What do I need to do with companies I book for or which book for me?

Please send booking authorisations to the relevant product manager in the Sales department at Kombiverkehr. You will find the right contact person here.

Supervisors and users
What is a supervisor and what is his/her role?
The role of the supervisor is to designate employees for online booking at the respective business location, set them up in the system and assign rights of use. At no time during the process of assigning authorisations and rights of use will Kombiverkehr intervene: full responsibility for this process thus lies with the company alone. A user management facility has been added to myKOMBIVERKEHR so that individual users can be set up for online booking and assigned rights of use. Only the supervisor has access to this after successfully logging in.
Within the application, new users can be applied for and existing ones assigned a right to use the online booking system. To authorise one or several supervisors please use the Supervisor form. The registered supervisor is cleared by Kombiverkehr, and is then able to access the user management and online booking facilities.
Can a supervisor make bookings him-/herself?
Yes. A supervisor is of course able to make bookings. To do so, all he/she has to do is to assign the right to use online booking to him-/herself in the user management.
Can I designate several supervisors?
You actually need to designate several supervisors if your company has several sites. If not, it still makes sense to designate at least two supervisors to cover holidays and sick leave.
What do I do if a user leaves my company?
If an online booking user leaves your company, the supervisor can simply delete him/her in the user management function. Please send an additional notification to Kombiverkehr (Team Adressen), so we can delete him/her from our system.
What do I do if a supervisor leaves my company?
Please use the Supervisor form to notify Kombiverkehr if a supervisor leaves your company, so that he/she can be removed from the system. A supervisor cannot be deleted without a signature from the management. It is advisable to send a new form to register a new supervisor at the same time.
As a supervisor, how do I assign the right to online booking?
There is a list of all added users in the user management function in the myKOMBIVERKEHR section. The respective user profile can be opened via "Edit" and a tick must then be placed alongside "online booking". The supervisor also needs to follow this procedure if he/she would like to make online bookings him/herself. The user to whom a right has now been assigned is automatically informed by email and can use the online booking facility from this point in time. To do so, it is necessary to register the user for myKOMBIVERKEHR with the same email address as the one saved in user management.
How do I add new users to the online booking system?
New users of online booking can be added by a supervisor. A supervisor can access the user management function in the myKOMBIVERKEHR section to designate new users, set them up in the system and assign rights of use.
The "Add user" function allows more users to be set up for online booking. An application form will open here and must be completed in full. After sending the form, Kombiverkehr will add the people specified as future users in user management and duly notify the supervisor and the user by email. All the supervisor then has to do is assign the right to use online booking to the newly added users.

How do I add a new supervisor to the online booking system?
The Supervisor form can be used to register new supervisors. This must be completed in full and sent to Kombiverkehr. A supervisor cannot be registered without a signature from the management. The supervisor must be allocated to the business location where he/she works, along with the relevant UIRR customer number. Another form must be used to add more supervisors.
Technical questions
Even if you log in successfully to myKOMBIVERKEHR, the online booking facility will not be displayed.
You must first register in order to use the online booking facility via myKOMBIVERKEHR. This can be done in six easy steps. You can find out more here. If your company is registered, it is likewise necessary for a supervisor to assign a right of use for online booking. This is done via the user management function, to which the supervisor has access. If this has been done and the online booking facility still fails to appear, please contact our service hotline.
Booking processes
Who is allowed to make bookings for my company?
How can I cancel or amend orders and how are they then displayed in the online booking system?
