Esper secures your POS systems

Remote control and debugging for POS systems

Esper’s remote debugging and control capabilities enable fixes over-the-air rather than by an on-site tech, lowering costs and speeding up POS deployments. 
When it’s time to update your POS systems, test deployments in batches to minimize unexpected downtime. Automate drift management for devices that fall out of compliance — and do it all remotely. 

Esper works with many POS terminals

Extend the life of your old POS terminals or partner with Esper as you scale up your new POS system fleet.
Esper can work with your existing POS systems and convert them to our Esper Foundation solution and Esper device management, extending system life and avoiding costly EOLs.

Robust infrastructure for rock solid stability

Uptime and access are paramount for potentially life-saving devices like those used in RPM. If you need to access a device, check its health, make sure it’s online, or anything else, you can’t afford to wait. That’s why Esper is always there when you need it — with 99% uptime, you’ll always have access. 24/7, 365.

Complete remote control for all your devices

When a mission-critical device like those used in RPM has issues, troubleshooting can be problematic. You could ask the user to walk through some steps, but their level of tech savviness can vary wildly, making this an exercise in frustration. There’s also the option to send a field tech out, but that’s costly and time consuming. Esper offers complete remote control, troubleshooting, debugging, log capturing, and more. It’s like the device is right in front of you, making software fixes a breeze.

Unlock the power of Android for your rugged devices

“I’m putting tablets into 80,000 pound 18 wheelers that are out on the highway. One of my biggest fears is that a driver is going to be watching videos or playing games while driving in my equipment. I needed a way to lock my device down so only company approved applications were being used. Esper gives me the control to do that."
