  1. KEY CONCEPTS

Important Information

This section explains some key concepts to help you understand how OffshoreSMS works.

Last updated 4 months ago

Mobile App vs the Web Dashboard:

The Web Dashboard:

In a nutshell, the web dashboard is for owners and fleet managers to manage the people and assets in their fleet, and manage what app users see.

The awesome mobile app:

The app is where Masters/Skippers and crew complete all kinds of daily logs and view the SMS content.


Fleets, Assets and People:

In OffshoreSMS, all marine assets are part of a fleet. A fleet is simply the name of your business or organisation, and all fleet administrators have access to a special web dashboard to manage the assets and people in that fleet.


User accounts & user profiles:

You will need a user account to access any part of OffshoreSMS, whether you are a fleet administrator, vessel owner or a deckhand. User profiles are owned and managed exclusively by you the user. Only you have control over what goes into your profile.


Types of marine assets

OffshoreSMS is a place to manage any number of marine assets. That can be vessels, tenders, tow vehicles, personal water craft, trailers, tour buses, offices, sheds, workshops or anything else.
