Finding the hidden cost of fleet management

If your organization manages a fleet of devices, your cost and complexity are only growing exponentially. There is a solution against this ever-growing cost.

The problem

The use of mobile devices across organisations have grown exponentially in the last decade and are expected to continue to grow as enterprises digitize their value chains. This reality has created new challenges for organisations as they must manage ever growing fleets of devices.

Device management is costly, maintenance cost for each device in use is in fact an annual expense greater than the initial purchase price of that device (Gartner). Organisations are often not set up to manage fleets of devices efficiently and underestimate the complexity and related total cost. These unpredictable costs directly impact the bottom line.

While fleet management cost can be a burden, the actual management and maintenance can have an exponential effect as device numbers grow. Ensuring device software are always up to date, with the latest files, is a challenge and is especially important in environments that have to follow strict regulatory requirements such as in the aviation industry.

As fleets grow, device tracking and readiness becomes difficult, which in turn can become a financial risk. 52% of misplaced or stolen devices come from inside the workplace, having the ability to track devices can limit losses due to theft or misplacement. Adding to the complexity is ensuring that the devices are always fully ready for use in order to not impact scheduled tasks.

If devices can be tracked, continuously updated and made available around the clock for a wide array of applications within an organisation, the toolset can become a real value add for any department, which can deliver a true element of the shared economy within an organisation.

Choose a market leader in device management

The NetSpot solution (NTS) is a bundle composed of a hardware component and a software platform that facilitates devices sharing (laptop, tablets, and more) all centralised into its own fully contained kiosk. The solution allows administrators to control the process of physically managing, distributing, charging, and monitoring an organisation’s fleets of devices. The solution also enables easy remote and unattended content distribution (including Operating System deployments) across all devices in the network, anywhere around the world, within minutes.

It is a very time-consuming and therefore costly activity to manage, track, update and synch hundreds or thousands of mobile devices across an organisation. The NetSpot software manages this for the customer. This proven technology was developed and built with extreme reliability.

With NetSpot solution, an IT manager can open a brand-new iPad, insert into the NTS kiosk, and it will be automatically configured, loaded, charged and ready for deployment. No other solution allows administrators to manage so efficiently fleet of devices. Cloud-based management of large global fleets of mobile devices works even in specialized industries such as aviation; it allows organisations to keep up with the update of complex, rapidly changing and highly regulated data.
