Inside this food manufacturing company’s production facilities, mobility had quietly become part of the operational backbone. Across the production floor, 3,200 mobile devices enabled quality inspections, compliance documentation, equipment monitoring, and coordination between shift teams.
Over time, however, the systems used to track those devices failed to keep up with how they were actually being used. Devices moved between teams and users, lines stayed active after roles changed, and the information stored internally often differed from what appeared in the carrier portal.
These inconsistencies began creating confusion around device ownership, active services, and carrier billing. With mobility directly tied to quality checks and production workflows, the company recognized that these gaps could no longer be managed through existing processes and started looking for a more reliable way to govern its mobile environment.
The Challenge: The Breaking Point Between Operations and Visibility
Before partnering with GoExceed, the company’s mobility environment had evolved organically as production operations expanded.
Mobility information was distributed across several platforms and internal records, each capturing only part of the environment. Without a centralized view, IT teams had to piece together device status, usage, and billing details from multiple sources — including the carrier portal, MDM, and internal spreadsheets. As discrepancies grew, routine tasks began requiring time-consuming manual coordination.
To better understand the situation, GoExceed performed an initial mobility data analysis across carrier billing, device inventories, and usage patterns, uncovering issues that were not immediately visible:
