# Quickstart

> Get started with Beach Depositories in minutes

This guide walks you through the key steps to start using Beach Depositories for your organization.

## 1. Organization setup

Your Beach Depositories account starts with an organization. This is created during onboarding by Beach Depositories staff and represents your business entity.

Each organization has:

* A **name** identifying your business
* A **max insured value** — the upper limit of total insured inventory value
* A **risk score** — used for internal risk assessment

<Note>
  Organization creation is handled by Beach Depositories staff during onboarding. Contact your account representative to get started.

## 2. Invite members

Organization admins can invite team members who need access to manage FBO accounts and inventory.

Members are assigned one of two roles:

| Role       | Permissions                                                                           |
| ---------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Admin**  | Full access — manage FBO accounts, view inventory, initiate transfers, invite members |
| **Member** | Read access to organization inventory and shipments                                   |

## 3. Create FBO accounts

FBO (For Benefit Of) accounts represent the individuals or entities whose assets are stored in the vault.

Each FBO account includes:

* Contact information (name, email, phone)
* Optional business name
* Configurable max insured value and risk score
* One or more addresses (return, billing, alternate)

```
Organization (Your Business)
├── FBO Account: John Smith
│   ├── Inventory Item A
│   └── Inventory Item B
├── FBO Account: Jane Doe
│   └── Inventory Item C
└── FBO Account: Acme Corp
    ├── Inventory Item D
    └── Inventory Item E
```

## 4. Receive inventory

Once FBO accounts are set up, inventory can be received into the vault:

1. Create an **inbound shipment** with tracking information
2. Vault staff receives and inspects the items
3. Items are cataloged and assigned to the appropriate FBO account
4. The FBO account holder is notified

## 5. Invite organization members

Invite clients as Clerk organization members so they can sign in to the vault app and:

* View their stored inventory
* Request outbound shipments
* Track shipment status
* Manage their addresses
