## What's Backoffice?

Backoffice is our web-based application, where customers manage their fulfillment network and operations via a UI. It's recommended to use Google Chrome to access Backoffice.

## Why does it matter for my free trial?

Seeing how Backoffice works will give you an idea of how your team can work together with our solution. Some changes can only be made with our APIs, but others can be made within Backoffice, giving your team the freedom to choose and not be restricted to relying on developers for certain changes.

## Accessing Backoffice

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
**Open Backoffice**

Click the link to Backoffice you were provided in your free trial email. It will follow the `https://ocff-{tenant-name}-dmo.web.app` structure.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Log in**

Input the credentials from your free trial email and click **LOG IN**.

You'll see a screen to select the facility or network view.

If you haven't followed our [facilities-in-your-free-trial](https://docs.fulfillmenttools.com/documentation/using-our-free-trial/free-trial-information/facilities-in-your-free-trial "mention") article, you'll need to create a facility in Backoffice before you can continue.
{% endhint %}
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

## Facility view

When you click **SELECT FACILITY**, you'll be shown a modal with the available facilities that you can select to see the relevant information for that facility. As we only created one facility, you'll only see this option in your list.

Once the facility view is open, you'll see a summary and can navigate to see orders, inventory, facility information, and users.

In the orders section, you'll see the order we created in [orders-in-your-free-trial](https://docs.fulfillmenttools.com/documentation/using-our-free-trial/free-trial-information/orders-in-your-free-trial "mention").

In the inventory section, you'll see the listings we created in [listings-in-your-free-trial](https://docs.fulfillmenttools.com/documentation/using-our-free-trial/free-trial-information/listings-in-your-free-trial "mention"), along with the stock we added in [configuring-stock-in-your-free-trial](https://docs.fulfillmenttools.com/documentation/using-our-free-trial/free-trial-information/configuring-stock-in-your-free-trial "mention").

In the facility section, you'll see all the details we included about this facility in [facilities-in-your-free-trial](https://docs.fulfillmenttools.com/documentation/using-our-free-trial/free-trial-information/facilities-in-your-free-trial "mention").

In the users section, you'll see your user information, and can invite other team members to the trial.

## Network view

When you click **NETWORK VIEW**, you'll be taken to the overview page where you'll see an operational overview and a facility map.

When you go through the navigation, you'll also see all the same information as in the facility view.

For more information on how to use Backoffice, see the [Backoffice section of the documentation](https://docs.fulfillmenttools.com/documentation/backoffice).
