Remote Panel Installation & Setup

Remote panels are additional dispatch panels that allow for simultaneous dispatching with your Main Order Panel. They function almost exactly the same as the main panel, minus the ability to adjust settings and create invoices. They're also completely portable and can be installed on as many machines as you want, although a single username can only be active on one machine at a time. If you're interested in licensing a Remote Panel, give us a call!

Once you've added a remote license, you can create an additional user by navigating to 'Settings' > 'Additional Users'.


Use the 'Add' button to create a username and password for your Remote Panel. From here you can also set user permissions (for example, allowing the Remote Panel user to edit driver and customer information). Once this is done, you'll be able to run the Remote Panel from any other computer with internet access. To do this, open that computer's browser and input the web address shown in the 'Additional Users' window. The address looks like this:

Click the download link, install the program, and enter your newly created ID and password. The installation will also create a Remote Panel shortcut on your desktop. From here, you're all set to start dispatching.
