SIM Creation
Register new SIM card assets in Fleet Master by providing telecom provider info, SIM details, storage mapping, and optional document uploads. Enables full tracking and assignment readiness.
Overview
All SIMs in Fleet Master must be registered before assignment or tracking can begin. The SIM Creation form captures all key data including SIM number, telecom provider, plan details, and storage location in a warehouse structure.
This process transforms a telecom SIM card into a fully managed and assignable asset within the Asset Management module.
