This is how companies boost their IT efficiency with the Nordalp Manager

Tasks once handled with clipboards and pens are now performed by rugged tablets or smartphones. Whether for delivery confirmations in logistics, warehouse picking, manuals and diagnostic systems in field service, or surveying and construction work, hardly any industry can do without these versatile digital devices. These rugged devices have become symbols of efficiency, flexibility, and the digital future. Yet this picture represents only one part of the solution.

In practice, end devices are only as powerful as the system behind them.
Just as important as the rugged mobile devices themselves are the management and IT efficiency behind them. After all, these are what ensure the devices function reliably amidst the rigors of daily operations—maintaining seamless data exchange with corporate IT systems and integrating optimally into workflows. For devices in constant use across a facility or serving as indispensable tools for field staff, this presents a very practical challenge: gathering every single device just to apply an update or configuration change is labor-intensive—and simply impossible for even a mid-sized field team with a double-digit number of devices. "Experience shows this leads to further issues: some devices end up with the latest updates installed while others don't, resulting in compatibility problems." explains Helmut Feurhuber, Managing Director of Nordalp GmbH. Based in Freilassing, the company develops high-performance, rugged tablets, PDAs, and customized hardware and software solutions for the industrial market.

Centralized administration as a prerequisite for efficiency and digital security 
Nordalp has developed the Nordalp Manager, an intelligent mobile device management solution designed specifically for the remote, centralized management of rugged devices. This software is a comprehensive solution tailored to Nordalp Android devices, enabling administrators to centrally manage, monitor, and configure their company's mobile devices and deploy updates. Unlike many other providers, Nordalp makes this software—as well as its staging tools—available to customers free of charge.
Nordalp Manager allows devices to be optimally tailored to users' specific tasks—for instance, by adding or removing apps. At the same time, it provides a comprehensive toolkit for the IT management of these rugged mobile devices, enabling administrators to organize devices into groups and assign specific group configurations. The management platform also allows accounts to be shared with other users and user permissions to be adjusted. Furthermore, support—a crucial aspect of operations—is integrated into this centralized management system: administrators can view all relevant device data and resolve issues remotely, saving significant time and effort.

"Efficiency is achieved by continuously optimizing and adapting processes to meet requirements. Naturally, this includes rugged mobile devices." says Helmut Feurhuber. "With the Nordalp Manager, our customers handle this centrally and simultaneously for all mobile devices, regardless of where the devices are currently located."
