What does the Trimble Store offer? § Today each distribution partner should have access to Trimble Store – just sign up § It can be used by dealers to check the status of your orders with Trimble:

What does Trimble Store offer? § It can now offer the ability to manage Passcodes for SPS GPS receivers – there are parts suffixed with ‘IS’ that can be purchased in the normal manner through Order Processing – a Credit Part Number will then appear in your Trimble Store – Enter the receiver Serial Number and get the code Example: the GLONASS option

Why do you need to be using it? § It is faster: – as soon as the order is cleared you have access to the options in the Trimble Store – allows 24/7 access by the distribution partner. – no human input needed once order is cleared § Distribution partner can recall passcodes – they are retained for later use – it’s a full record § Future SPS GPS products as released will use the Trimble Store for more flexibility in configuring receivers: – activations and all options will only be available via the Trimble Store

Requesting Access to Trimble Store § § § Once you have an account now apply for access to Trimble Store Press on the ‘Profile’ button Click on ‘here’ to request access

Requesting Access to Trimble Store § § Tick the request for access to Construction sector Trimble Store Press Next

Requesting Access to Trimble Store § § § Fill in your name, email and role Fill in your organizations Principal (so we can verify your access) Enter the message “I want to get the Construction Passcode Generator and Order Status” Press Submit If a reseller employee leaves the organization then its up to the reseller to notify Trimble so access is stopped For larger resellers Trimble can send a list of people with access to the Trimble Store for review and confirmation that all are still valid

Passcode Retrieval Requirements The following information is required to retrieve your passcode: – Login username and password to Trimble Store – Serial numbers of the SPS GPS units to upgrade – And then to help filter the data: § The Purchase Order or Sales Order number § Part numbers of the upgrades that were ordered (they start with the letters ‘IS’)

Common Reasons for Passcode Delays § No ‘IS’ part upgrade has been ordered by you yet – Remember to order the part starting with ‘IS’ via Order Fulfilment in the normal manner § Incorrect receiver serial number is used to try and generate the passcode § The upgrade code is not applicable to the receiver serial number (and therefore receiver model) § The optional passcode email went to your SPAM / JUNK email box § We highly recommend using the Trimble Store for passcode retrieval to ensure timely processing
