# Add a Carrier or Broker

> Add a carrier or broker to Owlery for quoting, tendering, and Carrier Portal access.

**Where to find it:** `Dashboard → Integrations`

You can add as many carriers and brokers as you need. The same flow covers both a full data integration and simple Carrier Portal access.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Click Add Integration">
    The green **Add Integration** button is in the top right.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Find your carrier or broker in the list">
    Many carriers and brokers have a predefined integration — choose it if yours is listed, since it enables real-time data exchange. If it isn't listed, choose **Carrier Portal**, which works for anyone.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Enter your account manager's email">
    Confirm the account manager's name, and leave **Also add this broker to quoting integrations when Owlery can match their brokerage** ticked. This makes them available to quote without any extra setup — see [Preferred Brokers](/shippers/quoting#preferred-brokers).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Submit" />
</Steps>

## What Happens Next

* **Owlery already knows this carrier or broker**: they're available for quoting and tendering straight away.
* **Owlery doesn't know them yet**: they get an email invite to join your network. They confirm their MC/DOT number during onboarding, and then they're available to quote and tender.
