Fully secure devices with hardened kiosk mode
Lock devices to a specific app (or subset of apps) with kiosk mode, ensuring they’re only used for business purposes. Add, remove, and update apps on the fly across as many devices as you need to.
Debug, diagnose and fix — all remotely
Remotely access, control, and even debug systems no matter where they are — across town or across the country. With fully secure remote access, you can easily identify, diagnose, and fix problems.
Manage at scale with device groups
Device grouping makes management easy across multiple locations or use cases — from in-truck tablets to warehouse management scanners, granular device grouping lets you set custom rules and utilize management tools the way it makes sense to you.

Update when it makes sense
Devices and apps need updates to stay secure, but timing these updates to avoid disruptions can be challenging. Esper’s staged update rollout system lets you update apps and devices on your own time — even if it’s in the middle of the night. No human interaction required.

Mas Yoshida
Director, Next Gen Restaurant Technology, Taco Bell
In hospitality, Android-based in-room tablets create a meaningful connection between the guest and the hotel, giving the guest broad contactless control over their stay. Guests can order dining, make service requests, adjust room controls, and much more with a few taps of a screen. Esper enables the INTELITY platform to globally deploy and manage devices across all of a customer’s properties regardless of size. Through Esper’s DevOps platform we can do remote installation and reduce the reliance on IT support at each hotel.
Ira Dworkin
CTO, Intelity
Esper’s seamless deployment ensures that even patients who are not as comfortable with technology can successfully use our service. Device set-up is simple, there is zero configuration needed by the patients, and Esper’s full-service solution detects connectivity and sensor failures ahead of time and alerts the Spire team for proactive outreach to our patients, often before they even notice an issue.

Streamlined Device Management Tools for Retail Hardware
Esper is built for dedicated use cases, optimized for retail, and versatile by design for all your hardware needs. Start a trial today to see why our next-gen MDM platform is the best choice for retail devices.
How do large retailers manage POS systems, kiosks, and digital signage in multiple locations?
Most large retailers use some form of mobile device management (MDM) to manage all company-owned devices, including POS systems, digital signage, customer kiosks, barcode scanners, and more.
What is the advantage of mobile device management (MDM) for retailers?
Mobile device management for retailers is important because it allows all devices on the company’s network to be remotely accessed and managed.
What hardware is needed for a POS system in retail?
A POS system requires a cash drawer (if you plan on accepting cash), a credit card reader (if you plan on accepting cards), a barcode scanner, and some form of display or other device to run POS software.
Can I use a tablet as a POS system?
Yes! A tablet can work well as a standalone POS system, especially when paired with a barcode scanner, cash drawer, and credit card reader.
