A 42Gears Case Study
Signal 88 Security of Anchorage, Alaska, a provider of customized residential and commercial security services, faced mobile-device challenges that hurt field performance: officers were using devices for non-work purposes, cellular data usage was uncontrolled, and app crashes required reinstall passcodes that created security risks. To support its Samsung J3–equipped workforce running the 88Edge Guard Tour app, Signal 88 turned to 42Gears and its 42Gears UEM suite (including SureLock/SureMDM) to lock down devices and enforce work-only usage.
42Gears implemented device and app management, remote install/restart of the 88Edge app without sharing passcodes, remote tracking, and remote support, plus provisioning to restrict apps and settings. As a result, Signal 88 cut data bills from “a few hundred” dollars to tens of dollars, reduced device malfunctions by 40%, and increased officer productivity by 30%, while maintaining tighter security and easier device administration with 42Gears.
