The COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic has massively disrupted the supply chain with 94% of Fortune 1000s agreeing. Although we cannot change these external factors, we can adapt and respond to keep the supply chain infrastructure strong. Here are some important things to keep in mind that can strengthen your supply chain in uncertain times like these.
Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM)
Many of your employees may be working from home, so now is a great time to think about bolstering your enterprise mobility. Reliable devices will allow your employees and business to continue to be productive, informed, and safe.
Don’t have enough devices to support everyone working from home? Consider renting. Renting devices helps with short-term fluctuations and includes Barcoding’s team of dedicated service and support professionals available to help answer any questions.
Security
It is essential to protect your company’s valuable data while employees are working remotely. Email phishing scams and home wi-fi network attacks can give scammers access to mobile devices, leaving sensitive information vulnerable. Without the convenience of an IT team on-site, or the safety of an office network, having a strong mobile device security foundation is crucial.
Mobile Device Management (MDM)
Mobile device management for BYOD can help you stay organized and protected. Features like locking the corporate side of a mobile device, so that the user can continue regular use of the device on-the-go, can protect both your business and your employees. Location tracking can assist in the event that a device is lost, so that you can minimize risk of data being stolen.
