Mobile Device Management
Asset Tracking and Device Management Solutions
Slash the problem of missing/lost mobile devices while automating their issue and return. Enable both operations and IT teams to make wise decisions around mobile devices that drive better productivity and cost reductions using mobile device management.
According to research from leading rugged mobile device manufacturer Zebra Technologies, organisations lose between 12% and 15% of their mobile device estate per annum.
Additionally, the operational overhead per single shift in issuing out and receiving back shared devices in a typical organisation represents at least 50% of the average device cost every single year.
Working with Waizu, CMC will greatly reduce lost or missing devices in your business and automate the issue in/out process to put significant money back on your bottom line.
What is mobile device management?
At a high level, mobile device management or MDM encompasses systems and software to deploy, administer and locate mobile devices.
When we hear the word mobile we often think of the smartphone in our pocket. Mobile device management is intended to keep track of any device that is portable. For most businesses this will include laptops and tablets, too. A distribution and logistics company will also want to keep track of code scanners, label printers, wearables and so on.
The portable devices we rely on is growing so a mobile device management solution has become a necessity.
Why use mobile device management?
Mobile devices have a lifespan. Battery capacity and condition will wane over time. Even rugged mobile devices will suffer from wear and damage if mistreated. And inevitably devices will go missing and be lost.
When you have hundreds or thousands of mobile devices to keep track of MDM can offer savings of time and money. From a centralised system you can manage device lifecycle with proactive insights and timely replacements. It will significantly reduce overheads for missing or lost devices. And use it to track device location, measure application usage and overall system capacity.

Waizu is a provider of solutions to reduce lost and missing mobile devices including the industry leading ‘Device Finder’ application. CMC can provide solutions utilising the entire Waizu Software Suite, including Device Finder, Virtual Smart Cabinet and the Waizu Analytics Platform.
Mobile technology sits at the centre of what we do, so the Waizu platform provides an ideal fit for our mobile device services. Customers tell us that they lose between 8% and 13% of their mobile devices per annum. Our solution with Waizu can dramatically reduce this percentage, adding thousands of pounds back to the operational bottom line. Additionally, as Waizu removes the need for any kind of manual issue-out/receipt-in of devices or hard copy recording, the daily productivity gains are extremely compelling. Amazingly, the ROI on this solution is typically just 18-22 weeks.
Device Finder by Waizu
Device Finder automatically alerts you when a mobile device has been misplaced or is inactive and therefore potentially missing, sounding an audible alert to help you to pinpoint its exact location. You can also use Device Finder via an Android tablet or Android mobile phone to identify the last known location of the mobile device and to trigger an audible alert, helping you to locate it quickly.
Virtual Smart Cabinet by Waizu
Virtual Smart Cabinet (VSC) provides an extremely robust system to capture device user, location, duration and usage data. It can save you thousands of pounds by slashing the cost of issuing out and receipting back shared mobile devices. VSC also enables you to containerise any type of location and automate the issue and receipt back of devices within it meaning rooms, shelves, charging stations, wall racks can all become a ‘virtual’ cabinet.
