42Gears’ solutions help Mobis India Ltd. improve operational efficiency and minimize troubleshooting timelines

Business Overview

Mobis India Ltd., a subsidiary of Hyundai Motors, specializes in manufacturing spare parts and accessories for Hyundai automobiles. Mobis focuses on electrification, connectivity, and autonomous driving. The company strives to make driving safer and simpler and supplies service parts as well. Through a network of Parts Distribution Centers (PDCs), dispersed throughout major cities, Mobis provides after-sales parts and accessories. The company also exports accessories and parts for after-sales service through its extensive network of international distributors. Mobis also created a massive flow production line to manufacture essential components of hydrogen-powered vehicles in order to make the technology more suitable for mass production. Mobis is a customer of 42Gears’ partner, Supra Compec Pvt. Ltd., a Chennai-based IT hardware sales and support provider operating since 1996.

Challenges

Mobis faced significant challenges managing their Windows CE and Windows ME devices. The company’s manual and time-consuming approach to application deployment, policy management, and troubleshooting was not only ineffective but also expensive. Additionally, they lacked knowledge regarding battery life, device performance, and potential problems with its devices operating at remote sites. The combination of these issues and lack of insights led to delayed response times as well as frequent downtimes during crucial working hours.

Solution

Mobis India Ltd. selected 42Gears’ solutions (recommended by Supra Compec) to manage its Motorola Windows CE and Windows ME devices efficiently. The deployment of 42Gears’ SureMDM and SureLock turned out to be a game changer for them.
