App Management

Scale Seamlessly

Deliver apps with unmatched agility, flexibility, and precision

Precisely defining when and where app updates deploy — to which stores, which regions, at what scale, and on what timeline — is crucial to achieving key business results with your fleet. Without the ability to guarantee that the latest content is tested, approved, installed, and ready to use, inefficiencies pile up, and your operations fall behind. Esper app management makes automating these workflows approachable, scalable, and immensely powerful, ensuring your devices always work as hard as your business demands.

Esper Puts You in Control of Your Apps and Content

If you’ve ever said, “If only we could just tell the app store to…,” you already understand why owning your app management is crucial as a fleet operator. Major app storefronts lack flexibility and are designed to meet the needs and expectations of end consumers using consumer devices. They aren’t built to give businesses direct control over when and where their content is deployed. But even knowing the clear benefits, building your own application management and deployment framework is a huge and costly undertaking. That’s where Esper comes in.

When we built Esper, we understood that while not every business needs direct control of application deployment to meet key objectives, a great many do. So, instead of trying to define the “best” way to manage and deliver applications for all of our customers, we created user-friendly tools (complete with a great GUI) that enable deep customization and automation of those workflows. Managing apps and content on Esper is as simple or complex as your business needs — we’re confident our tools are industry-leading for fleets of all sizes. And we invite you to come put them to the test.

Why Manage Your Own Applications?

  • Improve time-to-results: Deliver application and content updates to the devices in your fleet exactly when they are needed. See fully scaled business results on day one.
  • Test with confidence: Test new content and apps on devices in a consistent, repeatable, reliable way. Develop your own criteria for passing new content into the larger fleet, and automate the process with Esper Pipelines.
  • Scale granular deployments: Any given retail location, device type, or region may require its own content or app version to achieve the best possible performance. With Esper, you can build groups based on custom criteria to achieve sophisticated version control and segmenting.
  • Focus on outcomes, not delivery: Esper’s powerful Pipelines and API allow you to build highly scalable app deployment workflows with automation, meaning you’ll spend less time babysitting deployments and more time focused on how they perform in the field.
  • Centralized control: Whether implemented via the Esper dashboard, a CLI, or extended into your own applications with the Esper API, your apps are managed in the environment that works best for you.

Before we implemented Esper, our technology team would be spending too much time making sure that our devices were locked down and that our devices were able to upload and install new versions of our applications. With Esper, we don't have to worry about that.

We write mobile apps that integrate with our desktop software system, and then deploy these across our client's organisation. Esper helps us to consistently configure all the devices. That way, we can guarantee what's installed on the device so we can provide the support when required.

Esper Puts You in Control of Your Apps and Content

Purpose-built devices have a job to do. From point of sale systems to digital kiosks, Android to iOS, these devices are central to modern business interactions and revenue generation. When they deviate from their intended function, operations grind to a halt, causing customer frustration and lost revenue.

Don’t let an unsophisticated kiosk feature bring down your business. Esper’s hardened kiosk mode can’t be bypassed, offering robust protection for valuable hardware assets while ensuring every device in your fleet is always doing what it’s supposed to.

Major app storefronts lack flexibility and are designed to meet the needs and expectations of end consumers using consumer devices.

Why Manage Your Own Applications?

Put simply, consumer app storefronts were never designed for the needs of organizations and enterprises that deliver dedicated-purpose applications to devices like kiosks, inventory management handhelds, or point-of-sale systems. But Esper is.

As a service provider, we value Esper’s ability to manage everything at the device level or group level (department/customer) and stagger updates to ensure that devices don’t go down during critical hours, remote debugging, and hardware validation.

What surprised me about Esper was the ease of use and deployment to our devices bundled with the amount of features that it offers. It is a complete package that allows me to take control of the devices within our company to remote manage without the need to have the device in my hands.

We use Esper to provide new Versions of our Android apps to Android tablets. Before using Esper, we had to upload the app to every single device ourselves. With Esper, we assign the new Version to the existing group, and the app is delivered to the tablets within 5 minutes.
