4 Ways Enterprise Mobility Management Will Make Everyone's Job Easier

Enterprise mobility is a hot topic. Business owners understand that mobile devices can increase staff productivity. But how do organizations effectively manage the mobile tools that enable their business to be so successful? There are a number of solutions on the market, including mobile device management (MDM) and unified endpoint management (UEM) that can make your IT department’s job a lot easier. 

However, corporate mobility affects more than just IT.  Effectively managing mobile hardware, software, and expenses is critical across departments, from human resources to accounting. This is where corporate mobility management can get complicated. Very few telecom management solutions can integrate with all cross department workflows, and implementing multiple solutions, services, and software can negatively impact productivity.

Enter Simplex Mobility, an enterprise mobility management (EMM) solution that makes your employees' jobs easier by providing the workflow integration options they need to manage corporate mobility across all departments. To give you a better insight we’ve listed four key benefits your organization can expect from integrated mobility management.

For many companies, mobility management and employee management are handled by different departments that don’t always share notes. This is where comprehensive, integrated corporate mobility management can play two key roles: 

Inventory Management

Having visibility of your fleet in one convenient location ensures you have the right hardware on hand when you hire, and can cut down on new hardware spend by ensuring that existing assets are being used before procuring more. Employee no longer with the company? Integrated corporate mobility can both help retrieve your devices by sending notification for the device to be returned.

Data Sharing

Help simplify the process of onboarding new employees by integrating directly to popular human resource systems like WorkDay or SAP to your enterprise mobility management system. New hires will get their mobile devices faster, and the advanced reporting features gives your HR department streamlined insights into your employees device usage

2. Surface Powerful Business Insights

Businesses have no shortage of data from many sources across the organization, but pulling actionable insights from the ocean of information is challenging and time consuming. Company leadership and other departments often need real time reporting in an easy to understand format to make timely decisions. Integrated enterprise mobility solutions can provide real-time data for these decision makers. This includes daily usage by employees, mobile application based key performance indicators, live service metrics, and more. 

Choose from a built in user-friendly dashboard that gives you customizable, shared, executive level reporting, or use Simplex’s API to connect to tools like Power BI or Tableau, where mobility data can be combined with other sources to help facilitate quick, informed decisions.

Enterprise mobility management has a number of expense management features that will simplify the job of managing expenses.

Manage Assets

More and more wireless carriers are providing lower rates for lines with no hardware contracts. With proper lifecycle management of equipment, businesses can budget purchasing equipment outright and take advantage of these lowered monthly costs.

Optimize Expenditures

Simplex’s reporting features can help surface cost centers fast. Employees are better able to understand their usage and department leaders are empowered to take proper action. If your data is pooled, Simplex can ensure only paying for as much as you need, removing excess cost for overages.

4. Mobile Inventory Procurement 

Typically, procurement departments are a team of specialists using multiple software and working closely together to ensure that everything runs smoothly, from contract management to risk mitigation to supplier relationship management. No matter how well-oiled the machine or how meticulous the procurement team, every company will face potentially costly and inconvenient procurement challenges. 

This is especially true for mobile hardware. Because hundreds, or potentially thousands of costly assets leave the office with your staff, there are a million ways to lose track of these devices. Without clarity into your inventory, it's easy to spend unnecessarily on new equipment. 

In addition to Simplex’s inventory management, the platform has built a procurement portal, which allows you to quickly order devices, setup approvals, track shipments and set up locations to ship devices all in one location. Order from all your mobile vendors in one portal to reduce time going back and forth between different vendor websites. Simplex seamlessly integrates directly with all major shipping companies so you can easily track devices within our system to see exactly where they are in the ordering process.
