In the evolving landscape of workplace technology, mobile device deployments have exploded to bring increased productivity to the workforce. iPhones and iPads have been the go-to mobile devices for many enterprises because of their reliability and deep-rooted security. While MDM (mobile device management) software like Jamf helps with the deployment and configuration of these devices, there is still one consistent struggle–human nature.
As humans, we misplace things–our wallets, our keys, and you guessed it, our mobile devices. This is no small problem for employers. In fact, Navv is finding companies are losing between 10 and 17% of their mobile devices each year. At first glance, this may seem small or companies may feel this is just the cost of doing business but there's real money and time to be saved by addressing this issue.
Consider all the ways device loss costs your organization:
• Lost time searching for and reporting lost devices
• Loss in productivity when devices are not available
• Cost to physically replace lost devices
• Time spent procuring and deploying new devices

In 2010 Apple announced Find My iPhone to help consumers locate their missing mobile devices. Consumers could simply download the Find My iPhone app from the app store, log in with their Apple ID, and see all their mobile devices on a map. Fast forward to 2024–this app has now updated its name to Find My and has become a built-in feature on all Apple devices.
While Find My allows power users to track up to thirty-two items, there are no options for enterprises to track their large fleet of iOS devices. Like consumers, organizations need a way to track device location to reduce loss and wasted time.
NavvTrack brings live location to enterprise mobile device management strategies. You could think of it as "Find My" for the enterprise. For organizations with deployments of hundreds to thousands of iOS devices, the ability to monitor and manage a large fleet of devices from a single dashboard can drastically reduce the time spent on routine tasks.
NavvTrack’s real-time location tracking allows for quick recovery of lost devices, ensuring that employees can continue their work without unnecessary interruptions. Additionally, by reducing the incidence of lost devices, organizations can save on replacement costs and reduce downtime, leading to a more productive workforce.
With NavvTrack, enterprises can establish virtual boundaries, called a geofence, around critical areas of their operations. When a device leaves the designated location, the system can automatically trigger alerts, lock the device, or enable Lost Mode to secure any sensitive data on the device. This proactive approach to device security is particularly vital in sectors like healthcare, where the loss of a device could lead to a significant breach of patient data.
The integration of real-time location tracking into your enterprise mobile device management strategy is not just a step forward—it’s a necessary evolution in managing and securing your mobile fleet. NavvTrack offers a solution that complements your MDM software, providing you with the tools needed to protect your devices and maintain operational efficiency.
