04 · Scenarios & Delivery
For Android devices with a fixed purpose, a defined set of business apps and sites spread across locations — the five scenarios below are built from proven product combinations.
04 · Scenarios & Delivery
Each scenario maps to a validated product combination — pick the one closest to your situation as the starting point.
| Scenario | Typical challenge | What we combine |
|---|---|---|
| Retail chains | Many store devices with mismatched app versions and launcher entries; new stores configured by hand | Group by store or region: publish POS and inspection apps plus shortcuts; a new store scans and is ready |
| Warehousing & logistics | Handhelds scattered across sites; on-site upgrades and troubleshooting are slow; no downtime allowed at peak | Bulk-configure devices: deliver stock-taking and operations apps in update windows; prioritise faulty units |
| Production lines | Dedicated tablets must stay on a fixed workflow and must not be switched or side-loaded | Corporate launcher, allowed apps and device restrictions with Device Owner and single-app mode |
| Field service | Staff and devices move constantly, configuration drifts; lost or resold devices are hard to recover | Per-role configurations: device IDs and status reporting track delivery; restrictions reduce misuse |
| Training & events | Devices are handed to trainees or visitors and must be limited to a few apps with minimal distraction | Allow-listed apps, corporate launcher and restricted settings; reset the configuration after the session |
04 · Scenarios & Delivery
One real business action — issuing a batch of handhelds with the new stock-taking app — runs through the five standard delivery stages.
Upload the stock-taking APK, create a “warehouse handheld” device group, copy a configuration and add apps, launcher entries and required files. The console now holds a clear target version and target configuration.
Generate an enrollment QR code from the configuration; new devices scan at first boot, devices already in use enroll in-app. Each device receives an ID and configuration and appears in the device list.
Publish the configuration; devices sync once online. The client downloads and installs apps and refreshes the launcher; the console shows install and sync status per device.
Filter the “warehouse handheld” group and review the devices that are not finished, distinguishing unreachable networks, version mismatch, missing permissions or offline devices.
Upload the next APK, adjust the pilot configuration first, then extend to the whole fleet based on the verification result. Devices update in their windows and the console tracks the outcome, leaving a reviewable release record.
04 · Scenarios & Delivery
The five stages that carried the first batch are the same path for every later batch and every app update.
Copy an existing configuration for a similar fleet; new stores, new warehouses and new batches need no new delivery design.
Install, sync and enforcement results are visible per device, so exceptions can be traced to the individual unit.
Version, time and result form a release record — problems can be traced back and experience accumulates.
Start a pilot with 5–20 real devices, prove one real business action, then decide how far to scale.
