How Fractals Fleet Works

What the platform does, who uses it, and how sign-in works.

Fractals Fleet Management is where operators run a fleet of satellite hardware and hosts manage the sites where devices are deployed. Everything lives in one web app. Sign in with Google and use the role-specific pages built for your job.

Who uses the platform

Operators (fleet managers) own an organization. They register devices, invite hosts, watch rewards on the dashboard, and approve payouts.

Hosts are site operators. They receive an invite link from their fleet operator, submit a short application, and after approval see their assigned devices and earnings.

Platform admins have the same operator tools plus cross-organization access when needed.

Signing in

Everyone signs in with Google. There are no separate passwords.

  • Operators sign in from the homepage and land on Hub, the guided starting point for fleet setup.
  • Hosts open the invite link their operator shared (it includes the fleet reference). They sign in with Google, complete the application form, and wait for approval.

If you are a host and try to sign in without an invite link, you will not be attached to a fleet until an operator invites you.
