Enriching Supply Chain Efficiency with Enterprise Mobility

In recent years, the impact of smartphones and tablets on the way businesses operate has intensified tremendously. Evidently, enterprises that have placed their wager on the mobile revolution, run the risk of lost productivity due to underperforming devices or are severely concerned about security breaches when employees and their devices are in the field. This predicament increases manifold when the measurability as well as attendant visibility become inefficacious on devices that are on networks over which an enterprise has no control. Even the most comprehensive, restrictive policies and extensive monitoring fall short when it comes to understanding and identifying potential adverse events from a lack of visibility into devices used on public Wi-Fi or carrier networks. To sum it up, once mobile devices venture beyond the protective domain of corporate firewalls, visibility into what those devices are doing or whether they are even connected at all is completely cut off. In fact, research has it that a majority of businesses (63 percent) cannot or are unsure if they could monitor devices beyond the company firewall.

For the supply chain and warehousing sector, this visibility gap leads to real vulnerability. Nevertheless, warehousing and logistics firms are inclined to adopt Android-based mobility solutions that can maximize performance, curb operating costs and improve the user experience while increasing agility and speed. As such, to achieve a higher degree of control over how devices are used and to track the use and adoption of mobile apps within an organization, warehousing and logistics firms are turning to a number of solutions that can provide greater mobile device and network visibility. Drawing on its extensive experience of three decades, Utah-based Ivanti is helping IT professionals fix their security issues and optimize user experience while ensuring that supply chains and warehouse teams have the most up-to-date technology to perform their essential functions. As the modern-day supply chain continues to become increasingly competitive, Ivanti is making significant investments in the Android-powered supply chain to keep workers connected, effective, and operating at peak productivity.

Recently, Ivanti Supply Chain announced the introduction of Ivanti Avalanche 6.3, powered by Wavelink, which is designed to enhance supply chain mobility and meet the increasing demands of supply chain enterprises migrating to Android. As a cutting-edge Mobile Device Management (MDM) solution that delivers powerful scalability and security enhancements, Avalanche 6.3 comes with Android Enterprise support, including security and management features that separate work content and applications from personal data. To empower users with enhanced device restrictions, Avalanche 6.3 necessitates entering a passcode for accessing corporate content, which is independent from the device-unlock passcode. Additionally, administrators can remotely lock and wipe corporate content using the latest Avalanche version, without altering any unmanaged device setting, files or folders. With its asset management capabilities, Avalanche 6.3 enables administrators to revoke licenses from devices that no longer require access. Organizations can also set application parameters for users to thwart security risks.

Avalanche 6.3 also comes with other comprehensive features that include the ability to push software applications to enrolled devices without interrupting workers or requiring user intervention. They further facilitate easier configuration of the internet gateway by allowing organizations to set the APN on Android devices and manage the types of services workers can access from the device. Avalanche 6.3 also comprises support for devices on Google Firebase Cloud Messaging, NAT networks, bug fixes, and more.
