# Welcome to the Platform

Joe Black sipped his coffee, staring at the login screen of his company’s **white-label instance of Marco OS**. As the **Vendor Admin** for his organization, **Global Workforce Solutions (GWS)**, he had full control over how the system was set up. It wasn’t just a tool; it was the backbone of how they managed global payroll, compliance, and contractor operations for their clients.

GWS specialized in helping businesses expand internationally by managing their remote workforce. By leveraging their **white-label instance of Marco OS**, they provided their clients with a seamless platform under their own branding, giving them the power of Marco OS while maintaining their unique identity.

Today was a big day—GWS had just signed a new client, **Stellar Tech Solutions**, and it was up to Joe to onboard them smoothly. He glanced at his inbox and found an email from a colleague:

{% hint style="info" %}
**Subject:** New Company Setup & Admin Manager Request

Hey Joe,

Hope you’re doing well! We’ve got a new customer coming onboard, and I need your help setting them up in the system. Can you create a new company profile on the platform and assign an internal staff member as the Admin Manager for that company?

#### **Company Details**

* **Company Name:** Stellar Tech Solutions
* **Company Code:** STS2025
* **Industry:** IT Services
* **Location:** Singapore

#### **Admin Manager Details**

* **Name:** Sarah Wong
* **Email:** <sarah.wong@stellartech.com>
* **Role:** Admin Manager
* **Profile Type:** Manager
* **Responsibilities:** Overseeing company operations on the platform, managing staff accounts, and handling compliance tasks.
* **Additional Permissions:** Access to payroll reports and contractor onboarding.

Let me know once it’s done or if you need anything else from my end. And of course, if the UI steps are a bit foggy, just say the word—I’ve got your back.

Thanks, Joe!

Best,\
M

Joe cracked his knuckles and got to work.

* For **Stellar Tech Solutions'** setup, he referred to the [**Adding a Customer**](/marco-user-guide-x4/2025/marco-platform-structure/vendor-portal/vendor-portal-features/home.md) guide.
* For **Sarah Wong’s onboarding**, he followed the [**Staff Onboarding**](/marco-user-guide-x4/2025/marco-platform-structure/customer-portal/manager-guide/people-management/employee-transition/staff-onboarding.md) guide.
* To ensure she was correctly set up as a **Manager**, he checked the [**Profile Type**](/marco-user-guide-x4/2025/introducing-marco-os/user-roles-and-profiles/profile-types.md) guide.
* To confirm she had the appropriate access, he consulted the [**Managing System Access**](/marco-user-guide-x4/2025/marco-platform-structure/customer-portal/manager-guide/people-management/employee-transition/managing-system-access.md) guide.

Following the documented steps, he:

* **Created a new company profile** – Added Stellar Tech Solutions and entered the relevant details.
* **Assigned the Admin Manager** – Navigated to the “Users” tab and selected “Add Staff.”
* **Entered Sarah Wong’s details** – Set her role as **Admin Manager** and profile type as **Manager**.
* **Configured additional permissions** – Granted access to payroll reports and contractor onboarding.
* **Sent the activation email** – Sarah received her credentials and onboarding instructions.

After double-checking his work, Joe hit **"Save."** The new company and its Admin Manager were now live on the platform.

One more successful setup in the books. He took a sip of coffee and leaned back—just another day in the life of a **Vendor Admin at GWS**.
