Case Study: Vend streamlines Mac deployment and boosts device security with SimpleMDM

Vend slashes Mac provisioning time to zero with SimpleMDM

Vend, a retail software company experiencing rapid global growth, faced the challenge of managing a distributed Mac fleet with a small IT team. Their previous device deployment process was time-consuming, taking up to an hour per machine, and they needed a solution that would streamline onboarding while maintaining high security standards. They turned to the vendor SimpleMDM and its mobile device management service to find a solution.

SimpleMDM provided a solution that integrated seamlessly with Apple DEP and open-source tools like Munki, which completely eliminated the manual provisioning time for new machines. This allowed Vend to ship new MacBooks directly from Apple to remote employees, who could then turn them on and be immediately productive. The solution also enabled Vend to enforce critical security policies like FileVault encryption and passcode requirements, significantly improving their security compliance.
