This guide will help you get started with the MyTranssmart Portal for Booking Shipments.
First, please log in with your credentials at https://my.transsmart.com.
Once you're logged in, there are 2 steps to follow:
STEP 1: Configure the global settings
To start setting up your account, click on the Manage account section in the top bar and follow the next steps:
Add your packages
To get started, add all the packages you'd like to use. Just click on “packages,” then select “Add Package” and begin adding your packages.
Explanation of the fields:
| Code | The code that refers to your package |
| Type | The transsmart Type of Package. Select the correct one in the drop down list. This code will be sent to the carrier. |
| Description | Your description of the package |
| Dimensions | Fill the correct dimensions and (default)weight of the package. You can always change the weight when booking a shipment. |
Dispatch Locations
You can set your Dispatch location to have it prefilled or easy to choose as the sender address on the create shipment page. This can be set for each user, but you'll need to create the location first.
Just click on Locations & Cost Centers, then select Add Location. Fill in the details and add the location.
My Pickup Points
If you have your own Pickup Points or Retail Stores where customers can collect their orders, you can add them under My Pickup Points. Just click Add Pickup Point and enter the address so they’ll be available in the pickup locator when booking shipments. This feature is available upon request at Transsmart. If you're interested, please reach out to our support team.
Booking Profiles
Booking profiles help you create shipments more quickly. You can save default values to select them with just one click, and set your most frequently used profile as the default so it’s automatically filled in when you create a shipment.
Users
We recommend creating separate user accounts for your co-workers. You can do this in the “User Management” section. Besides the basics like email address and name, your user role decides what you can configure.
User roles:
| Role | Rights |
| Admin | Can do everything |
| Standard | Limited access to the account section (this user can’t change global settings) |
| View | Only insight in shipments |
Show on shipment page
Having a clean interface without unnecessary options helps you work more effectively. This setting lets you hide certain features on the shipment page, so you can keep only the ones you need active.
Setting your defaults
Click within Manage account on “Details” and fill in your preferred defaults. These defaults will be prefilled when creating a new shipment.
STEP 2: Install and configure the Print software
Install the printer software
To get started with your printer, you'll first need to install some software. The manual Installing the SmartPrint Client provides detailed instructions on how to set it up. Here are the basic steps:
- Download the software for your operating system
- Install the software
- Open the software and log in using your (personal) Transsmart account
Select your printer
Once you’ve logged in, you can go back to the My Printer page in My Transsmart under Manage account. There, you can choose your PC under My Connection and select your printers in the My Printer section. After that, you are ready to start shipping with Transsmart!
