Case Study: May Gurney achieves 88% faster device deployment and major cost savings with SOTI MobiControl

Maintaining the UK public utility infrastructure, with SOTI’s EMM solution, MobiControl

May Gurney, a UK infrastructure support company that maintains highways, utilities and public facilities, faced rising costs and operational delays from managing a large, dispersed mobile field-force using Motorola MC75 devices over mixed networks. Key challenges included slow, manual device deployment (up to 4 hours per unit), lack of centralized control and asset tracking, and lengthy device downtime when units needed troubleshooting.

Implementing SOTI MobiControl delivered rapid installation, automated provisioning, GPS-based tracking and instantaneous remote support, giving full visibility and centralized management of all devices. The result: an 88% reduction in device provisioning time (from 4 hours to 30 minutes), thousands of pounds saved in deployment costs, reduced downtime by turning week‑long returns into minutes of remote fixes, and an expanded fleet (an additional 150 devices deployed) with scope to grow further.
