Mobile devices drive productivity, efficiency and service, which means every lost or misplaced device is a liability. Whether it’s a forgotten tablet or a missing scanner, lost and stolen devices cost organizations an estimated $8.6 billion (USD) annually in disrupted workflows, delayed shipments and impacted revenue.
What if you had complete visibility over every device—knowing exactly where it is, what it’s doing and how it’s being used?
SOTI MobiControl XS, a solution powered by SOTI MobiControl and SOTI XSight, makes that possible. With a built-in, real-time location tracking system, this modern Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM) solution helps organizations streamline mobile operations, improve compliance and reduce risks like never before.
Why Are Location-Based Features Important?
You can’t protect what you can’t see. Real-time location tracking features, such as geolocation, geofencing and historical tracking, give businesses complete visibility into every mobile device no matter where it is or how it’s being used.
This level of insight strengthens security through context-aware policies, ensures regulatory compliance, and helps prevent loss or misuse. For IT teams, it means faster troubleshooting, smarter device allocation and more personalized support for frontline workers.
What Location-Based Features Does SOTI MobiControl XS Offer?
Locate
Request the most recent GPS data from SOTI MobiControl to identify a device’s location. Doing this will also subsequently update its position on the map, ensuring the most accurate information is displayed.
History
Gain insights into where a device has been, how long it stayed and how it moved over time. Use this data to optimize routes, streamline operations and make smarter decisions to get products or employees from point A to point B.
Geofencing
Not only can you track the physical location of your devices in the field, but you can also control what they can or cannot do based on where they are. Define a custom polygonal boundary with rules that trigger a response when a device enters or exits the area.
For example, a geofence-enabled device can protect business-critical information by permitting access when it’s inside the geofence and restricting access when it leaves by automatically initiating a lockdown.
Live View & Indoor Location
SOTI XSight Live View and Indoor Location* bring real-time visibility to your entire fleet— whether indoors or in the field. Visualize operations, customize tracking and troubleshoot issues on the spot. You can even access historical data to identify trends and resolve inefficiencies.
With the addition of three new tracking methods—Automatic, Spot and Heat Tracking—you can now monitor and evaluate your device fleet with greater precision. Easily evaluate devices against specific parameters, like generating a heatmap of Wi-Fi signal strength over time to pinpoint weak spots. These methods enable you to track key operational parameters, quickly detect anomalies, and make informed decisions to enhance efficiency and performance.
Integrating location intelligence into your mobility strategy isn’t just a nice-to-have—it’s essential for driving efficiency, reducing risk and enabling smarter, data-driven decision-making across the entire enterprise. See how you can easily find lost devices by requesting a free trial today.
