Forecasting Hardware Health with VisibilityIQ Foresight

You need insights. Insights are used to gauge the health of a company and pinpoint opportunities to grow to meet the ever-changing market demand. The kind of insight you may not know you need is different though—it’s the insight on your hardware, which directly correlates with the efficiency of your business. 

Zebra's VisibilityIQ Foresight is the all-inclusive solution that displays a full panel view of the health of all your mobile devices including printers, mobile computers, and scanners. It’s like X-Ray vision into all your hardware devices through one platform. With this visibility service, you can now:

• Have a customizable view of operational reports you need
• View device inventory, utilization, location, and performance
• Access critical data on battery statistics and levels to prevent downtime 
• Keep teams connected with threshold notifications 
• Track device repair cases and status 

Losing, misplacing, or having a device (or hundreds of them) break could cost you and stunt productivity. Studies show that up to 15% of devices are lost in the industry on average, with that number multiplying in larger fleets. The reality is many companies are tasked with managing hundreds to thousands of mobile devices, printers, and scanners simultaneously and can suffer inefficiency if one of these devices suffers an infraction. That’s a costly ordeal resulting in unexpected costs and increased downtime. 

Considering this, it comes as no surprise that businesses pour a lot of money into their necessary hardware. To know how well they are functioning and when to replace them, it is essential to ensure protection for those devices with a system in place that closely monitors them. The prescriptive analytics comprised of historical trends and analytics help managers plan ahead of time to avoid mismanagement and easily predict when an upgrade is due. 

• Optimize device availability and uptime—predictive analytics helps you proactively address potential issues before they can impact your business. 
• Leverage one easy-to-manage view—combine data from unique sources such as contracts and case management systems. Data will be easy to comprehend, color-coded, and will illustrate any actionable insights. 
• Go beyond MDM tools—process data points from millions of devices and keep track of historical trends to run your business more smoothly. 

If you have an MDM system already in place, VisibilityIQ works as a complement, integrating with your system to extract data and provide actionable insights that your current system isn’t versed in. Streamline your device management and always know the ins and outs of the condition of your hardware and its power capacity.
