MokiMobility's latest app readies for rise of mPOS

August 5, 2013

MokiMobility announced recently the launch of what the company calls "the industry's first purposed device-management mobile application for the iPhone."

The MokiManage Mobile is an iPhone application for managing tablets and smartphones as purposed devices under MokiMobility's existing MokiManage solution.

The app allows retailers, hotel managers and IT staff to manage iOS and Android devices — as well as tablet and mobile kiosks, mPOS and digital signage — from anywhere via personal or company-issued iPhones.

Additional key features of MokiManage Mobile include:

• search capabilities for devices by filters or tags;
• insight into the current connectivity status of individual devices;
• management of installed apps and profiles in bulk or on individual devices;
• ability to perform common actions such as app lock, refresh and factory reset; and
• real-time look into the secure state of bulk or individual devices.

The company said in the news release that applications such as MokiManage Mobile will be critical to the success of the mPOS market as the industry progresses toward increased adoption of purposed devices, particularly within retail and hospitality.

"Given the importance of securing and monitoring mission-critical deployments, we wanted to provide administrators the right tool to be able to respond immediately to issues with their devices," said Ty Allen, VP of Business Development at MokiMobility. "Our mobile app offers administrators the ability to manage and configure devices right from their iPhone. Now administrators can reconfigure a device quickly— from digital signage to an mPOS device — with a few taps. It's pretty game changing for retailers and hotel chains."
