How is Clover IQ MDM different from Microsoft Intune?

Intune is software. Clover IQ MDM is a service. With Intune, your IT team sets up enrollment, writes the policies, pushes the apps and chases the problems, and it is designed mainly around office laptops and phones tied to Microsoft 365 users. With Clover IQ, our team does that work for you, and it is built for rugged, shared and intrinsically safe devices used in the field. Your supervisors get a simple view of every device by site, with real-time location on a map, alerts for dead batteries and offline devices, and one team handles your devices, network and support. If you already use Intune for office devices, keep it. We look after the field fleet.

What is managed mobile device management?

Mobile device management (MDM) is how a company enrolls, configures, secures and monitors its phones and tablets. With managed MDM, Clover IQ runs it for you: we enroll devices, set policies, push apps and updates, and watch fleet health, so your team doesn’t need its own MDM specialist.

Can you manage intrinsically safe devices for hazardous areas?

Yes. We manage rugged and intrinsically safe phones and tablets used on oil and gas, chemical, utility and construction sites. Devices are enrolled and configured before they reach the field, and battery, compliance and offline alerts help catch problems before a shift.

Do we need IT staff to run this?

No. Clover IQ handles enrollment, policies, apps and configuration. Your team sees fleet status and can handle simple actions, like rebooting or locating a device, without learning a device management tool.

What happens when a device is lost or stolen?

An authorized admin can lock the device or put it in Lost Mode right away. If it needs to be wiped, our team handles that through a support request, so nothing is erased by mistake.

Do you offer real-time device location?

Yes. Real-time location shows where every device is on a map, and you can locate any device on demand or get an alert when one leaves a site. You stay in control: location is turned on only when you ask for it, only the roles you choose can see it, and every action is logged with who did it and when.

It’s a subscription based on how many devices you have, and you can adjust it as your fleet changes. Talk to our team for a quote.

Is MDM included with Clover IQ device rental?

Yes. Rental fleets come with device management built in. Managed MDM is for devices you already own or buy, so owned and rented devices can be looked after the same way.

Mobile Device Management for Rugged Field Fleets

The problem

Unmanaged devices cost you shifts.

A device dies mid-shift, and the crew waits while someone hunts for a spare

Nobody can say where every device is, or which ones are offline

A lost device or a missed security update leaves company data exposed

Setting up devices by hand eats hours from people who have other jobs

What we handle

We run the fleet. Your team does the work.

Setup and rollout

Devices enrolled, configured and loaded with the right apps, organized by site.

Security and compliance

Passcode, encryption and patch policies enforced, with any devices out of policy flagged.

Early warnings

Alerts for offline devices, weak batteries and low storage, before they stop a shift.

Real-time location

See where every device is in real time on a map. Lock a missing one or put it in Lost Mode before it becomes a data risk.

App and update control

Apps and settings pushed to every device, with failed installs caught and fixed.

Clear reporting

Fleet health, compliance and battery replacement reports you can share with leadership.

How we do it

Scan it. Set it. See it. Fix it.

Step 01

Scan a QR code

Each new device scans one QR code on its setup screen and enrolls itself. No setting up by hand, even for a full crate of devices.

Step 02

Ready for the job

Wi-Fi, apps, security policies and site settings install automatically, so the device reaches the crew ready to work.

Step 03

See it in real time

Every device shows up by site with its battery, signal and last check-in, and real-time location shows exactly where each one is on a map.

Step 04

Fix it before the shift

Alerts flag offline devices, failing batteries and devices out of policy. We fix it, or a supervisor can reboot, locate or lock it right away.
