Welcome to EdgeLink Core!

Edgelink Core is a back office tool designed to streamline administration. It will allow you to manage all your transactional data in one place, track unit availability and generate robust reports that meet regulatory requirements. You will also be able to connect with EMDs currently using our platform, enabling you to ensure investor and transactional data is consistent in both systems.

The following guide will assist you in navigating your new system. To begin, we'll provide a general overview of the system and guide you through the organization of your data, as well as how to add it to the system. We'll then provide you with an overview of the EdgeLink ecosystem, allowing you to 'plug in' and get started right away!
