The drivers at Trend Communications, Inc. had company deployed tablets with them at all times to electronically store their log details. The logging process, which was earlier done on paper, was digitized using the digital sign-in logs equipped for the drivers who delivered on-site accommodations and equipment to their clients.

He found the Hexnode portal to be user friendly. It took minimal effort to manage the devices and make policy changes remotely. Kiosk lockdown mode from Hexnode allowed Christopher to restrict the devices to the native app. This enabled the drivers to access only the functionalities that are permitted by the organization while making all others inaccessible. Christopher could update the policy at any time to add another application or functionality, and it would quickly appear on the device end. He was delighted with the outcome. Apart from locking down the tablets, additional settings could be configured in the kiosk mode to manage and secure the tablets. The overall experience with Hexnode proved to be remarkable. Christopher found the chat support to be efficient with their quick responses whenever in need. Moreover, the support team was incredible in assisting Christopher and the waiting time was almost nil.
