To use our digital vehicle inspection<\/a> software, users can log in from a computer, tablet, or even their cell phones.\u00a0Since we’re web-based, there’s no need to download an app, but the user will probably want an icon to click to open the program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once you have your employees set up in the system<\/a>, do them a favor and add a shortcut to our software on their home screen of whatever device they will be using, whether that’s a tablet or a cell phone. BTW, we highly recommend using a tablet instead of a cell phone. The phones work fine, it’s just easier to see and type on with a tablet. We recommend the Samsung Galaxy Tab family. 7″ to 8″ screen works best. Android 16 is current; we recommend anything newer than Android 14 for best results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To add a shortcut to the devices homescreen, here are some instructions:

iPad or iPhone:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Launch \u201cSafari\u201d app.  see below if you’re using Chrome.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Enter into the address field repairshopsolutions.com\/login<\/a>. Tap \u201cGo.\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Have the user login so the homescreen of your RSS account shows.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Tap the icon featuring a right-pointing arrow coming out of a box along the top of the Safari window to open a drop-down menu.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Tap \u201cAdd to Home Screen.\u201d The Add to Home dialog box will appear, with the icon that will be used for this website on the left side of the dialog box.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  6. Enter the name “RSS” for the shortcut using the on-screen keyboard and tap \u201cAdd.\u201d Safari will close automatically and you will be taken to where the icon is located on your iPad\u2019s desktop.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Android: (or using Chrome on an iPad)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    1. Launch \u201cChrome\u201d app<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. Enter into the address field repairshopsolutions.com\/login<\/a>. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
    3. Have the user login so the homescreen of your RSS account shows.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
