Properties allow you to separate service history and assets by location while still keeping them tied to the correct customer.
