    • Phone number (with or without formatting)
    • Email address
    • Street, city, state, or ZIP code
  2. Results update automatically as you type. A "Searching..." message appears while the system looks up matches.

Tips for Effective Searching

Empty and Loading States

What you can search by

You can enter one or more words in any order. Search is case-insensitive and ignores punctuation.

Tip: Combine terms to narrow results. For example: acme john boston 02110.

How matching works

The system uses a blend of matching methods to catch both exact and “close” matches:

If your query is empty or only spaces, no results are returned.

Ranking - why some results appear first

Results are scored and sorted so the most relevant show up first. In addition to text relevance, we boost:

What the results show

Each result is a Customer with:

Note: Only current relationships and active services are shown. Deleted records are excluded.

Tips for better results

Troubleshooting

If you have questions or think a record is missing, contact your administrator—some data (deleted, inactive, or non-current relationships) is intentionally hidden from search.

Onboarding

Onboarding is another process of adding a New customer, but adds all the necessary steps to fully bring in a new customer in an all in one Wizard rather than just quick creating a New Customer. That includes setting the Location, Adding Taxes and Labels, adding Systems and Equipment, Services and Holds, and Adding a Credit card to the account. For more information see the Onboarding guide.

Tips & troubleshooting

New Customer

Onboarding

Introduction

The onboarding process allows for a New Customer to be added to the system, but rather than just creating the customer only, as seen on the Adding a New Customer page, Onboarding allows for the entire process to be done at once to make adding New Customers easier and allow for quicker services to be provided to the New Customer. To reach the Onboarding process, first click on the Search button on the side menu to reach the Account Search page, then click on the Onboard button located in the middle of the page or on the top right corner of the page. Clicking on the three bars on the top left corner of the page will expand the side menu for easier access.

Onboarding

After clicking on the Onboard button, the Customer Onboarding wizard will appear and then the process of onboarding can begin by filling out each page of the wizard. The Wizard initially opens with tabs for Customer, Location, and Credit Cards. After filling out the Customer and Location tabs, the rest of the wizard will open up and Labels & Taxes, Systems and Services will be added as tabs that can be filled out. Filling out each page is optional and only the Customer page is required to create a new account. Doing this will skip the other information for the customer and should only be done as a necessity. If done that way, fully onboarding a customer outside of this wizard can be seen on the Adding a New Customer guide page. The Onboarding process starts with...

Create Customer

Here is where the customers basic information can be input into the following fields

After filling out all the information, clicking on Create Customer & Continue will create the customer and the Wizard will continue. The rest of the wizard can be skipped, if necessary, by clicking Skip Location on the next page and then clicking on Complete Onbaording to create the Customers Account. Skipping these steps will require the rest of the customers information to be filled out individually. A guide on how to do the rest of the steps individually can be seen on the Adding a New Customer guide. Otherwise the wizard continues with...

Adding Service Location

Next on the wizard is adding a service location for the customer. In the Search Address box, type in the customers address, if the address already exist in the system, the customer can be linked to the address by selecting an address, then selecting the Link Type (see below for more information) for the customer and then clicking on Link & Continue. This will link the New Customer to an existing location.

If not, then click on Continue with Address to open Add Service Location page and fill out the following

A more detailed look at locations can be seen on the Location Management page. After all information is filled out and the map properly displays the customers location, clicking on Create Location & Continue will advance the Wizard to...

Labels, Taxes & Promotions

The next step to onboarding a customer is adding labels, taxes and promotions to their account. Customer and Location labels are used for giving a little more description to both the customer as well as the customers location, Taxes are used for adding taxes to any services provided for the customer, and Promotions are used to give the customer specific discounts or even penalty charges if certain criterias are or arent met. All of these can be added to the customers account here, but must first be created in the settings page under admin in order to be applied. To begin, select an option from each of the following categories, clicking on an item in each of the dropdowns will automatically add it to each category

These items can easily be removed by simply clicking on the X next to each option selected. If a tax is created as default, it will be added automatically to every new customer created and cannot be added here, but will appear after the account has been created. A Tax that isn't set to default can be added here on the other hand. After adding any of the above to the page, clicking on continue will apply all labels, taxes and promotions to the account and the wizard will continue onto...

Fuel Systems

The next step in the wizard is to add a system to the customers location. Systems are used to represent multiple euipments linked to the same fill connections, such as multiple tanks used to feed the same home appliance. For more information on Fuel System, see the General guide. To begin adding a system, first click on the Add System button to bring up the add systems popup. Once generated, the follwing fields should be filled out

For a more in depth look on Fuel Systems and adding them outside of the Onboarding Process, see The Adding a System Guide. After filling out the above information, clicking on save will save the information and add the system to the onboarding page. Clicking cancel will close out the window and delete all information added to the system. Equipment will need to be added next to complete the system for usage. To add equipment, click on Add Equipment to open the Add Equipment popup and fill out the following fields

For a more a more in depth look on Equipment and adding them outside of the Onboarding process, see the Adding Equipment Guide. While adding equipment isn't necessary for continuing the wizard, a system will not be usable without it and trying to continue will trigger a warning on the page that equipment was not added. Clicking on Go Back will close the warning box and allow for equipment to be added and clicking on Proceed will advance the Wizard without equipment being added.

Multiple Systems and Equipments can be added simply by clicking on Add Systems then clicking on Add Equipment under each system. Once both the Systems and, optionally, Equipments are added, they will appear on the page. They can be deleted by clicking on the trash can button next to the System and equipment. Clicking on Continue will add them to the customers account and advance the Wizard to...

Service

The next step of the Wizard is adding a Service to the customers account. A service is a product or service that's associated with the Customer and Location. In order to add a service, click on the Add Service button to open the Add Service popup and the following fields should be filled out

For a more in depth look on Services or adding a service outside of the wizard, see the Adding Services guide. Once finished, clicking on Save Service will add the service to the onboarding page and now a hold can be placed on the account if necessary. In the event that the new customer cannot start paying right away or if fuel cannot be delivered until a certain point, a hold can be placed on the account until any issues are resolved and the new customer is ready to fully get started. To begin the process of creating a Hold, click on the Add Hold button and the Add Hold popup will appear and the type of hold will need to be selected. Depending on the hold selected, a different popup will appear and the following will need to be filled out

After selecting the fuel type, a table will show with any systems created on the previous section of the Onboarding process and will show the following

For a more in depth look on holds, see the Holds guide. After filling out all information, clicking confirm will add the hold to the onboarding page. If needed, more Services and Holds can be added simply by clicking on Add Service and/or Add Hold. Clicking on continue will add the services and holds to the customers account and the Wizard will continue on to the last step...

Credit Cards

The final step in onboarding a customer is to add a credit card to the Customers Account if applicable. Clicking on the Add Card button will begin the process of adding a card and the Add Credit Card popup will appear with the following fields to be filled out

More information on Credit Cards or adding cards outside of the onboarding process can be seen on the Autopay/Adding Credit Cards guide. After all the information is filled out and the system accepts the card, it will be added to the onboarding page and ready to be added to the account. Clicking on any of the category tabs on the top of the page allows access to those steps for review if necessary. Clicking on Complete Onboarding will add the card to the customers account and the onboarding process will be complete. With that the customers account will be set up and ready for routing and for deliveries and services to be provided as well

Editing

Edits on the wizard can be done by clicking on the tab that needs to be edited. Editing is limited to the Labels and Taxes, Systems and Credit cards tabs. Customer, Location and Service cannot be edited until after the wizard is complete and the Customer is onboarded. Edits outside the wizard are possible and can be done by going into each individual category. For editing any of the information above, see the following
