Case Study: Large U.S. Industrial Distributor streamlines nationwide iPad deployment with SHI International Corp.

SHI Integration Center Hammers Out Complex Mobility Rollout for Tool Distributor

SHI International Corp. helped a large U.S. industrial distributor roll out 1,000 Apple iPad mini 2 devices to support an internal inventory application across 2,600 branches. The customer needed a faster, more coordinated way to image, configure, and deploy the devices for its 1,900 employees.

SHI International Corp. used its Integration Center and Mobility Solutions Team to handle configuration, kitting, Apple ID creation, asset tagging, OS updates, app loading, carrier activation, and shipping. By bundling services through Apple Financial Services leasing and leveraging existing MDM and warranty programs, SHI saved the customer millions in hard and soft costs, simplified management, and sped up implementation and deployment.
