Case Study: Toronto District Christian High School achieves 100% recovery of lost MacBooks with Prey

Toronto District Christian High School - Customer Case Study

Toronto District Christian High School (TDChristian) faced a challenge when it transitioned its student device fleet to MacBooks. A security restriction in Apple School Manager disabled the "Find My" location feature on student accounts, making it impossible for the school's small IT team to locate the many MacBooks that were frequently misplaced. They needed a dedicated tracking solution that could integrate with their unique environment.

The school implemented Prey's tracking software, which was customized to exclude features like camera access to meet strict student privacy requirements. Prey provided precise geographic locating, often pinpointing a device to a specific room in the school's complex building. This solution led to a 100% recovery rate for all misplaced devices over two years, with incidents typically resolved within an hour, saving time and reducing stress for students and staff.
