Case Study: BusMinder achieves major data cost savings with Scalefusion MDM

BusMinder Saved Big on Data Usage Costs with Scalefusion MDM

BusMinder, an Australian provider of a GPS and smart‑card based student transport app, was deploying Android devices with SIM cards and its app on school buses but faced rising data costs and device misuse because several consumer apps were preinstalled. They needed a way to lock each handset to the BusMinder app only, and to reliably interface the on‑bus electronic card reader with the app across a fleet of devices — so they chose Scalefusion MDM to address these challenges.

Scalefusion implemented a kiosk (single‑app) mode, application management via its Enterprise Store, device groups/profiles, UI branding, and controls for home/status/power buttons to simplify driver operation and secure devices. As a result, Scalefusion reduced BusMinder’s data usage and blocked unwanted apps, enabled bulk enrollment and one‑click app updates, and delivered real‑time location updates to parents and teachers — improving device management, lowering costs, and preventing misuse across the fleet.
