General

What is the self-serve customer portal?
We have listened to our customers and understand some of the challenges that our current vLink system presents. With vLink Hub, initially you can monitor, track and overview orders for your customer account. Future modules and releases will be communicated in advance.

What are the benefits of using the self-serve customer portal?
With vLink Hub, initially you are able to monitor, track and overview orders for your customer account.  The platform can be accessed 24/7 so you are not restricted to our Customer Service operating hours.

I cannot access the website due to our internal IT firewall and security settings – how do I gain access?

Please contact your IT Department and request whitelisting the following URL to prevent any issues:
vlinkhub.vgroupinternational.com
 
The navigational bar and the information on the screen looks unorganised and disoriented. What can I do?

On certain, smaller screen sizes, vLink Hub might appear differently than we originally intended. The platform has a minimum screen width to ensure a great user experience on desktop and potentially tablets. Using your browser settings, try to zoom out slightly to reduce the size of the elements on vLink Hub to ensure they all appear in place and you have a clear view of the site.

How to zoom out on certain browsers:
Chrome: Click on View, and then Zoom Out. Repeat the steps until satisfied.
Edge: Select Settings and more and then choose Zoom in , Zoom out
Firefox: Click the menu button Fx89menuButton on the right. The Firefox menu will open, and you will see the zoom controls at the bottom.
Safari: Click on View, and then Zoom Out. Repeat the steps until satisfied.


Are there any upcoming features or enhancements planned for the portal?

Currently we have launched Module 1, there will be further Modules released and we will communicate the content of these prior to release.

What security measures are in place to protect my information on the portal?
No passwords are stored and the account is self-administered by someone internally within your organisation/Account. The platform is also SSL certified.

How do I update my communication preferences (e.g., email notifications)?
The emails being sent from the platform are critical for the secure management of both you as a user and the Account code. The email preference cannot be changed.

How do I report a technical issue or provide feedback to the portal?
Contact our Customer Services Team on 0870 607 0198 or email support@vgroupinternational.com who will address your query.
