Case Study: NMR Staging and Events achieves a 50% reduction in annual device loss with Absolute Software

NMR Staging and Events cuts computer loss in half

NMR Staging and Events, a national audiovisual rental provider that sends as many as 1,000 laptops to events across the U.S., struggled to track devices between barcode scans and was losing about 30 laptops a year (each worth $1,200–$2,500). The lack of in-transit visibility made it slow and difficult to detect and respond to theft, creating mounting hardware losses.

NMR deployed Absolute’s geolocation and tracking, combining GPS/Wi‑Fi location data with an investigations team that helps identify unauthorized users and works with police to recover stolen units. The solution enabled proactive intervention, cut annual device losses by 50%, paid for itself within the first year, and now saves the company tens of thousands of dollars annually while serving as a theft deterrent.
