If your enterprise operates mobile devices in Quebec and those devices boot into English by default, display English-only MDM enrollment screens, or route support calls to an English-only service desk, you are already exposed to Bill 96 non-compliance. This isn’t a signage law that stops at the front door—it reaches every screen, notification, and support […]
Read moreFor most Canadian T&L operations running 500+ rugged devices across multiple depots and provinces, the question is not whether to outsource managed mobility—it is which lifecycle stages to transfer first.

Read moreDaaS shifts your mobile technology spend from a capital expense (CapEx) to a predictable operational expense (OpEx). Instead of large upfront purchases for hardware, you pay a consistent monthly fee per device which includes the hardware, software, and managed lifecycle services, improving cash flow visibility.
Our DaaS program includes planned technology refresh cycles. We proactively manage the lifecycle of your fleet, ensuring you always have access to modern, secure hardware without the hassle of managing upgrades or disposing of obsolete equipment (which we handle securely).
The monthly subscription covers comprehensive support, including a Canadian-based help desk, remote device troubleshooting via MDM, and our "Spare-in-the-Air" replacement program to minimize downtime for your field workers.
Yes. We partner with leading manufacturers like Zebra, Honeywell, and Samsung. We assess your specific workflow requirements to recommend the exact form factor (handheld, tablet, wearable) that suits your operations.
Absolutely. DaaS offers the flexibility to scale your fleet based on seasonal demand or business growth. You can add devices during peak periods and return them when demand normalizes, paying only for what you use.
