Why are we and Zebra such a good match?
Best practice management of shift-based devices
When managing devices shared among your workforce, it's essential to eliminate unnecessary features and functions that could disrupt work processes. The recommended approach is to implement a kiosk mode that restricts access to only the necessary functionalities. We offer a Managed Kiosk service, providing a comprehensive outsourced Mobile Device Management (MDM) solution for shared devices. Our service includes a customisable kiosk mode, branded with your company logo and colors, ensuring a tailored experience. With Techstep's Managed Kiosk, we transform devices into purpose-built work tools, enabling your employees to access precisely what they need, when they need it.
Rugged hardware needs rugged software
While rugged hardware is crucial, it's equally important for the software to withstand the challenges encountered in demanding work environments. That's precisely why Techstep has developed the Amplify solution for frontline data capture and workflows. Our solution is designed to handle heavy workloads seamlessly, overcome offline obstacles, and prioritise usability. We're committed to helping our customers enhance frontline productivity and efficiency, recognising the critical role it plays in achieving their business goals.
Device lifecycle management for the frontline
Frontline workers often rely on shared or shift-based devices, where they simply choose a device from a rack at the beginning of their shift. In this scenario, where devices have no specific owner, a unique approach is required for various aspects such as procurement, enrolment, repairs, and returns. We understand this challenge and have developed a comprehensive lifecycle solution that incorporates self-service options for each stage that could be managed within a device organisational structure set by you. Through our portal, you gain the ability to track the organisational belonging of devices, rather than individual ownership, enabling managers to efficiently control their shared mobile fleet from a single platform.
