Before you begin

Step-by-step guide

  1. Open Create Company

    After you sign in for the first time, your Shipments page is empty. Select Create Company.

    The empty Shipments page with the Create Company button highlighted.
    Step 1

  2. Choose to create a Company

    If a colleague has invited you, open the invitation link you received instead; you do not need a new Company. To set up your own, select Create company.

    The Create company page with Company invitations and the Create company button highlighted.
    Step 2

  3. Enter your Company name

    In Company details, enter your Company name (up to 200 characters). Nothing is created until you submit the form.

    The Company details dialog with the Company name filled in.
    Step 3

  4. Create the Company

    Select Create company.

    The Create company button highlighted in the Company details dialog.
    Step 4

  5. Check your Company

    Your Company page opens. You are the Owner. Use Users & access to invite your team when you are ready. To create shipments, your Company needs credits and an active subscription, which adds credits every month; the available options are under Plan & payments.

    The new Company page showing you as Owner, with the Users & access tab highlighted.
    Step 5

  6. Go to Shipments

    On Shipments, select New shipment to create your first shipment.

    The empty Shipments page with the New shipment button highlighted.
    Step 6

Expected result

Your Company is active and you are its Owner. Your Shipments page now offers New shipment.
