Enhanced Security in Retail with BizMobile Go!

In an era where technology plays a pivotal role in daily operations, IoT-EX Inc. has launched a groundbreaking solution tailored for the retail and food service sectors. Their new product, 'BizMobile Go! for Shop', specifically tackles various security and operational challenges faced by these industries. The increasing presence of tablets and smartphones for POS transactions, mobile ordering, and inventory management has brought about concerns regarding unauthorized device removal, immature misuse, hidden overtime work, and the potential for device misplacement within the store. This innovative package utilizes patented geofencing technology to automatically enforce restrictions and enhance security features.

Features of BizMobile Go! for Shop

Unlike traditional device management systems that apply uniform restrictions, this package offers dynamic controls that prioritize both operational flexibility and enhanced security. Here are five key functionalities:

1. Automatic Lock for Unauthorized Removal

The system instantly detects when devices such as POS or self-order kiosks cross a pre-set geofencing boundary. In such cases, it automatically activates kiosk mode, effectively locking the screen. This means that, in situations such as theft or misplacement, access to sensitive sales and customer data is immediately restricted, preventing unauthorized use and resale.

2. Preventing Byte Terror with Camera Restrictions

The solution automatically disables the camera function on devices brought into the store, including personal smartphones. This feature is crucial in preventing inappropriate video postings on social media and the leakage of confidential information. There are plans to include a function that regularly deletes data from loaned devices to enhance data protection further.

3. Instant Device Inventory via Messaging

Using the dedicated 'BizGo! Message' application, managers can push out surveys to devices, allowing for quick inventory checks across multiple store locations. The feedback can be exported as CSV files, thus enabling swift, consolidated tracking of which employee uses which device at any location.

4. Quick Device Retrieval with Forced Beep Function

In case of misplaced devices in the store or back office, even if set to silent mode, an admin can activate a forced beep. Listening out for the sound allows quick retrieval, minimizing downtime and disruption in operations.

5. Consistent OS and App Version Control

To mitigate risks stemming from software discrepancies, the system provides visibility into the OS and application versions across all deployed devices. This feature assists in issuing update notifications and reminders, ensuring every device operates on the latest and safest software.

Cloud-based MDM Service Pricing

IoT-EX offers a flexible pricing plan based on usage that fits various store sizes and operational challenges. Starting with a minimum of ten devices, the standard monthly service fee is 300 yen per device, with no upfront costs. Optional features are available at an additional 100 yen each month.
