For companies

The rest of this guide is for the people who walk. This page is for the person running the challenge inside a company: the one who sets the goal, gives colleagues the registration code, and follows the kilometres week by week.

They have a tool of their own, separate from the app: the company portal.

Registering your company

Registration does not happen online. Write to n.garcia@terredeshommessuisse.ch: Terre des Hommes Suisse creates your company’s record, gives it a registration code, records your e-mail domain, and opens the portal to whoever you name.

The registration code and the e-mail domain are set by Terre des Hommes Suisse and cannot be changed from the portal. To update them, come back to us.

Signing in to the portal

The portal is at mdent-reborn2026-company.web.app.

Sign in with the e-mail address that was named and your account password. It is the same account as in the app: if you do not have one yet, create it as any participant would, and the access right applies the first time you sign in.

An ordinary participant account does not open the portal. If you are refused access when you believe you should have it, write to us.

Getting ready

Three things to settle before the start. The portal keeps reminding you until they are done.

Set a kilometre goal

Without a goal, your colleagues see no collective progress in the app: everyone walks on their own, with no idea where the company stands. A goal, even a rough one, gives them something to aim at.

You can change it along the way, or remove it by leaving the field empty.

Complete your company profile

Name, description, website, logo and profile image. This is what other companies see of you in the inter-company leaderboard.

Let the teams form themselves

Teams are not created from the portal: your colleagues build them in the app. A word from you is often all it takes to get things moving.

How colleagues join your company

There are two ways in, and the first asks nothing of anyone.

  • By work e-mail address. Anyone creating an account with an address at your domain is attached to your company automatically.
  • By registration code. For those whose address does not match the domain: a private address, a subsidiary, external staff. The code is entered when signing up, and capital letters matter.

The two work side by side: you do not have to choose.

Getting colleagues moving

The portal’s Participation guide holds three ready-to-send messages, already filled in with your company name, your domain, your code and your goal:

  • Launch, to announce that the company is taking part;
  • Mid-way, for those who have not started yet;
  • Thank you, at the end of the edition.

Copy them, read them over, put them in your own words. They are a starting point, not an official text.

Following participation

The Participants section shows four figures: registered participants, active participants, total distance and number of sessions. Below them, the list of your colleagues by name, each with their team, distance, number of sessions and last activity. A search field filters by name, address or team.

Open a participant and you see their sessions in detail, and for each one whether it came from the step counter or from manual entry.

Adding or correcting a session

From that detail you can add a session for a participant, or correct an existing one: distance or step count, activity type, times, notes.

This helps when someone reports a mistake, or takes part without a smartphone. But you are working on another person’s data: tell them, and correct only what they asked you to correct.

Exporting the results

The Export to Excel button produces a workbook of three sheets:

Sheet Contents
Summary Participation, distance, sessions and teams in figures: participation rate, progress towards the goal, average per active participant, split between walking and running.
Participants One row per person: first name, last name, e-mail address, team, status, distance, sessions, last activity.
Teams The internal leaderboard of your teams.

Status tells three situations apart: never started, active, inactive. It is the column that best shows where to follow up.

Visibility and personal data

Your company can stay out of sight. An option hides your company from the inter-company leaderboard. The internal leaderboard, the one your colleagues see among themselves, stays visible either way.

Anonymous mode does not apply to you. A participant can hide their name from the app’s leaderboards. That changes nothing in the portal: the list and the export still name people. Say so to your colleagues rather than letting them find out; it avoids a misunderstanding.

The export holds personal data. Names, work addresses and physical activity. Treat the file accordingly: limited circulation, and no internal publication naming people without their agreement.

Retention is limited. Terre des Hommes Suisse erases participants’ data at the end of each edition. For the detail of what is kept and for how long, write to us.
