Step 3: Download and Install the Mobile Point of Sale (MPS) Application
Use your tablet device to download and install the Mobile Point of Sale (MPS) application. To download MPS, you will need an Apple® ID or a Google account. If your dealership does not have an account, you will need to create one.
Digital Retail offers two options to download the MPS application:
- In the Apple App Store™ search for ‘RouteOne MPS.’
- In the Google Play™ store search for ‘RouteOne MPS.’
If you are in the RouteOne system, you can also access the Apple App Store™ or Google Play™ from the ‘Mobile Point of Sale Configuration’ section.
- Click on the ‘Admin’ tab from the top navigation, and select ‘Premium Services’ from the dropdown. Click on ‘Digital Retail’ to expand the section.
- Scroll down to the ‘Mobile Point of Sale Configuration’ section. You can click ‘Download on the App Store™’ or ‘Get it on Google Play™.’
Within the App Store or Google Play store, download and install the application.
Important: You will need to configure your MPS application settings on your tablet device before you open the MPS application. You will receive an error message if you open the MPS application before you configure your settings.
After downloading the mobile MPS application, you will need your RouteOne Dealer ID.
If you do not know your Dealer ID, log into the RouteOne system, and look for the five digit code next to your dealership’s name in the top left corner of the page.
Within your tablet device, open ‘Settings,’ and click the ‘RouteOne MPS’ tab.
Enter your Dealer ID (Note that the app is currently on Version Build 1.1.22.).
To confirm that your RouteOne Dealer ID saves, navigate off the page by tapping another tab, and then return to the ‘RouteOne MPS’ tab.
If you do not see RouteOne Mobile Point of Sale (MPS) in Settings, or if you cannot enter your Dealer ID, you may need to reboot the ‘Settings’ for your tablet device.
To do this, double tap the round button on your tablet, then swipe up to close the ‘Settings’ window.
