Orientation in the system

After logging in, three main navigation modes can be seen:

PROFILE – your own section in which you can change the information about your company, keep your documentation, info about subscription, newsletters etc.

ENTER – is a section in which you can enter the information about your vehicles, loads etc.

SEARCH – is a section in which you can search for available vehicles, loads, companies etc.

Click on any of these modes and a menu appears on the left that will enable to meet your requirements.

PROFILE

> MY INFO - my representation and control: membership (subscription), status of the company (authorized/unauthorized) ,feedback (you may respond to each company rating), contact information and company documents, my vehicles and loads (only those may be represented that are “inactive”, i.e. the active date of which has already expired)

> MY VEHICLES/LOADS – an overview of all notes and their editing – the tables used in this system are of the “composite” type which means that only the most important points appear in the first level table and by clicking an item in the first level table, another table of the second level appears, etc. The individual items can be edited or deleted.

> FAVORITE VEHICLES/LOADS/COMPANIES – any company that you like to make business with can be marked as “favorite”, similarly preferred loads and vehicles can be marked in the same way,. so that you do not have to search for them again. This list can be edited, items added or deleted

> CONTACTS – in this section you can define the employees in your company who should be contacted. This will make it easier for your clients to open negotiations.

> DOCUMENTS – company’s permits and certificates to do business should be stored here for your clients to review and print so that you will not have to fax them every time when you client wants to see them. If you do not have these documents in an electronic format, you can fax them to us on 00420 226 015 477 and we shall enter them into your profile (don’t forget to write your TIPTrans ID number on each document)

> SUBSCRIPTION – here you can extend your subscription – we will generate for you an invoice for any time period you require. Here you can also view your payment history

> MESSAGES SENT/RECEIVED - this is a list of all messages sent and received by the TIPTrans messenger. Individual messages can be deleted at your will. You don’t need to check the file “received” every time you open the system since the system will prompt you when a new message is received. To send a message you can use the icon of “flying mail” that shows up whenever you start searching for loads/vehicles/companies or whenever you look up a contact person. Alternatively, you can use the link “send a message by the messenger” that will appear with the profile of each company.

> RECOMMEND AND WIN - if you recommend us a company for a new member then you will both win

ENTER

It is very simple to enter new data. Choose from the menu what do you want to enter and just fill in the boxes on the right hand side. As everywhere else, the box marked in bold are compulsory. The more information you give, the higher is the chance that your offer will be found by the right partner.

If a certain offer is used often then it could be used as a template and reused again and again. All what is needed is to click “save as a template” including your name (e.g PHA-OST, 2A5 1254) and then to click “enter in the system”. As soon as you will have at least one template in the system, a pull-down menu My Templates will appear on the left from which you can find the right template.

SEARCH

Also searching is very simple – just choose what you want to search for and fill in the necessary search parameters on the right. It is sufficient to fill in only one column and left the remaining empty. Often you need to type only a few initial characters. For example to search for a company called TIPTrans.com s.r.o. you need to click on SEARCH, then SEARCH A COMPANY and in the column COMPANY you need to write only TIP and then click SEARCH and the TIPTrans.com company will show up. To find details about the company, such as its rating or to get in touch with it, you need to click on the company name.

If you are looking for a load or vehicle keep t in mind that all lines can be opened by clicking and that only then you will get its details and the way to contact it.Further, you can arrange the obtained information in any way you like – you only need to click on the column and data will be rearranged.

You can save both the favorites as well as the templates in the same way as it was described in “ENTER”.
