Case Study: Acosta achieves secure, business‑critical mobile content access and streamlined device management with SOTI MobiControl

Mobility is Business Critical for Retail Marketing and Sales Company

Acosta, a North American retail sales and marketing company with over 37,000 employees and more than half its field staff working in stores, relies on mobility to run core operations like its North American Retail System (NARS), which schedules and dispatches 15,000 merchandisers daily. The company manages a large content repository—over 100,000 files in 20,000+ directories—that merchandisers must securely access by location, role or team from some 17,000 Samsung Android devices, creating critical needs for secure access, AD-based permissions, and device lockdown to optimize the user app experience.

In 2015 Acosta standardized on SOTI MobiControl (including SOTI hub) to provide LDAP/Active Directory integration, secure content management, app lockdown, remote support, training capture and asset control. The solution gives 14,000+ mobile workers fast, permissioned access to the right documents multiple times daily while minimizing data use, improving productivity and making mobility a reliable, future-ready part of Acosta’s business.
