Customer Success Story: How Retail Giants Achieve 30% Efficiency Gains with Enhanced Mobile Device Management

Turning Crisis into Opportunity: Technological Revolution in the Traditional Supermarket Sector

EasyControl recently partnered with a prominent, legacy chain supermarket in the United States implementing device management solutions for the 300,000 tablets, POS systems, and smartphones used by its employees.
This supermarket has long been a favorite for its fresh products, friendly service, and convenient shopping experience. However, with escalating competition in retail and the march of technological progress, the supermarket’s management team recognized they need an updated, smarter approach to managing their vast mobile device network to maintain a leading edge.

Equipped with an extensive range of mobile devices such as tablets, handheld POS systems, and smartphones for stock management, price verification, mobile checkout, and employee training, the supermarket faced several pain points as the number of devices grew

Slow and inefficient updates, leading to reduced workforce productivity.

Frequent security issues, with sensitive data at constant risk of being compromised.

Dispersed device management across stores, making centralized control and monitoring impossible.

Time and resource-intensive deployment and maintenance for various device applications.

Faced with challenges, the management team set out to find a solution—and discovered EasyControl MDM, a mobile device management solution tailored for the retail industry.
