Rugged and Field Device Management
Tablets, rugged laptops, and field hardware managed with the same care as the machines in your office. They take more abuse and they usually get less attention.
The Problem
Your Hardest-Working Hardware Gets the Least Attention.
Field devices get dropped, rained on, left in a truck overnight, and handed between crews without anybody tracking who has what.
When one dies, the daily report doesn't get filed and the photos don't get taken. When one disappears, nobody is quite sure whether it had anything on it worth worrying about. That second one is the expensive kind of uncertainty.
Whats Included
Device selection help, so you buy hardware that survives the environment instead of replacing consumer tablets every season.
Setup, configuration, and enrollment before it ever goes to the field.
Monitoring and patching on a schedule, not when it's convenient.
Remote monitoring and management, so you keep complete control of your devices.
Remote wipe if a device walks off the job site.
Unique logins per user, so you can tell who did what.
Repair and replacement coordination, including warranty claims.
An accurate inventory of what you own and who is holding it
Why Construction?
The Shared Tablet
One tablet, one login, whole crew. It's the most common setup on a construction site, and it's completely understandable. It's convenient, nobody has to remember a password, and the work gets done.
It also means you cannot tell who did what on that device.
Enrollment before deployment is the part that saves real money. A device configured properly before it reaches a site is a device you can wipe, track, and support remotely. One handed straight to a crew out of the box is a device you'll drive out to fix.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you manage devices we already bought?
Usually. Enrollment works on most modern devices running Android and iOS, and where it doesn't, that's worth knowing before the next purchase instead of after.
What happens when a phone/tablet gets stolen?
If it's enrolled before it went to the field, it gets locked and wiped remotely and you know what was on it. If it wasn't, there's little that can be done. Enrolling a device after it's gone is not a thing.
Does every crew member need their own login?
Yes, and it doesn't have to slow the crew down. A tablet meant to be shared gets set up so each person signs in as themselves, which keeps the record of who did what without anybody memorizing a password.
Are consumer tablets good enough for the field?
Sometimes, in a case, indoors. On a site they get replaced often enough that the cheaper device stops being the cheaper choice. Selection help is part of the service so you buy once.

How Many Devices Do You Actually Have?
Most contractors can't answer that precisely, and that's the first thing worth fixing. Tell me what your crews are carrying and I'll tell you what's worth changing. No cost, no commitment.
