Account and access

Sign-in, invitations and workspaces.

How do I get access to Industric?

If your company already uses Industric, an administrator sends an invitation to your email. If your company does not use it yet, access is enabled on request: request a demo and we will activate your workspace.

Related guideGetting started
How long is an invitation valid?

The invitation is valid for 7 days. If you already have an account, the new workspace appears in your selector; if not, an account is created for your email. If the invitation has expired, ask your company's administrator to send it again.

I am not receiving the access or verification email

Check your spam folder and look for the senders [email protected] or [email protected]. If your company filters external email, ask IT to allow them. The verification link is valid for 24 hours.

Can I have two accounts with the same email?

No. Each email maps to a single account, but that account can belong to several workspaces, with a different role in each.

How do I switch workspaces?

In the selector at the top right, click the name of the active workspace and choose another one. The platform remembers the last workspace you used.

Can I sign in with my Google account?

Yes. The office team (management, engineering, planning and purchasing) can sign in with a password or with Google. Operators and customers have their own ways to sign in.
