FocalPoint Software Mobile Edition for iPhone and Android Devices

The FocalPoint software mobile edition for iPhone and Android devices allows you to gain direct access to your store and valuable information. With this mobile application, you can see rental inventory availability and rates, customer contact information with the ability to dial out, rental ROI and equipment history, customer balances and daily store revenue reporting, and more! The mobile application is securely password-protected, and global for multi location environments.

 

You are required to have a mobile device with Android version 5 or above, or iOS version 10 or above. Device licensing for the application needs to be purchased from Visum. Please contact Visum for pricing information by email (sales@visum-corp.com) or phone (763.244.8050).

 

Please make sure your Router has been configured to port forward TCP traffic on Port 8888 to your local FocalPoint Server. To make sure that you have this set up correctly, go to http://canyouseeme.org. Your external IP address will fill in for you, but you will need to enter "8888" in the "Port to Check" field. Click on "Check Port". Note your response.

 

Also, in FocalPoint, confirm that users that will be using this application have the needed Security Area Access, by default Administrators, Executives, and Store Managers have full access. *SPECIAL NOTE* If you have a large database it is recommended to do this installation over a Wi-Fi connection instead of over the cell based internet connection.
