Food Manufacturer Automates Workflows and Recovers 60+ Hours

How a food manufacturer running 3,200 devices across its production floor automated 80% of routine mobility workflows, gave IT back 60 hours a month, and recovered $204,000 a year.

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:

📍

Inventory blind spots

Device assignments had drifted from the records used to track them — ownership of any given device was a question rather than a lookup.

💸

Cost leakage

Inactive lines were still generating charges, and several rate plans no longer matched real usage patterns.

🔁

Manual workflows

IT pieced together device status, usage, and billing from three systems before any routine task could even start.

We couldn’t track what was active, who had it, or what we were paying.

Those symptoms signaled rising enterprise risk. Without unified visibility, efficiency stalled and mobility optimization lagged behind business growth.

The Solution: Bringing Structure and Control to a Scaled Mobility Environment

Solve(X) connected carrier data, device records, and usage activity into one centralized view, eliminating the need to validate information across multiple systems. Device status, assignments, and lifecycle updates aligned in real time.

Rather than continuing reactive troubleshooting, mobility operations became structured and governed through a single platform. Three core solutions established this foundation:

Smart Optimization

Analyzed billing and usage to identify unused lines, misaligned plans, and ongoing charges — reducing cost leakage across the entire mobile fleet.

OneSync

Automated moves, adds, changes, and disconnects, simplifying carrier workflows and significantly reducing manual effort for the IT team.

Smart Asset Management

Centralized device tracking across deployment and repair, providing real-time visibility into active and assigned devices across the production floor.

Together, these solutions introduced a more controlled and consistent approach to mobility management. What had previously required manual coordination across systems became automated and measurable.

With Solve(X) in place, mobility shifted into a structured operational model with clear visibility across the organization, supporting production needs without adding complexity or administrative burden.

The results

From Uncertainty to Operational Confidence

Once Solve(X) was deployed, structure replaced spreadsheet archaeology — and the numbers followed.

Production-floor devices with real-time visibility
  • Eliminated billing discrepancies caused by inactive lines and misaligned rate plans
  • Device ownership became a lookup, not an investigation
  • Teams see which devices are active, assigned, or available — keeping the floor running
  • Mobility shifted from an operational burden to a structured, reliable capability

Mobility is no longer guesswork. It is fully controlled and reliable.
