[G2Mint User Guide](https://help.g2mint.com/en/g2mint-user-guide?hsLang=en) 2. [Engage Locations](https://help.g2mint.com/en/g2mint-user-guide/engage-locations?hsLang=en) June 2, 2025 # Engage Locations ## Add the necessary account types to your G2Mint TMS. ### Common Scenarios/Challenges: The Engage Account feature enables users to establish an entity within the Licensed Account of the TMS, representing an organization or company that will engage in various transactions within the system, such as shipments and settlements. Engage Accounts can take on several personas, including: \- Broker \- Shipper \- Carrier Each type of Engage Account is responsible for managing its specific attributes, including profiles, credit ratings, compliance, and capabilities. Furthermore, every Engage Account can have unique preferences and system settings tailored to its needs. In the G2M TMS, it is mandatory for each Engage Account to have at least one Location (typically designated as a Billing location) and one Contact (which includes a name and email address). ### **Solution Overview:** **Locations** in **Engage** is provides the ability to view all Locations in one Grid view, as well as create new Locations.  Locations can be categorized by their type (Bill To, Remit To, Ship/Receive, Corporate, or Transfer Point), along with location name, address, hours of operation, and accessorial for the licensed account. Certain fields will auto-populate based on the location type throughout the application. An account may have as many Locations as necessary.    ### **How to Create a Client/Vendor Location:** # [Engage: Locations](https://app.guidde.com/playbooks/1txdrsQRi1tEPNvMstSTYi) Engage: Locations is a collection of your Client and Vendor locations, whether Bill To, Ship To, Corporate Offices, etc. ### 1.
