TrackForce Finds a Smart Way to Manage and Secure its Business Devices with 42Gears UEM

 

Business Overview

Trackforce is an advanced workforce management platform provider that helps companies/organizations/enterprises to manage, monitor and automate security officer operations. Trusted by more than 20,000 organizations around the globe, TrackForce’s solution helps increase workforce accountability, improve operational efficiency and enable better communication between all stakeholders.

TrackForce security officers are armed with m-Post, a mobile app which helps them keep up with tasks and guard tours. The app helps the company ensure officers’ accountability, improve operational efficiency and enable better communication between officers and corporate security management. It also helps the company track guards in real-time, ensure transparency by getting more insights into workforce productivity and incentivize high performers.

The Challenge

1. De-centralized management of the devices: Streamlining officer operations and patrols was difficult due to the lack of a central dashboard.

2. Misuse of devices: As the devices issued to guards were all off-the-shelf devices, TrackForce wanted to ensure that they are only being used to access business applications.

3. Difficulty in deploying the business application: TrackForce had to deploy a huge number of devices with their business application installed on them, which was a time-consuming and cumbersome task.

4. Servicing the mobile devices were inconvenient and costly: Whenever a device broke down, the company had to transport it to the service center.
