 * So to be clear, you want the contents of the tabs to display custom field data,
   as opposed to content put directly into the WordPress editor.
 * Would that be an accurate description of what you’re trying to accomplish?

 * Easiest way i can think of doing this is to create your own shortcode(s) to fetch
   the company data for you. You could have the shortcode(s) support a few attributes
   to cover fetching a series of fields.
 * The reason i suggest a shortcode specifically is because it’s then just a matter
   of entering your shortcode inside the tab shortcodes, eg.
 *     ```
       [tab name="example"]
       [yourcompanyshortcode][/yourcompanyshortcode]
       [/tab]
       ```
   
 * How code able are you? Have you read any documentation for coding in WordPress
   or sought after any particular solutions so far? Do you have experience writing
   PHP?
 * Your support request does extend beyond the realm of plugin hacking/support to
   some degree, but that said, i’m more than happy to assist if you just need some
   direction or even if you need some code to work from(ie. give you a base to build
   from).
