Smarter device lifecycle management equips employees for better customer experiences.
With more retailers operating their businesses via mobile applications on phones, tablets, and customized handheld devices there is an ongoing need to refresh devices, authorized applications, and security on a regular basis. That’s especially true for one of the world’s largest big box retailers with over one million associates selling and moving merchandise from warehouses to stores to customer locations and everywhere in between. Keeping track of inventory, and meeting customer demand on time every time is job one, so having up-to-the-minute information and business applications at associates’ fingertips is fundamental to success.
