Store Front – Buyer

About DTN Storefront – Buyers

DTN’s Storefront allows buyers to access a single site to obtain a cohesive view of alerts, allocations, contracts, forecasts, loading data, pre-orders and terminals with a supplier.  When access is granted, users can make informed and strategic decisions regarding their day-to-day and long-term activity.

Accessing DTN Storefront

Upon setup by your supplier, you will receive a welcome email to your supplier’s Sales & Marketing Solution site.  Once logged in, you will be presented with your dashboard.

Your dashboard provides a condensed view of information from your supplier.  Selecting terminals and/or products will filter the data to a narrower view.

The dashboard can be used to view:

• Exhausted Allocations
• GPOs Requested
• Terminal Disruptions
• Credit Status
• Allocations Remaining
• Supply Event Alerts
• Allocation Alert History

These options are also available using the menu on the left panel.
