How Visa Global Logistics turned their transportation department paperless

Transportation and Logistics require an immense coordination and cooperation in multiple activities across the interconnected global network. To keep pace with the competitors in the transportation and logistics industry, Visa Global Logistics decided to opt for android tablet devices for their workforce to stay connected and wanting them to work flexibly on field. Use of mobile devices helped the employees to make transactions in real time and to stay in constant touch with the company while being on the field. This gave Visa Global Logistics a technological advantage over competitors in the industry. Use of android tablets was critical in moving towards paperless operation in their transport department. All the documentation and timesheets for their field staff was replaced by apps and web delivered content.

Visa Global soon realized the need of a Mobile Device Management (MDM) solution that could help them to lock down the company-owned devices, combined with a Mobile Application Management (MAM) solution that could give them access to enable only business related apps on the device and disable all the unapproved apps on the device. They also needed a solution that could aid them to restrict the online activity of the employees and access only specific websites deemed right for their business. After evaluating all the industry’s leading vendors and keeping their requirements in mind, Visa Global Logistics adopted Scalefusion. 

Following are the key capabilities of Scalefusion which helped Visa Global Logistics to resolve their problems:

1. Scalefusion has been a cost-effective, easy to use kiosk lockdown solution for android devices. With the help of Scalefusion, Visa Global can remotely control all the devices in real time through a device management dashboard. This helped them to manage the enterprise mobility with ease.

2. Visa Global could lock down the devices in Kiosk mode allowing them to disable all the unauthorized apps on the employee devices and enable business-related apps on the device in kiosk mode. Using the Scalefusion Kiosk Browser, Visa Global can also control the internet activity on the device by whitelisting the websites using the device management dashboard. The employees can only access these whitelisted websites. This restricted the internet activity of the employees and helped them in concentrating on their work.

3. Visa Global can now easily locate and track a field staff’s device using the location tracking feature in Scalefusion.
