Are You Ready for Next Level Mobile Device Management?
You already enjoy greater productivity and worker effectiveness from phone and tablet mobile devices used by a transitory workforce. But why should those efficiency benefits cease when housing and storing those very same devices? Did you realize most enterprise mobile storage options are a hidden drain on operational efficiency throughout the entire business enterprise?
Fact is, Industry sectors such as Warehouse and Distribution Management, Manufacturing/Inventory Management, and Retail/Backroom Management can all suffer from productivity declines without an effective and systemized device storage solution in place.
THE DANGER OF NOT KNOWING: 3 KEY QUESTIONS TO ASK
It’s prudent to expect more efficiency, productivity, and accountability from all workers. And yet the actual reality is often anything but which raises these key questions …Question #1:?How closely can you track the chain of custody for each device?
Question #2: What’s your confidence level in knowing who had which device, when and what happened to it, and how often it was in use throughout the worker’s shift?
Question #3: Are you charging and updating devices on a manual, one-off basis?
If you answered “I don’t know” to any of these questions the real answer is simple: you need a storage solution that delivers centralized device management and secured distribution access. Otherwise, you’re flying blind in terms of any level of accountability for broken or lost devices. When left unchecked, these issues cause obstruction and disruption to an effective enterprise workflow. Fortunately, it doesn’t have to be that way. Because the ultimate mobile device management solution is closer than you think.
