Quick Start

This guide covers account creation, initial workspace configuration, and basic navigation of the Kontratar dashboard. After completing these steps, you will be able to view and track government contract opportunities.

Before you begin

You need the following to create an account:

• A work email address. Personal email addresses (Gmail, Yahoo, Outlook.com) are not accepted.
• Your company’s legal name, domain, and mailing address.

Only one person per company can register through the signup page. That person becomes the primary admin. All other users must be invited by the primary admin.

Creating an account

To create a new Kontratar account:

1. Go to app.kontratar.com.
2. Click Log In, then select Sign Up.

3. Enter your company details.

The registration form requires the following company information:

Field	Description
Company name	Your organization’s legal or operating name.
Company domain	Your company’s website domain (for example, skyrimtech.com). This domain must not already be registered in Kontratar.
Address	Your company’s street address.
Country	Country of registration.
State	State or province.
City	City.
ZIP code	Postal or ZIP code.

4. Enter your personal details.

Field	Description
First name	Your given name.
Last name	Your surname.
Email address	A work email that matches your company domain.
Password	A password for your Kontratar account.

5. Click Submit.

If the registration is successful, your account is created and you are logged in. You become the primary admin for your organization.

Registration will fail if:

• The email address is not a work email.
• The company domain has already been registered by another user.
• A personal email provider is used (Gmail, Yahoo, etc.).

If your company domain is already registered, contact your organization’s primary admin to request an invitation. See Administrator Workspace for instructions on inviting users.

Navigating the dashboard

After logging in, the Home Dashboard is displayed. The dashboard shows:

• Charts and visualizations — A summary of government contract activity filtered by your selected NAICS codes.
• Opportunity count — The number of active opportunities matching your filters, organized by agency.
• Awards and forecasts — Data on recent contract awards and forecasted procurement activity.

The left sidebar provides access to all platform features:

Sidebar item	Function
Home	Displays the main dashboard with summary charts and metrics.
Opportunities	Lists government contract opportunities from SAM.gov and custom sources. Contains two tabs: SAM and Custom.
My Desk	Shows opportunities you have tracked, with options to generate proposals or discard items. Contains three tabs: Available Opportunities, Tracked Opportunities, and Discarded Opportunities.
Team Simulation	Tests how well your organization or a teaming partner aligns with a specific opportunity’s requirements.
Documents	Stores company files used during proposal generation (past performance narratives, capability statements, resumes).
Categories	Manages classification tags applied to documents and partner profiles.
Administrator	Organizational management panel for users, partners, teams, agencies, and settings. Visible only to Super Admins and Tenant Admins.
Settings	Configures NAICS codes, notification preferences, and display options.
Proposal Generation	Creates AI-generated proposals from tracked opportunities.

What to do next

After your account is set up:

• Configure your NAICS codes — Go to Settings or the Administrator > NAICS Code section to add the NAICS codes that match your business. These codes control which opportunities appear in your dashboard and Opportunities tab.
• Upload company documents — Go to Documents and upload files that describe your organization’s capabilities. These files are used by the AI during proposal generation. Recommended document types include past performance narratives, capability statements, and key personnel resumes.
• Track an opportunity — Go to Opportunities, browse or filter the listings, and click Track on any opportunity you want to pursue. Tracked opportunities appear in My Desk.
• Invite your team — If you are the primary admin, go to Administrator > Users to invite other members of your organization.
