PDA: DispenseWorks Script Q

It is possible to install the Q app on either a PDA or a phone that is connected to the network. However, once you leave the store or network, the use of the Q app will be discontinued.

To install the app on a PDA or phone, you have to access the Q link located at the top right of the Dispense Works screen. Copy the link or URL provided (for example, in a test environment, it may appear as https://blooms-test.dispense.works/), and paste it into the Chrome browser on your PDA. From there, you can add it to the homepage of your device.

If you require access to the DispenseWorks Dashboard App, please submit a Service Request Ticket.
