Step by Step:  

1. Add Users within your organization
   1. Note: This feature is not available for free trial customers. Contact sales@G2mint.com for more information.
2. Add your shipping locations by going to the My Account section of the application in the top right. Select Account Name>Locations>+ Create New. 
   1. If you only have 1 location and it was entered in at the time of registration then you've already completed this step! 
      
3. Connect your Carrier Agreements. This will enable you to rate shop all of your carriers in one place and send tender/pick up requests to your desired carriers.
   1. Freight Agreements- Webservice is where you would connect your web enabled LTL and Parcel carrier accounts within G2Mint to pull in your contracted rates.
   2. Freight Agreements- Custom is where you would enter a customized agreement that you have that is not an API connection 
   3. Engage Accounts is where you can add any carriers you wish to send spot quotes (typically TL Carriers).   
4. Create your Address book to simplify shipment creation 
5. Add specialized configurations (Handling Units, Equipment, Commodities, etc.) to save time and decrease potential errors when building quotes or shipments. Standard HUs, Equipment and Commodities are pre-loaded into the system. 
6. Build your first Quote to compare rates or build/rate your first Shipment and simply select Tender/pick up.
