Signing Up: You Get a Working Warehouse Brain, Not an Empty Shell
What happens in the seconds after a new tenant clicks Create account, and why the first screen is not a blank catalog waiting for you to type.
An ITAD that signs up for a trial has a truck arriving on Thursday. It does not have an afternoon to type a service catalog, a certification list and a set of market categories into a new tool before it can receive a single pallet. The platform assumes the truck and prepares for it.
Signup is open
Self-service signup has been open since 5 September 2026, the start of the free trial period. /signup shows the form, the login page shows its Sign up prompt, and the public request-collection funnel on the website hands visitors over to the same signup once they decide they want an account rather than a one-off pickup.
What gets created
Creating a tenant creates three things at once: the user account, the organization, and the membership that ties the two together, with the tenant identity stamped on the account so every later query knows which warehouse it belongs to. The confirmation link in the signup email lands on a public route on purpose — the visitor has, by definition, no session yet when they click it. Nothing personal is built for the user in that moment: the first time they open the dashboard they choose their own starting layout.
The starter kit
The organization, however, does not land empty. Every new tenant receives the same starting configuration: 44 system services across six categories — logistics, processing, destruction, remarketing, compliance and financial — from collection and secure transport through software erasure, shredding and degaussing to settlement calculation and lease-return processing; 24 real ITAD certifications, R2v3 and e-Stewards among them; 22 market categories, thirteen main ones and nine sub-categories under networking and peripherals; 16 market filters for price range, status and manufacturer; one fee setting; 21 saved views spread across the Core lists, from inventory to invoices; and seven pallet formats, Euro to Gitterbox. The seeding is idempotent: running it twice adds nothing twice.
Not placeholders
None of this is lorem ipsum with a warehouse accent. The services and certifications are the reference rows the platform’s founder curated by hand from years in the trade; the market settings are the same set that existing tenants run on. A new tenant can rename, deactivate, reorder and extend all of it, and the system rows cannot be deleted by accident. It is a starting point that already knows what degaussing is.
Real from the first minute
A self-service signup creates a real tenant, not a demo one. Demo environments exist on the platform, but they are walled off from real trading: Market and Auction, the two places where tenants see each other, keep demo stock and real stock on opposite sides of the fence. Your trial inventory is yours, your listings are real, and nobody’s sample lot will show up in your search results. It’s not a sandbox. It’s a warehouse with the lights on.
