Inviting Your Partner Contact to Shippabo
On your supply chain network page, inviting your contact at a logistics company is simple. Next to the company name, within the Partner Status column, you'll see Invite to Network. This indicates that you still need to invite your contact at that company to the Shippabo platform.
Pressing Invite to Network will bring up a new prompt. In this form, you'll be able to add your contacts details. If you'd like to invite them to use the Shippabo platform, click the “Send Invitation Email” option in the bottom left. They'll receive instructions in their email on how to log into the platform. Your logistics partners can also receive a short training from our team!
If you would like to add a contact to your partners network, but do not want that contact to access the Shippabo platform, simply add them and no not select the “Send Invitation Email”. Their contact information will be saved but they will not receive access to the platform.
