Satin Creditcare Opens New Opportunities with 42Gears’ Help

Business Overview
Satin Creditcare Network Limited (SCNL) is one of India’s biggest microfinance institutions (MFI), with clients in more than 20 Indian states and union territories.  As a microfinance institution, SCNL provides financial services to those who are too poor or remote to easily access traditional banking services.  SCNL supports female entrepreneurs through a Joint Liability Group system, and also offers loans to facilitate essential investments like solar lamps, water infrastructure, and most recently, housing.
Background and Challenges
SCNL’s focus on rural development requires that a large number of field agents travel through rural India, acting as salespeople, collecting on debts, and performing other transactions.  SCNL provided its field agents with tablets to streamline data collection and processing, but this introduced several new issues:
  • If workers lost devices while travelling through rural areas, finding those devices would be almost impossible. 
  • Workers needed to transmit and receive financial data while in-the-field, but this introduced potential security risks, such as a third-party intercepting the data. 
  • If workers forgot to update their apps with the latest updates, it could cause compatibility issues with other workers’ devices. 
  • If workers played games or otherwise became distracted on their devices, it could hurt productivity and spike the rate of data consumption.
The Solution
Benefits
  • Deploying and managing devices became much easier with SureMDM and SureLock, improving overall efficiency. 
  • SureMDM and SureLock helped SCNL keep data safe and bolster customer trust. 
  • SCNL saw substantial productivity boosts after locking down tablets to block off-topic apps.
