When a handheld terminal goes down and a pallet gets stuck on the loading dock, it doesn’t just delay one shipment—it disrupts the entire supply chain. The Road Ahead 2024 reports up to 16 hours of mobile device downtime each month for frontline transportation and logistics workers. This lost time leads directly to missed deliveries, rising operational costs and increased customer dissatisfaction.
To address these challenges, UROVO and SOTI have partnered to deliver an integrated solution that combines UROVO’s smart battery technology with the advanced diagnostic intelligence and mobile-first support capabilities of SOTI MobiControl XS. Together, these solutions help logistics teams reduce downtime, optimize performance and maintain complete operational visibility.
Battery Intelligence That Keeps You on the Move
From warehouse forklifts to last-mile delivery drivers, Android devices play a critical role in scanning, dispatch and proof-of-delivery tasks. However, rugged devices can shut down unexpectedly when batteries are compromised by fast charging, aging or extreme environmental conditions.
UROVO’s smart batteries address this challenge proactively by transmitting real-time battery data directly to SOTI MobiControl XS, including capacity, temperature, charge cycles and serial numbers. Leverage intuitive, customizable dashboards to quickly assess battery status, identify those approaching failure and schedule timely replacements. The result? Fewer surprises and idle trucks.
End-to-End Remote Support: Beyond the Battery
Beyond battery monitoring, other issues can also impact productivity, such as app crashes, misread barcodes or accidental changes to device settings. To address these scenarios, SOTI MobiControl XS offers Remote Control, which enables IT teams to act immediately. See exactly what the driver sees, annotate the screen to provide real-time guidance, capture diagnostic logs with a single tap and push fixes remotely over Wi-Fi or cellular networks.
SOTI MobiControl XS provides a comprehensive device lifecycle management system, from initial device staging and policy-based OS updates to geofence-triggered configurations and full compliance reporting.
Instant Impact: What Fleet Managers Gain from Day One
Enrolling UROVO devices into SOTI MobiControl XS isn’t just fast – it’s transformative. With robust battery analytics and remote support already in place, implementing this solution is quick and efficient. Most fleets can complete the rollout in an afternoon without the need for device downtime.
The immediate insight empowers teams to:
-
Avoid unexpected breakdowns by identifying batteries nearing end-of-life and scheduling replacements before they cause delays.
-
Keep drivers focused by minimizing interruptions from device issues, misconfigurations or app crashes.
-
Respond faster with remote support tools that let IT teams fix problems without pulling devices out of service.
-
Identify usage trends with analytics to adjust workloads or policies, optimize operations and support better long-term performance.
Built for Security, Sustainability and ROI
Security is critical in logistics, where every device holds sensitive operational data. With SOTI MobiControl XS, fleet managers can instantly strengthen protection by enforcing password policies, remotely wiping lost or stolen devices and monitoring for malware to quarantine threats before they spread. This proactive approach helps prevent data breaches, ensures compliance and keeps operations running securely across all devices and locations.
Proactive battery management further contributes to sustainability by extending battery lifespan, reducing electronic waste and minimizing the need for spare or backup devices. The impact is clear: lower battery replacement costs, fewer missed deliveries and improved accuracy in Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) reporting.
And when it comes to ROI, the numbers speak for themselves. By combining UROVO’s smart batteries with the real-time intelligence of SOTI MobiControl XS, logistics teams save time and money across the board.
