# Get Started with Fit4Life OS

> Log in to Fit4Life OS, add your first customer, place an order, and watch it flow through to the SMS bot and inbox.

Fit4Life OS puts patient triage, order management, revenue tracking, and the SMS bot in one browser-based dashboard. This guide walks you through your first login and the core loop: add a customer, place an order, and see how the bot recognizes that customer over text.

<Tip>
  Press **⌘K** (Mac) or **Ctrl K** (Windows) anywhere in the OS to open the command palette and jump to any page, customer, or order.
</Tip>

<Steps>
  <Step title="Log in to the OS">
    Go to `/live` and enter your practice password (`OS_PASSWORD`). This sets a session that lasts 24 hours; after that you'll log in again. The pitch site and the mock demo stay public, only `/live` and the inbox are gated.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Scan the dashboard">
    You land on the dashboard. Check the **Needs You** triage strip (overdue reorders, awaiting fulfillment, due soon), the KPI tiles, and the revenue trend for the selected date range.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add a customer">
    Open **Customers → Add Customer**. Enter a **name** and **phone number** (and optionally location/state, tags, notes, and who referred them). A phone number is what lets the SMS bot recognize this person.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Place an order">
    Open **Orders → New Order**, pick the customer, and use the searchable product picker (it auto-fills the catalog price). Save, the order is written atomically and appears on the board as `requested`.
  </Step>

  <Step title="See it end-to-end">
    Because the bot reads identity from the same database, that customer can now text the clinic number and be greeted by name. Watch live threads in **Inbox** (`/live/inbox`) and take over any conversation with one click.
  </Step>
</Steps>

That's the core loop. From here, dig into the [SMS bot](/docs/sms-bot/overview), the [Finances](/docs/features/finances) layer, or the [Architecture & Internals](/docs/architecture/overview) section if you maintain the system.
