Protection has to start before the customer walks out the door. You enroll a phone from the Dealer App at your counter, then activate it with a QR code.
Enrollment happens from your own Android phone — no computer needed. After you generate the customer's device key in the Dealer App, you provision the customer's factory-reset phone in one of two ways: over a USB-OTG cable, or over Wi-Fi. The Dealer App installs the IBS protection app on the phone and sets it up, and the Dealer App shows what to do at each step.
Once the phone is provisioned, the IBS app on it is activated by scanning the customer's Activation QR code from the Dealer App. The phone's IMEI is read for you, and a short guided setup on the phone finishes the job. The device is then registered to your shop, and protection is active before the customer leaves with it. Each activation uses one device key.
The customer's phone must run Android 7.0 or above and be provisioned on a factory-reset phone, before a Google account is added. Provisioning over Wi-Fi uses Android's Wireless debugging, which is available on Android 11 and above. Some controls depend on the Android version too: blocking USB data, for example, needs Android 12 or above.
If an already-enrolled phone comes back to the counter, you can re-apply its protection from the Dealer App settings.
Each customer in the Dealer App has an installment plan: the price, the down payment and the number of installments, daily, weekly or monthly. Due dates and reminders are generated automatically from there.
Your first 10 device keys are free — enough to enroll a handful of phones and see how enrollment fits your counter workflow.
