Before your team can start using Transport Vendor Management, an administrator must complete the Setup Wizard. This is a one-time process that verifies permissions, creates data types and flows, and sets up the automations that power the task chain.
The Setup Wizard checks for 16 platform permissions across Data Type, Data Source, Task, Flow, Automation, Team, and User categories. Make sure your role has these before starting.

Starting the Setup Wizard

When you open Transport Vendor Management for the first time, the Setup Wizard appears automatically. You can also re-run it later by clicking the gear icon (⚙) on the Order Management page and selecting Setup Wizard.
Setup Wizard welcome screen

The Setup Wizard opens automatically on first access, showing 6 steps: Introduction, Permission, Data Setup, Flow, Integration, and Review & Activate.

Step 1: Welcome

The welcome screen explains the main features of Transport Vendor Management:
  • Order Management — create and manage delivery orders to vendors
  • Fleet Management — manage vendor vehicle data
  • Task Chain — automatic pickup and delivery via automation
  • Tracking — monitor delivery status in real-time
It also describes what will be configured:
  1. Verify required permissions
  2. Configure order format and operational hub
  3. Setup DataType for orders and vehicles
  4. Setup Flow and Automation for task chain
  5. Review and activate the add-on
Click Continue to proceed.

Step 2: Verify Permissions

The wizard checks that your account has the required platform permissions.
