Email and Password: Enter your preferred email address and create a secure password.
Use Separate Emails for Demo and Production Accounts To avoid confusion and potential conflicts during integration, we recommend using different email addresses for demo and production accounts. This will ensure a clear separation between testing and live environments.

Completing the Onboarding Process After registration, you’ll be guided through onboarding steps, including email verification and profile setup. Follow these steps until you reach the main dashboard (the World Map screen), confirming that your account is fully set up.
Request Permissions Once the onboarding process is complete, please contact our Customer Success Manager (CS) to inform them of your account set up and to request permissions.
