## What Is The Brand Portal

Brand Portal is an online B2B store that supports self-service and remote sales that can be accessed anywhere, any time. It is mainly used by retailers for self-serviced pre- and reordering but can also be used by sales reps for pre- and reordering together with the retailer.

### Login

The main login pages lets you enter the Brand Portal using your **Username** and **Password**. Your email serves as **Username**.
