What is Cloud MDM & How Does It Work?

  • Cloud MDM is a type of MDM solution that uses cloud computing technology to enroll, manage, and secure mobile devices remotely. Unlike on-premise MDM, Cloud MDM has its servers hosted by a third-party provider that ensures the servers are secure and have the necessary infrastructure to run smoothly.
  • Cloud MDM gives administrators a console where they can access and manage various aspects of devices from a centralized dashboard. This includes the deployment of policies, configurations, updates, or distribution of applications and other relevant content remotely to target devices. Since cloud MDM leverages cloud computing, it offers more scalability, flexibility, cost savings, and better accessibility.

What Can You Do with Cloud MDM?


  • Enroll Devices in Bulk & Automate

    Cloud MDM lets you enroll multiple devices with ease and manage them remotely from a single console. You can also automate and streamline various processes to ensure proper workflow. For example, you can push policies, notifications, and configuration settings to target devices simultaneously.


  • Remote Monitoring and Control

    Cloud MDM makes it easier to monitor and control a company’s devices remotely. You can remotely monitor the devices' data usage, set auto restart and auto factory for the devices, and lock the devices remotely from a single console.


  • Set Device Compliance

    With Cloud MD solution, you can set policies that impose restrictions on managed devices. These broad arrays of settings enhance the security of your company and its data. You can impose password management, app allow list/blocklist, device restrictions, and general settings.


  • Set Up Kiosk Mode

    You can set up kiosk mode to restrict user access to certain apps, system settings, and websites. You can also lock down your devices to reduce unnecessary usage, cut support cases, and improve device security. In Kiosk Mode, you can activate single and multi-app modes and customizable device interface for better device utilization.


  • Alerts &Workflow

    It lets you set up alerts and workflows to notify you and take designated action whenever anomalies happen on your managed devices. This helps free you from the tiresome manual monitoring especially when dealing with bulk company devices.


  • Reporting

    Cloud MDM seamlessly generates various reports about the devices you are managing. You can view the device availability, device list with detailed information, remote connection history, historical statistics, and admin and member account activity logs among others. All these reports you can generate on a single console without IT skills.


  • App Management

    This management allows automatic deployment of apps and relevant updates, monitoring of update progress and outcomes, silently installing apps by force on target devices, and creating own enterprise app library. And the management of the installation, update, and permissions of the apps ensures that employees can only use authorized applications on their devices.


  • Geofencing & Location Tracking

    Cloud MDM often comes with geofencing and location-tracking capabilities. This means you can monitor device movement, get a view of your assets, and track the location and path history of your remote enterprise devices. Additionally, you can set up geofences to trigger notifications when the target devices enter or exit the designated area.

For Different Industries Need

  • Logistic

    Logistics and Transportation faces several challenges that require MDM solutions. For instance, logistic companies may want to track driver paths, real-time and historical fleet locations, provide technical support to the driver remotely, and manage how drivers use their gadgets.With MDM solution, you can track devices' locations, restrict devices usages, and provide support for your drivers remotely.

  • Retailer

    The retail industry can immensely benefit from cloud MDM in several ways. For example, if your retail company deploys several Point of Sales (POS) devices across many store locations, managing these devices can prove expensive and inconvenient especially when the number increases. For instance, physically accessing these POS for regular app installations, updates, and troubleshooting is tiresome and resource-draining.

  • Digital Signage Management

    If you have deployed several digital signages across different locations, manually installing new advertisement updates, app updates, or customizing the interface to suit new adverts is costly and tiresome. However, MDM cloud gives you a single console to automatically push app updates, monitor the screens, and customize and customize the interface to meet your needs. Additionally, you can determine which updates should run on certain devices.
