How can I store customer information in Service Desk?

Question

We are an organization that has external 'customers'. Each 'customer' to us is a company, not a person. Therefore, a 'customer' can contain hundreds of people. Service requests can come from any one of these people and not necessarily a specific person. I am having a few problems getting this concept to mesh with what Service Desk offers.

A) it seems I have to 'invite' someone if I want them to be entered as a 'customer'. I cannot spam thousands of users with Service Desk invites just to make sure they are in the system.

B)  For the 'customers' that are in service desk I don't see a way to store any kind of information for them. i.e. phone number, who their support contact is, address, etc.

I am beginning to think that Service Desk is meant more for internal support within an organization instead of support outside an organization.

That open feature that you mentioned is opened for years without any dev. And it's for server and not Cloud.
