The Launchpad serves as the central hub for all HotWax Commerce apps, providing easy access to development, user acceptance testing (UAT), and production versions of the applications all in one place.
The Launchpad is the central hub for accessing all HotWax Commerce applications. It provides Single Sign-On (SSO), so users only need to log in once to access all associated apps without re-entering credentials.
When you open the Launchpad without an active session, a Login button appears in the top-right corner of the home page. Select this button to begin the sign-in process.
Enter your Order Management System (OMS) instance URL and select Next.
Enter your Username and Password, then select Login.
Once signed in, selecting any app card on the home page automatically authenticates you into that application through Single Sign-On (SSO).
In the OMS instance URL field, enter just the part before .hotwax.io. For example, if your instance is company-name.hotwax.io, enter company-name. The system automatically constructs the full instance URL. If you don't know your instance name, contact your system administrator.
If you select an app card without signing in first, the app redirects you back to the Launchpad login page to complete authentication before you can access it.
Applications on the Launchpad are organized into the following categories:
Each app on the Launchpad can be launched in three different environments:
Some apps, such as Available to Promise, Order Routing, and Company, require a Maarg instance to be configured. Maarg is HotWax Commerce's API and routing management platform. If Maarg is not configured, these apps will display a Not configured badge and will be inaccessible.
Select your user profile at the top of the home page.
Select Logout from the menu.
