MDM Made It Easy!
Since 2020 brought about a completely unexpected turn of events, most of the workforce has moved to remote work. According to data from January 2022, there has been a worldwide increase in interest in software to keep tabs on employees of 78% in that time. More and more companies are turning to MDM solutions to keep tabs on their staff’s whereabouts in real time. Through the use of MDM software, company IT administrators are able to keep tabs on their dispersed workforce more effectively. Only difficulty is keeping workers from turning off location services.
Some industries, such as logistics and transportation, where the labour is remote and constantly on the move, require location tracking. Numerous companies supply Android phones to their employees so they may remain connected and use corporate applications and networks on the road.
When using Android, why is it critical to disable location services?
Businesses in the delivery, at-home assistance, and transportation sectors are prime examples of those who must keep continual tabs on their employees’ whereabouts. Location tracking services allow enterprise IT departments to always know where their employees are, no matter where they actually are.
Businesses in the transportation and delivery industries can benefit greatly from GPS-based position monitoring since it allows them to better assist their drivers and agents in optimising delivery routes and keeping them apprised of impending road closures. The company IT department can keep tabs on the efficiency of the drivers and service technicians thanks to this tool.
Companies can quickly and easily find missing employees’ devices with the use of MDM systems’ location tracking, lock them remotely, and delete any company data if they are stolen.
