Carriers New to PropDispatch (water orders)


Carrier – Startup

Welcome to PropDispatch – This solution page will help carriers to get started with the PropDispatch water feature.

The new carrier will reach out to the lead (the customer) to request an account with PropDispatch; then, the customer can create the carrier profile. When the customer sets up the carrier's account, they will need the following Business entity, owner's first and last name, and email address; mailing address. The customer will need to email support@propdispatch.com to request specific features to be turned on and set to a premium account.
