As the name suggests, the Admiral Console is indeed the point of command and control. This dashboard is a complete management system for all your fleet. The Admiral Console enables you to create your company profile which includes all your users or employees. Creating and managing your fleet of trailers can also be done once your company profile has been set up. You can also manage the authorization of your trailers anywhere and anytime.
To get started, navigate to the Admiral Console website. The landing page greets you by prompting you to sign in but before that, go ahead and create an account by signing yourself up.
Now that an account has been created, it’s time to go ahead and setup the company details. When logged in, the dashboard contains a list of options to choose from: managing your company and users, authorization of trailer pickup, and creating or managing your fleet as can be seen in the figure below.
Creating a Company
From the dashboard, navigate to Account and complete the short form by entering your company details as instructed. A small note at the top of the form provides an alternative in case some of your company information is not available, as shown in the figure below.
Providing the Standard Carrier Alpha Code (SCAC) or in the case of not having a government issued SCAC, a 5-letter abbreviation is necessary because it uniquely identifies your company and is important when it comes to managing your fleet and the authorization of your users.
Bear in mind this step is important before moving onto authorizing any of your users or employees to interact with your fleet or even managing your fleet. Once this step has been completed, you can proceed to creating your fleet and begin managing it.
Trailer Authorization
The authorization of accessing and controlling your fleet is achieved under the Security module of the console. This is where you or your users can securely arm or disengage the Hub with your tractor.
Fleet Management
In this section of the Admiral Console, you can view the list of equipment that you currently have. Initially, after the installation of the Hub on your trailer, this list is going to be empty and as your fleet grows, so is the equipment list. All of those equipment and details can conveniently be viewed in the Equipment List under this section.
This is also where the Hub provisioning process is executed. Start by adding your vehicle details by clicking on the Add Equipment button and filling in the form. Once your trailer or tractor details have been added, the Hub installed on the specific vehicle is associated to that vehicle. Upon successful provisioning, the tracking and security management of your vehicle and the fleet at large becomes a straightforward task.
