1. Sign in

  • Go to api.lickety.io/portal and enter your email and password.
  • Use Forgot your password? if you need to reset.
  • Sessions expire after 8 hours of inactivity.

2. Dashboard

Your landing page after login. Shows your company name, location, and four KPI cards:

CardWhat it shows
Pending pickupAppointments at your facility waiting for a driver
In transitDriver has picked up and is en route
Delivered todayCompleted deliveries today
At riskPickup or delivery timing may be tight

Below the cards: Recent Appointments panel with a View all link.

3. Appointments

Click Appointments in the nav (or View all from the dashboard). Full table of outbound shipments from your company: ID, Destination, Driver, Pickup Window, Delivery Window, Status.

Click View → on any row for details.

4. Appointment detail

Details section:

  • Details card — status, origin (your company), destination, driver, pickup/delivery windows, rate.
  • Tracking Link — shareable public URL; click Copy to share, or Open link to preview.

Map section:

  • Current Progress — visual origin-to-destination line with in-transit indicator, status text, actual pickup/delivery timestamps.

Action buttons in the top-right of the detail page:

  • Edit — change pickup/delivery windows, destination, rate, or freight details. See section 6.
  • Cancel — remove the appointment. Only available before pickup is confirmed.

5. Create an outbound load

Click + New Outbound Load from the dashboard or appointments list. Fill in:

  • Destination — choose from your company's known receivers.
  • Pickup Window — open and close timestamps when the driver should arrive at your facility.
  • Delivery Window — open and close timestamps when the driver should arrive at the destination.
  • Rate — dollar amount paid to the driver. Drives the Relay payment hold flow.
  • Freight details — commodity, weight, pallet count, special instructions.

Click Create. The load appears in your appointments list and becomes claimable by drivers immediately. You can also create loads from the Outbound tab in the mobile app.

6. Edit or cancel an outbound load

From the appointment detail page:

  • Edit — opens the form pre-populated with current values. Saved changes propagate to any driver who has claimed the load.
  • Cancel — confirms and removes the appointment. Only available before pickup is confirmed.

After delivery is confirmed, edits and cancellations are no longer permitted (audit trail is preserved). Contact a super admin if you need to amend a delivered load.

7. Tracking links

Each appointment has a public tracking URL. Find it on the appointment detail under Shareable Tracking Link. Click Copy to share with your customers or the receiver — no login required for the recipient.

8. Mobile app

The shipper mobile experience mirrors the receiver shell with origin-scoped data:

  • Outbound — browse, create, edit, and cancel your outbound loads on the go.
  • Dashboard — the same four KPI cards from the web portal.
  • Messages — chat with drivers assigned to your loads.
  • Profile — account info, company info, settings, logout.

The web portal remains the most efficient surface for bulk actions and detailed reporting, but the mobile app covers full outbound CRUD for shippers on the move. Sign in with the same email and password you use for the portal.

9. Status colors

Driver status updates every ~30 seconds while a load is active.

  • Green — on track

    On pace for the delivery window.

  • Yellow — at risk

    Timing may be tight.

  • Red — endangered

    Driver may miss the window.

  • Grey — idle

    No active appointment.

10. Troubleshooting

Can't see appointments

You only see loads where your company is the origin. Ask your Lickety account administrator to verify your company assignment if the list is empty.

No driver on an appointment

The load is open and unassigned. A driver will claim it when they're available.

Session expired

Portal sessions expire after 8 hours of inactivity. Sign in again.

Can't edit a delivered load

Edits lock once delivery is confirmed. Contact a super admin to amend a delivered record.

Created a duplicate by mistake

Use Cancel on the appointment detail before pickup is confirmed.
