Manage mobile devices on construction sites and installations securely and easily
Centrally set up and secure smartphones and tablets for site managers, crews, installation teams and field service, and equip them with the right line-of-business apps – with Mobile Device Management from Germany.
WHAT CORTADO OFFERS
Less office effort. More security on the construction site.
Construction and trade companies have long worked on the move – on changing construction sites, during installation and in field service. Usually with no IT department on site. Cortado MDM brings rollout, security, app distribution and data protection together in one place.
ROLLOUT
Bring ready-to-use devices to the construction site
New smartphones and tablets set themselves up the first time they are switched on and arrive fully configured for site managers, crews or technicians – with no trip to the office.
- New devices start fully set up – with no on-site effort
- Device groups by construction site, crew or trade
- Provide replacement devices in minutes instead of hours
SHARED DEVICES
Run shared devices cleanly across crews and shifts
One tablet for the whole team: only the apps that are needed are visible on the device. Every shift starts with the same status, and the device can be reset automatically after use.
- Restrict devices to the apps that are needed
- Every shift starts with the same device state
- Automatically reset the device when the project ends
LOSS & THEFT
Handle loss, theft and damage in the field
Devices get lost faster on construction sites than in the office. Missing smartphones can be locked, located or wiped immediately – corporate data stays protected, and the replacement is quickly ready for use.
- Lock, locate or wipe devices remotely
- Define screen lock and data protection settings on all devices
- Add a replacement device with the same configuration
LINE-OF-BUSINESS APPS
Centrally distribute construction and trade apps
Trade software, time tracking, measurement and documentation apps, plans and data sheets are delivered automatically to the right device – even where network coverage is weak.
- Distribute apps and updates without employees having to install anything themselves
- Make plans and documents available offline
- Centrally define app permissions and settings
DATA PROTECTION
Use personal smartphones for work – in line with data protection requirements
In many companies, work tasks run on personal smartphones. With a separate work area, corporate data stays protected and personal content remains invisible to the company.
- Separate work area on the personal smartphone
- No access to personal content or locations
- When an employee leaves, delete only the work area
