Avoid lost or misplaced devices in the workplace with Barcoding’s newest mobile application, BOS Mobile™! As always, Barcoding has focused on creating a tool that will improve productivity and efficiency for your company’s technology. Functionable on any Android device with Lollipop OS or higher, BOS Mobile captures employee and mobile computer utilization data to locate misplaced devices with a “Find Me” feature. With real-world analytics about your company’s devices, not only will employees be held accountable for the devices they use, but also ensure their safe return back to the charging cradles.

This mobile app can provide information beyond that of general statistics of device health and usage. Greg Henry, former VP of Client Solutions and current VP of Operations at Saleen, Inc., said that BOS Mobile is “giving a whole bunch more information about how assets are being used, which is informing them going forward on how many assets they need, where they need them located and so forth.”

With their ability to identify problems or a gap in the market for those in the supply chain industry, Henry felt that this mobile agent was the “natural next step of device utilization management.”

Mutually-beneficial Features

Barcoding makes the BOS Mobile user experience seamless and simple. Employees who are checking out a device are prompted with a sign-on screen: here, BOS Mobile records their information and also ensures that they have the authority to use the device. Your company also has the option of implementing back-end authentication services such as active directory. BOS Mobile’s sign-in process makes sure that the right devices are getting to the right employees while safeguarding your company’s network security.

Collecting Data and Improving Productivity

Once a user is logged-in and ready to go with their device, BOS Mobile captures data throughout its use; observing information such as device abuse (how the user handles the device), the mobile agent can identify if the user needs additional training or if the environment in which they were working needs to be adjusted. By logging user usage statistics, your company can better analyze and understand work activities by improving scheduling to increasing productivity.

BOS Mobile is filling a void in the mobile computing market. This mobile agent is revolutionary not only in the data it is able to provide, but also in the way it betters productivity for all.

With BOS Mobile, you can assess your devices performance to make sure that they are best functioning for your operation’s needs. By gathering this data, you can check on your asset availability and whether or not your devices are as efficient as possible. When devices may not be functioning properly, users can report issues for consolidated management review where you can check in on operational processes, identify application enhancements, and capture user concerns.

The Search is Over—Pinpoint Device Location with Tracking

When devices are misplaced, BOS Mobile’s “Find Me” function can search its location; rather than wasting employee time searching for the device, the mobile agent does the work for you. By quickly locating the device, time can be better allocated to tasks that need employee attention.

Integrate BOS Mobile into your Pre-existing Tech

BOS Mobile is versatile to any environment, and its value is in the ability for enterprises to match asset purchases to their employee scheduling needs, while reducing ongoing support and asset replacement costs.

If your company already utilizes MDM tools, BOS Mobile is a compliment to your fleet of efficiency strategies. Implement Barcoding’s latest mobile agent to get the most out of the devices that are integrated in your company’s day-to-day activities.
