# Onboarding flow **Onboarding** is how a new commercial relationship — a property, a supplier, a partner agency, or a workspace — becomes ready to sell and operate in Adrasis. The platform provides a guided flow so the work stays consistent: relationship, setup, signing, and go-live. ## Three onboarding paths The console offers three primary onboarding flows; each starts from a different commercial situation but ends in the same place — operational data live in your organization. | Path | Starting point | What you end with | | --------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | **Property onboarding** | A new property you operate or contract directly | A canonical property in your catalog, channels bound, mappings curated, ready to publish. | | **Supplier onboarding** | A new source of inventory you will resell | An ingestion pipeline from the source, mapping curated, contract terms recorded, ready to expose to your distribution. | | **Organization onboarding** | A new organization in your group (subsidiary, white-label, partner agency) | A organization configured with branding, locale, currency, default policies, ready for users. | Most operators run all three at different times. The flows share their underlying steps — set up the relationship, configure the data, sign what needs signing, go live. ## Property onboarding
Property onboarding — relationship → setup → signing → live

The steps a single property goes through to become a live, sellable record.

Each step has a console surface; Adragent can drive most of them on confirmation. A 30-room boutique with a single rate plan and one channel is a focused 1–2 hours of operator time; a 400-room resort with 6 room types, multiple meal plans, child-age tiers, and 8 channel bindings can run half a day to a full day, mostly waiting on partner-side certification — but the steps stay the same. The full property surface is in [Property](/console/catalog/property.md). ## Supplier onboarding
Supplier onboarding — connector → contract → mapping → live

Bringing a supplier into your catalog. Mapping curation is where most operator time goes.

Supplier onboarding is heavier on mapping than property onboarding because every supplier has its own vocabulary. In a typical bedbank ingest of 5,000 properties, many matches can be reviewed in batches while unfamiliar amenity codes, ambiguous room types and fuzzy property names need a human decision. Adragent fills in the obvious matches; you decide the rest. The supply ingestion details are in [Inbound overview](/console/distribution/inbound.md) and [Mapping & curation](/console/mapping-and-curation/canonical-mapping.md). ## Organization onboarding
Organization onboarding — application → activation → defaults → live

Bringing a new organization onto the platform. Defaults inherit; every step can be overridden.

A new organization typically inherits configuration defaults from the platform but can override every step. White-label brands often deviate on branding and currency; partner agencies often deviate on policies and signature counterparties. Each organization is its own workspace with its own users, catalog, contracts, distribution and payment configuration. ## What stays the same across paths Three properties hold across every onboarding path: * **Step-by-step with previews.** Nothing commits without explicit confirmation; you can pause and resume. * **Adragent assists.** Bulk content, bulk mapping, bulk channel binding — all addressable in natural language. * **Clear status.** Each flow shows what is complete, what is blocked, and what needs the next action. You do not need a different muscle memory per path; the flow shape is consistent. ## What slows onboarding down A few things commonly extend the work: * **Mapping the unfamiliar.** A new supplier with an unusual amenity vocabulary or category set requires more curation. Adragent reduces but does not eliminate this. * **Content gaps.** A new property without good photos or multilingual descriptions blocks publishing — you fill the gap before going live. * **Contract complexity.** A heavily-customized contract with many overrides per property takes longer to capture cleanly. * **Partner certification.** Some channels require certification rounds before traffic flows; that timeline is the partner's, not yours. Each of these has a clear surface in the console; you see what is blocking and what to do next. ## Adragent and onboarding Common phrases that map to Adragent onboarding operations: * *"Onboard the property described in this forwarded email — extract name, address, room count, and start the flow."* * *"For the new supplier, find every room in their catalog and propose mappings to our canonical room types."* * *"Run a checklist on the new white-label organization — branding, locale, currency, default policies — and tell me what's missing."* * *"Activate every property bound to the new bedbank supplier once their first ingest succeeds cleanly."* Read operations return immediately; writes preview before applying. ## Where to next * **The contract layer that backs every onboarding** → [Contracts](/console/contracts-and-onboarding/contracts.md) * **The e-signature flow** → [E-signature](/console/contracts-and-onboarding/e-signature.md) * **The catalog the property landing-pad sits in** → [Catalog](/console/catalog/catalog.md) --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
