Connect Your Staff

Staff, salesmen and drivers use the app in their phone’s or computer’s web browser. You give each person a login, and they open the app’s address.

1. Add Each Person

Go to Settings → Users & Permissions and add a user for each person, with the role that fits: Staff, Salesman or Delivery. Tick what each staff member may do. (A full page on users and permissions is coming in the Settings chapter.)

2. Give Them the Address

Open Staff Access (bottom of the sidebar). It shows the address to open — with a QR code, Copy Address and Share.

The Staff Access page

  • In the Office — works on the same Wi-Fi or office network. No internet needed. Under the address is a second one ending in .local — it keeps working even when the router changes the number.
  • Outside the Office — appears after you turn on Settings → Remote Access (uses a free Tailscale account). Salesmen can then use the app on mobile data.

3. Open It on a Phone

On the phone, open the camera and point it at the QR code, then tap the link.

Sign in with the username and password you gave them.

4. Add It to the Home Screen (iPhone)

In Safari, tap Share → Add to Home Screen → Add. The app then opens full screen from its own icon, like any other app.

Share → Add to Home Screen

On Android, open the browser menu (⋮) → Add to Home screen.

The main computer must be on and the app running for staff to connect — see Keep It Running.

Not all features are available in every copy of Distribution App. Some features, such as Payment QR Code, Salesman Locations and Signed Delivery Receipts, are add-ons that must first be switched on in Settings › Features. Once the free trial ends, the app needs a license key or activation code. Distribution App runs on Mac and Windows; staff phones and tablets connect through the office computer on the same Wi-Fi network. Tax records, receipts and reports follow Philippine (BIR) rules and may not suit businesses in other countries. Screens in this guide show the Demo Company — all names, addresses and prices are made up — and may look slightly different from your version of the app. Features may change without notice.
