Registration / Activation Process

The security of your data is our top priority!

When you register your customer number for the first time, we will personally verify your registration. Therefore, the registration process may take a few hours. If there is already an administrator for your customer number, they will be automatically notified of your registration under that customer number. They are responsible for activating your account and assigning user rights.

Initial registration of a customer number

The initial registration of a customer number requires the user to be activated for this customer number by Wildeboer.

If you are the first person from your company to register using your customer number, you will automatically be assigned the “Admin” role for the company following verification and activation (further information on user roles and rights).

Is there already an admin for your customer number?

As an Admin, you are responsible within the Wildeboer Connect web application for the company’s user and rights management and for activating additional users under the same customer number.

The admin of a customer number receives an automatically generated email notification as soon as further employees of the company register with Wildeboer Connect using the same customer number. These users are assigned the “Basic” role by default upon registration.

Linking your user account to your customer number

Enjoy the benefits of linking your user account to your customer number (depending on your user role).

Linking customer numbers

You can enter your customer numbers during the registration process.

Do you already have a user account?

In this case, you can simply add your customer numbers to your user profile at a later date. The administrator for your customer number can then approve you for these and assign you permissions.

3. Creating and managing projects

The “Projects” add-on module brings all information together in one central location. Whether it’s components, people involved or documents: you retain full control at every stage. The platform supports you seamlessly from the initial design phase through to tendering and procurement, right through to final installation on site.

Centralised project management for maximum clarity

With Wildeboer Connect, projects can be created, managed and structured centrally. All relevant information is available in one place and can be accessed, filtered and edited at any time. You have complete control over all projects and quick access to all project-related data.

Centralised organisation reduces coordination effort and improves transparency throughout the entire project lifecycle.

Intelligent product collection and product management

Within a project, products can be flexibly added, edited, duplicated or replaced. In addition, quantities and project-specific information such as installation location or system identification codes can be stored.

The Wildeboer Configurator is directly integrated into the project structure and enables efficient CAD data exchange.

This allows you to maintain an overview of all products used and their application within the project at all times.

Flexible project structures and intuitive operation

Wildeboer Connect enables the creation of custom project structures that can be tailored precisely to your requirements. Different levels of hierarchy – for example, for construction phases or product groups – can be defined flexibly.

Thanks to the drag-and-drop function, items can be easily moved and restructured.

This flexibility simplifies the management of large projects and ensures a clear structure.

Collaboration and project access rights for internal and external users

Project management in Wildeboer Connect is designed for collaborative work. Projects can be shared with internal and external stakeholders – including differentiated read and write permissions.

Multiple users can work on projects simultaneously without losing track of the big picture.

  • Real-time collaborative project editing
  • Differentiated rights management for maximum security
  • Efficient cross-departmental collaboration

In this way, Wildeboer Connect supports seamless collaboration throughout the entire value chain.

Data exports and end-to-end digital workflows

The Projects module offers extensive export and integration options that ensure an end-to-end digital workflow.

Supported features include:

  • Import of existing WiDim projects
  • Export of CSV files, tender documents and CAD data
  • Provision of revision documents and price overviews

In this way, Wildeboer Connect supports the entire process – from design through to tendering, ordering and installation.

4. Order information in real time

Wildeboer Connect offers you transparency throughout the entire order process. All information, from order entry to production, dispatch and delivery, is available transparently and at a glance.

Tracking made easy

The integrated tracking feature makes it particularly easy to track your deliveries. Wildeboer Connect provides you with the carrier’s tracking link directly.

This allows you to view the current location and delivery status of your shipment at any time. This feature is a decisive advantage, particularly for coordination on the construction site or for time-critical projects.

Access to order documents

With Wildeboer Connect, you have access to all important order documents at any time. These include, amongst others, order confirmations and delivery notes, which you can download directly.

Location-independent access allows you to retrieve the documents you need quickly and flexibly – whether in the office, on the construction site or on the move.

Detailed order information

In addition to the status of your orders, detailed information is also available to you. This includes, for example, the order receipt date, the current order status, the estimated delivery week and the dispatch date.

This information helps you to plan your projects precisely and make informed decisions at all times. Wildeboer Connect thus enables transparent and efficient order management throughout the entire project lifecycle.

Straightforward order search

Conveniently find a specific order in Wildeboer Connect using the following search parameters:

  • Order number: Wildeboer order number, e.g. for the order confirmation.
  • Shipping address: Details of the street, house number, post code and town or city.
  • Order details: Your individual details when ordering, e.g. indication of your project or order number or a construction project.
  • Company: Name of the company to which the order is sent.
  • Contact: Notification details, e.g. the contact at the construction site for the delivery, general comprises a name and telephone number.

5. User and authorisation management

User and Permissions Management allows you to customise user permissions for users associated with a customer number via the Basic, Advanced and Admin user roles.

 

User roles and authorisations

User permissions are linked to the user roles associated with a customer number. In order for a role to be assigned to you, your user account must be linked to a Wildeboer customer number. Under the customer number, your permissions are controlled via the user roles assigned to you (further information on linking your user account to a customer number).

 

There are three different user roles:

  • Admin: As an activated Admin User for your Wildeboer customer number, you have full rights in Wildeboer Connect. As an Admin, you are responsible for managing your colleagues’ user accounts. You can link additional users to your customer number and control their rights individually via user roles.
  • Advanced: As an Advanced User, your rights may vary. The rights associated with the Advanced role can be customised by the Admin User. The Admin for your customer number can assign rights to your role so that you can, for example, view your orders with Wildeboer or your customer-specific net prices.
  • Basic: Basic Users have standard rights that apply across the board to all registered users of Wildeboer Connect.

User management

User management can be used by an Admin to manage the users of his/her customer number and activate new users for his/her customer number.

Authorisation management

Using authorisation management, you can assign roles to the users of your active customer number and adjust their authorisations. That way, you can make sure that only authorised persons have access to sensitive data, such as orders or customer-specific net prices.

You can control access to certain functions and information individually using predefined and adjustable roles. Adjustments to the authorisations of a role are applied for all users of the active customer number with this role.

Your user roles and permissions

Depending on the customer number that is currently set as active, different permissions may apply to your user account. You can see the set or active customer number at the top of the page, below your username.

Your permissions are linked to the user role associated with your customer number. You can view your user roles and the associated permissions for the active customer number via your user profile.

A user account can be linked to multiple customer numbers. If your user account has been activated for more than one customer number, you have the option to change your active customer number.

Example: A purchasing manager’s user account has been activated for the customer number of the head office and another branch of the company. With the appropriate authorisation, they can view the orders placed with Wildeboer for the respective branch.
