Case Study: Southern Star achieves 100% efficiency & productivity gains and 50% device‑management cost savings with 42Gears UEM

42Gears Helps Southern Star Mobilize Its Field Workforce

Southern Star, the largest regional service provider for a major direct‑broadcast satellite company across Oklahoma, Arkansas, Texas, Louisiana and New Mexico, runs an extensive field workforce equipped with Android smartphones, tablets and rugged devices (600 licenses). They faced slow manual device deployment, time‑consuming app and settings updates, difficulty tracking widely dispersed assets, and costly remote troubleshooting — challenges they addressed with 42Gears’ UEM solution.

42Gears UEM provided rapid device enrollment and provisioning, remote app deployment and configuration, GPS asset tracking, remote lock and support, and centralized console management, letting Southern Star manage all devices without relying on end users. As a result, Southern Star reported a 100% increase in business efficiency, a 100% productivity gain, and a 50% reduction in device management and deployment costs after implementing 42Gears.
