How to register

You can be invited by mail or invited by a URL.

  1. Invited by mail

Please click on the "finish registration" button in the mail you received.

You are redirected to our carrier registration page. Your email address will be prefilled but please choose a password, in the first step. Complete some company information (name, address and VAT number), in the second step. Your VAT number will be validated to make sure that your company is only registered once in our system.

If someone of your colleagues has already registered your company in our system, please ask him to complete the registration or invite you.

2. Invited by URL

  • If you are already synced with another Time Slot Booking client, just log in with your credential.
    When you're logged in, you will see all your slots from all your clients in the same view. Easy-peasy, no need to log in into different portals!

  • If it's the first time that you are using the Time Slot Booking software, click on the register button.
    We will ask you to fill in your email address, choose a password and complete some company information (name, address and VAT number). Your VAT number will be validated to make sure that your company is only registered once in our system.
    If someone of your colleagues has already registered your company in our system, please ask him to complete the registration or invite you.

Learn your way around

  • See a list of all your slots in the List view. In here we provide a user-friendly filter and search feature.

  • Get real-time alerts in your Notification centre.

  • Take care of your drivers, license plates and invite users in your Settings.

  • Get access to our documentation or chat with us, in the Help section. We are always eager to help.

  • Manage your account settings in your Profile.

Come on, now you know the structure of the application, we can continue to the setup of your settings. ๐Ÿ‘

Set up your driver's info and license plates

In your setting, you can add:

  • Drivers
    For every driver, you must add a name and you can add a phone number and language.

  • License plate truck and trailer
    You can add license plates, select whether it's a truck license plate or trailer license plate.

Later, when you book a slot or when a warehouse books a slot for you, you can assign a driver and a license plate to the booking.

Invite your colleagues

Don't want to manage everything alone? Time Slot Booking allows you to invite co-workers. Go to settings > users and invite your colleagues through mail or with a URL.

Everyone that you'll invite will have to follow the same onboarding steps as described above and will have the same permissions in the application as you.

Notifications

With push notifications, we will inform you about new or cancelled bookings, accepted booking requests, added milestones,... etc.

Define the alerts you want to receive in your settings. Every user can define these settings for his own.

Contact us - we are here for you!

Please donโ€™t hesitate to chat with us, if you are having difficulties with the setup. We are available between CET working hours.

Hooray, these were the basics to help you set up the applications.
