This article explains what needs to be done in order to use the supplier booking functionality in your Forto account.

To get started with supplier booking, follow these three simple steps:

  1. If you have never added a supplier before, read this article to learn how to add your first supplier.

  2. Find a booking template that has been assigned to the same supplier. If you would like to learn how to assign a booking template, you can click here.

  3. Optionally, you can also activate your instant notification for new booking requests to make sure you receive the proper notifications.

Once you have a supplier and an assigned booking template.

Depending on how you set up the booking template, shipments booked by the supplier will require approval from a supervisor/administrator. You can find detailed instructions on approving or rejecting booking requests here.

If you have any questions about supplier booking and its use, please get in touch with your Operations Manager.
