SOTI & Android – Ready to Power Your Future With Lowry

Do you know about the new software that allows easy Android Deployment, guarantees security and privacy, AND manages both apps and content? Lowry would like to introduce SOTI MobiControl, a validated Zebra Solution.

The unique feature upgrades within Android administration delivered by SOTI’s own Android Plus technology, including support for RFID technology, complement the platform’s core functionality. As a comprehensive Mobile Device Management (MDM) solution, Android Plus supports both the new Android Enterprise framework and the traditional Device Admin framework, providing all-inclusive management for the Android operating system. Over time, Android Plus has evolved into a powerful combination of Android Enterprise, OEM-specific features, RFID technology, and SOTI’s proprietary innovations, enabling organizations to efficiently manage and secure their Android devices.

Taking Enterprise to a New Level

With Android Enterprise, enterprise IT can manage Android devices from all manufacturers with greater consistency.  Lowry will show you how you can provide enhanced support for Android devices of all deployment types when used in conjunction with SOTI MobiControl, including:

• Completely manage devices
• Devices managed just for work
• Specialized equipment
• Personal computing tools

Security and Management Paired Seamlessly

Having Lowry deploy SOTI ensures your Android devices operate with the highest level of security. Just establish device integrity prior to enrollment using SafetyNet Attestation, and you’ll receive immediate alerts if the device is compromised. In addition, it allows you to enforce strong passwords and data encryption, manage certificates, and prevent data leakage from corporate apps. Still worried about security?  No worries, because once Lowry deploys SOTI, it can automatically scan for viruses/malware with antivirus powered by Bitdefender. Other ways to make your job easier?  Use the features that allow limiting devices to a single app or suite of apps using kiosk mode/lockdown, as well as creating work profiles to keep personal and corporate apps, accounts, and other data separate.

Note again that security does not come at the cost of ease of use. With SOTI, you can securely deploy enterprise apps using a private app catalog and keep business and personal apps separate, with the curated enterprise app store on Google Play. Great features don’t stop there – you can also control access to and modify corporate files and documents with the secure content editor SOTI Hub. Plus, Lowry will show you how to make sure only authorized users have access by enforcing web access regulations using the secure browser SOTI Surf.

SOTI is Zebra Solution Validated

SOTI MobiControl is Zebra Solution Validated.  Why is this important?  It assures that the Zebra equipment you get from Lowry works as it should in conjunction with SOTI.  With Zebra Solution Validation, customers get total peace of mind knowing that:

• SOTI MobiControl will work alongside their Zebra deployments
• There’s no risk of disruption to business-critical workflows

Maximizing Enterprise Mobility with Centralized Device Management

Deploying Android devices across an enterprise is only the beginning. As organizations grow, managing hundreds or even thousands of mobile devices becomes increasingly complex. Maintaining security, keeping software current, and ensuring devices remain available for frontline employees all require a centralized management strategy.

When combined with Lowry Solutions’ enterprise mobility expertise, SOTI MobiControl provides organizations with the tools to simplify device administration throughout the entire lifecycle—from initial deployment to retirement.

Supporting Every Stage of the Device Lifecycle

Enterprise mobility extends far beyond device provisioning. IT teams must continuously monitor performance, apply updates, replace aging hardware, and ensure devices remain compliant with company policies.

A centralized management platform helps streamline every stage of this process.

Managing the entire lifecycle through a single platform reduces administrative effort while improving the overall user experience.

Enable Greater Workforce Productivity

Mobile devices have become essential tools for warehouse associates, manufacturing operators, field technicians, healthcare professionals, and logistics personnel. These employees rely on immediate access to applications and business data to complete critical tasks.

With properly managed Android devices, organizations can support workflows such as:

• Barcode scanning and inventory verification
• RFID-based asset tracking
• Shipping and receiving operations
• Digital inspections
• Field service documentation
• Electronic proof of delivery
• Asset maintenance reporting

Because applications, security settings, and updates can be distributed remotely, employees spend less time waiting for IT support and more time completing productive work.

Improve Operational Visibility Across Locations

Organizations operating multiple warehouses, manufacturing plants, retail stores, or field offices often struggle to maintain consistent device management practices.

Centralized mobility management enables administrators to monitor devices regardless of location. IT teams can quickly identify offline devices, require updates, or are experiencing performance issues.

This visibility supports:

• Standardized device policies
• Consistent software versions
• Improved compliance
• Faster troubleshooting
• Reduced operational disruptions

Managing devices through a centralized platform also simplifies expansion as new facilities or employees are added.

Integrate Mobile Devices with Enterprise Technologies

Enterprise Android devices often serve as the primary interface between employees and business systems. Rather than functioning independently, they become part of a connected operational ecosystem.

Lowry Solutions helps organizations integrate mobile devices with technologies including:

• RFID readers
• Barcode scanners
• Industrial printers
• Asset tracking platforms
• Warehouse Management Systems (WMS)
• Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software
• Internet of Things (IoT) devices

These integrations enable real-time data collection that supports inventory accuracy, asset visibility, production tracking, and workflow automation.

Reduce Downtime Through Proactive Device Management

Unexpected device failures can interrupt warehouse operations, delay shipments, and reduce employee productivity.

Centralized monitoring allows IT teams to identify potential problems before they become operational issues. Battery health, storage capacity, application performance, and connectivity can all be monitored remotely.

By proactively addressing these issues, organizations can:

• Reduce unexpected device failures
• Extend device lifespan
• Improve workforce productivity
• Minimize service interruptions
• Lower overall support costs

This proactive approach helps ensure mobile technology continues supporting business operations without unnecessary downtime.

Prepare for Future Technology Adoption

Enterprise mobility keeps evolving with a mix of automation, IoT & RFID, and AI-based workflows across the organization. Deciding on a flexible device management solution today frees up future technology initiatives and allows for evolution of existing infrastructure without replacement.

Whether it is supporting new device types or deploying additional applications, scalable mobility helps businesses succeed at adding more devices and services while exerting control over a growing fleet.

Centralized management allows you the freedom to manage and adapt more efficiently to shifting business requirements, whether it is for rugged handheld computers, industrial tablets, wearable devices, or mobile printers.
