# Locations

Locations help you structure your organisation clearly and logically. They represent the physical places where your teams work, equipment is stored, or services are delivered—from head offices and warehouses to small remote workspaces. Once created, locations can be used throughout equipme to assign employees, manage services, and organise your overall setup.

equipme offers several flexible ways to create locations, making it easy to start small and scale your structure over time. You can add individual locations manually, import multiple locations using an Excel file, or use HR Sync, which is the recommended method for larger organisations.

[**Create locations manually**](/equipme/my-company/locations/add-locations-manually.md)

For organisations managing only a few locations or needing to add something quickly, the manual method is simplest. Navigate to Locations and select Add Location. Fill in the required details directly in the form and save. This approach works well for smaller setups or occasional additions.

[**Create locations with an Excel import**](/equipme/my-company/locations/import-update-locations-via-excel.md)

If you manage numerous locations or already have your data in a spreadsheet, the Excel import is more efficient. Download the sample file to see the required format, populate it with your data, and upload it to equipme. The system will read your information and create or update locations accordingly. This method maintains organisation and helps prevent duplicate entries. 

**Create locations through HR Sync**

For organisations with larger teams and frequent structural changes, HR Sync is the preferred solution. equipme connects directly to your identity or HR system and automatically imports locations along with all relevant information. This approach minimises manual work, maintains data consistency, and ensures updates are reflected in equipme automatically.
