Purpose

Returns the list of client (carrier) companies that the authenticated user can access. Call this method before AddClaim — AddClaim requires either a valid ClientCompanyID or an exact-match ClientCompanyName from this list.

Endpoint

Method: GetClientCompanies
SOAPAction (1.1): "https://ftservices.onlinereportinginc.com/v2/GetClientCompanies"
Parameter wrapper: <oParms>

Authentication

Standard credentials apply. Login, Password, and CompanyKey are passed inside the <oParms> wrapper. See Authentication & Authorization.

Parameters

Name	Type	Required	Description
`Login`	string	yes	Authorized FileTrac system login.
`Password`	string	yes	Password for the login.
`CompanyKey`	string	yes	The unique company code provided by FileTrac.
`CompanyName`	string	no	Partial-match filter on company name. When omitted, returns all accessible companies.
`IncludeInactives`	boolean	no	Default `false`. Set `true` to include inactive companies in the result.

Response

Returns a list of ClientCompanyExtract objects. Each object contains identifying and contact information for the client company plus an optional nested Contracts list.

Property	Datatype	Description
`ClientCompanyID`	int	System-generated ID. Use this as `ClientCompanyID` on `AddClaim`.
`ClientCompanyName`	string	Company name. Use this as `ClientCompanyName` on `AddClaim` (must match exactly).
`ClientCompanyCode`	string	Company code.
`ClientCompanyAddr1`	string	Address line 1.
`ClientCompanyAddr2`	string	Address line 2.
`ClientCompanyCity`	string	City.
`ClientCompanyState`	string	State.
`ClientCompanyZIP`	string	ZIP.
`ClientCompanyCountry`	string	Country.
`ClientCompanyPhone`	string	Primary phone.
`ClientCompanyFax`	string	Fax.
`ClientPrimaryFName`	string	Primary contact first name.
`ClientPrimaryLName`	string	Primary contact last name.
`ClientPrimaryEmail`	string	Primary contact email.
`ClientCompanyBDX`	string	Whether the company is a BDX (Bordereaux) account.
`ClientCompanyTaxExempt`	string	Tax-exempt status.
`Contracts`	List of `Contract`	Contracts associated with this company.

Errors

This method does not produce method-specific business errors. Authentication failures are surfaced via ResponseCode per Error Codes & Response Codes. When the authenticated user has no client-company access, the result list is empty.

Remarks

Returns active companies by default. Pass IncludeInactives=true only when reconciling historical data — AddClaim against an inactive company will succeed but is rarely desired.
The CompanyName filter is a partial match on the name. To match a single specific company, prefer pulling the full list and matching locally on ClientCompanyID.
Cache the result. The client-company list changes infrequently. Caching it for the lifetime of a session (or longer with manual invalidation) avoids unnecessary round-trips before every AddClaim call.
The Contracts sub-list is populated by the method. If you only need contract data and not company data, prefer GetClientContracts — it returns contracts across all client companies in a single call.
