SECTION 1: PALLAS FOODS SUPPLIER PORTAL FOR ADMINISTRATORS
1. Accessing the Pallas Foods Supplier Portal
It is very easy to begin paperless trading with Pallas Foods. You only need to access the Internet using a
web browser (e.g. Internet Explorer).
You will not normally need to download any software.
Internet Browser address:
pallas.platform.celtrino.com or http://pallas.platform.celtrino.com (see below, highlighted in red)
Don’t include “www.” as part of the internet address
It’s a good idea to add this address to your favourites
Pallas Foods Supplier Portal User Guide Page 4
2. Registration (once-off)
Registration is a once off process. It involves a number of steps.
The first time someone in your company is invited to register, there is a 4 step process. These steps are
1. Receipt of Email invitation
2. Linking to Registration screen
3. Completing your registration
4. Completing your company profile
If a colleague sends you an email invitation, there is a 3 step process. These steps are
1. Receipt of Email invitation
2. Linking to Registration screen
3. Completing your registration
2.1 Email invitation
For current trading partners of Pallas Foods
If you are a current trading partner of Pallas Foods you will receive a single email invitation asking you to
register as a user of Celtrino Express. This will arrive in your email inbox.
Open this email and click on the link provided (see note 4 in screenshot below).
The invitation email identifies the following:
1. You as the invited person
2. Your colleague that sent the invitation
3. Your company
4. The web link you click for registration on Celtrino Express
If you do not receive an email alert, your email spam detector may have intercepted
the email alert and classified it as spam. If this happens, you will find the email alert in
your spam folder. For correct future operation, you need to “tell” your email spam
detector to treat these email alerts as non-spam.
Pallas Foods Supplier Portal User Guide Page 5

2.4 Grouping multiple company profiles
If you own or manage a number of companies that sell to Pallas Foods, you have 2 main configuration
options available to you:
1. Maintain different log-ins for each company. This is the default set-up.
2. Group all your companies together within a single log-in.
This section demonstrates the second option, grouping multiple company profiles with a single log-in.
Let’s assume that you own the following three companies:
1. Food Supplies Galway
2. Food Supplies Dublin
3. Food Supplies Limerick
When you are logged-in, you will be reminded of the company profile you are associated with by the
information on the top right hand side of the Celtrino Express screen (see “Food Supplies Galway” in the
red box of the screenshot below).
By clicking on the “Food Supplies Galway” link you will be brought to the “Manage User Companies”
screen where you can choose a different associated company profile (see below).
Select a company from the “My Companies” drop down list as shown below. Let’s assume you want to
switch to Food Supplies Dublin (see highlighted below).
The following section applies to users who own or manage two or more companies
that sell to Pallas Foods. If this does not apply to you, please continue to section 3,
“Alert Management”.
Pallas Foods Supplier Portal User Guide Page 9
You then click on “Switch Company” button.
This will change your company profile to Food Supplies Dublin. From this point on, all the screens that
you click on will display information specific to Food Supplies Dublin.
Note that the company name that you are associated with has now changed to Food Supplies Dublin
(highlighted in red).
Note you can change the default company associated with your log-in account by clicking the “Make
Default” button (highlighted below). This will then be the first company you see the next time you log in
to Celtrino Express.
You can decide who within your organisation will have separate log-ins and who will
have single log-ins.
Pallas Foods Supplier Portal User Guide Page 10
3. Alert Management

o When a document is received (e.g. an order)
o When a query response is received (e.g. a response from Pallas Foods to your earlier query)
o When an exception occurs

Click on the “Alert Management” link to configure when alerts should be sent (see screenshot below).

Response, or Remittance etc.
Associated with each event are actions and attributes that you can control. These are listed below (see
also screenshot below):
Action
o No action
o Send Alert

who are either “Document Recipients” or “Document Originators”. Relationships can be filtered
according to six different statuses:
