# Important Information

## 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, **manage** **what app users see,** and **monitor compliance.**

#### **The awesome mobile app:**&#x20;

Our mobile app is where **Masters/Skippers and crew** complete all kinds of **daily logs, monitor crew and equipment compliance,** 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.
