# Using the Business Location Service Portal

Use the Business Location Service Portal \(BLSP\) available with the Customer Service Management \(CSM\) application as a one-stop shop to manage the internal and external organizations \(formerly internal and external business locations\).

**Important:** Some table and field labels have been changed across recent releases. For a mapping of former labels to current labels, see [Service Model Foundation renamed Entities](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/customer-service-management/renamed-entities.md).

-   Get a 360º view of a business location.
-   Add and manage staff members.
-   Submit cases against business organizations \(formerly business locations\), sold products, or install base items deployed at a service organization.
-   Access Knowledge Base articles and engage with the community.
