Case Study: Listening Books achieves secure, distraction-free audiobook access for hospital patients with Scalefusion

Scalefusion Extended Help to Listening Books Charity Organization

Listening Books is a UK charity that provides audiobooks to over 50,000 members, supporting patients in hospitals, hospices, schools and care homes with a library of 7,000+ titles. Their challenge was ensuring the Android tablets they supplied were used solely for listening to audiobooks — preventing web browsing, app downloads and other personal use — while also tracking device activity and location. To meet this need they selected Scalefusion as their MDM/kiosk solution.

Scalefusion enabled lockdown of tablets into kiosk mode, Android device and application management, and GPS-enabled location tracking via a single web dashboard, allowing easy enrollment and group management. As a result, Scalefusion delivered a distraction-free listening experience, centralized monitoring that curbed misuse, and reduced IT effort through remote device control — ensuring devices are used only for their intended audiobook purpose.
