Proget MDM for transport and logistics – check how you will develop your business and ensure the security of employees and data

Proget MDM for transport and logistics

The transport and logistics sector is under greater pressure than ever before. Companies are looking for a way to maintain a balance between making deliveries as quickly, efficiently and cheaply as possible and ensuring the safety of drivers and sensitive data processed. They eliminate suboptimal manual and paper activities by massively implementing mobile devices. Unfortunately, numerous, dispersed, often improperly secured and managed fleets of devices can become a source of completely new problems.

Using an appropriate mobility management tool can help achieve business goals, maximize the quality and security of services provided, and meet legal requirements regarding data protection. A tool dedicated to implementing such assumptions is Proget – the only Polish MDM / UEM system, equipped with functionalities whose use will improve the operations of every company in the transport and logistics industry.

Application management

The inability to assign specific applications on company devices or block certain programs may result in inappropriate use of the equipment. This not only distracts and undermines employee productivity. Under certain conditions, it may even lead to breaking the law and exposing drivers to real danger, for example if they use their phone for entertainment purposes while driving.

The Proget system, through the use of a kiosk mode, allows to limit the use of the device only to a specific set of applications, consisting of, for example, those used for navigation, communication and necessary business applications specific to a given company. Additionally, a special function of blocking applications in motion based on the analysis of the speed at which the device (and its user) is moving makes it easier to protect drivers. As the speed increases, only those applications that the administrator deems most necessary remain active – thanks to this, the driver will not only be more focused, but also safer, and this, in turn, will guarantee the company that its employees comply with generally accepted rules.

Remote desktop

Currently, many transport and logistics organizations provide services around the world, which results in a significant dispersion of the fleet of devices during deliveries. In the event of problems with equipment or applications, it is crucial to provide immediate assistance to employees working in the field or in warehouses.

Proget Remote, a tool that is part of the system, allows you to take remote control of the device and navigate its screen in exactly the same way as if the administrator had the phone physically in his hand. Thanks to this, employees do not have to waste time trying to repair it themselves or interrupt the execution of the order to go to the office or service center. This reduces unnecessary downtime and significantly increases the efficiency of both parties.

Roaming cost control

International transport may involve increased costs of using data roaming on company mobile devices. Applying the appropriate policy in the Proget console (in Device Owner mode) allows you to completely disable data transmission while roaming. It is also possible to create a white list of countries in which the administrator allows the use of company packet data. Thanks to this, Proget allows organizations to control data transmission in places where the cost of sending even 1 GB may be unexpectedly high.

Data security and regulatory compliance

Employees of transport and logistics companies increasingly store documents related to a given order on their mobile devices. They contain various data, including organizational and customer data, that require security in accordance with laws and industry regulations. Even one improperly protected, lost work device can pose a serious threat to information security. If the device is lost or stolen, the Proget system provides the ability to remotely lock and erase the memory.

Location and geofencing

Proget allows you to track the location of devices in three different modes: on demand, in a time interval or in motion, creating a history of the device’s movement. The solution also allows you to configure the day and time when the location will be downloaded. The administrator can request a specific address, not just GPS coordinates. Using this functionality gives IT specialists a general overview of where individual company devices are located. If you lose a device, the data about its location in the system allows you to attempt to recover the equipment.

The geofencing function in Proget, associated with the location service, uses the GPS signal to create a virtual boundary of a real geographical area within which it is possible to trigger specific actions on devices – for example, assigning them an additional policy or profile.
