RugGear, a renowned international manufacturer of robust mobile devices, has announced a strategic partnership with Esper, the only platform for predictable software deployment and device management. The partnership is aimed at providing total device control solutions to customers in the Android rugged device market, particularly in industries such as logistics, transportation, telecom, healthcare, and mining segments.
Through the collaboration, enterprises will have the confidence to manage large fleets of devices with a focus on critical business applications, while leaving device infrastructure and management to RugGear and Esper. The partnership will also allow for the customization of RugGear mobile devices to meet the unique needs of daily work, with a focus on providing the best possible user experience.
Esper’s device management solutions, combined with RugGear’s robust devices, will empower customers with full control to remotely manage, monitor, control, lockdown, debug, and update their rugged devices with ease, giving them the confidence to scale their business. Features like zero-touch provisioning will significantly decrease device setup times, while remote monitoring and scheduled software rollouts will improve device fleet visibility, health, and security. Additionally, geofencing and device lockdown will ensure tamper-free, secure devices.
This partnership is a significant milestone for both RugGear and Esper, as it strengthens their position in the rugged device market, allowing them to provide tailor-made solutions to their customers from a single source. RugGear has been part of the Google zero-touch enrolment program since August 2019, and all top models, including RG530, RG540, RG655, RG725, and RG750, are zero-touch compatible. Customers’ IT departments can set up devices automatically with the help of the Esper device manager, making the enrolment process even more cost- and time-effective.
“We are excited to partner with RugGear to help enterprises scale the deployment and management of rugged devices in global markets. Our collaboration will enable various logistics and transportation customers to minimize downtime, accelerating their digital transformation,” said Shiv Sundar, Esper co-founder, and COO.
“With Esper, we have a competent partner on board to offer our industrial customers tailor-made solutions from a single source. We are pleased to be able to help our customers make the enrolment process even more cost- and time-effective,” said Martin Haaf, CEO RugGear GmbH.
In conclusion, the collaboration between RugGear and Esper will revolutionize the rugged device market, providing enterprises with total device control solutions, while allowing them to focus on critical business applications. With RugGear’s robust devices and Esper’s device management solutions, customers will have full control to remotely manage, monitor, control, lockdown, debug, and update their rugged devices with ease, giving them the confidence to scale their business.
