Streamlining Android Device Deployment with a Zero Touch Enrollment Service Portal

Overview

In the age of digital transformation, the need for efficient mobile device deployment has never been more critical. This case study explores how a large-scale enterprise modernized and automated its Android device onboarding process using Cligence’s Zero Touch Enrollment Service Portal.

Designed as an enterprise-grade Android Zero Touch setup solution, the portal enabled the client to provision thousands of devices with minimal IT effort—without physically touching a single unit. The result? Reduced deployment time, fewer support tickets, and improved operational efficiency.

About the Client

The client is a global logistics company with operations across 12 countries and a workforce of over 8,000 field employees. Their IT department manages more than 6,000 Android smartphones and tablets used for real-time tracking, digital proof of delivery, internal communication, and more.

The company needed a reliable, scalable solution to manage rapid deployment and updates across multiple geographies. Manual setup for each device was no longer sustainable as their operations expanded.

Prior to implementing Zero Touch Enrollment, the client relied on manual provisioning methods:

  • IT teams had to configure each Android device individually
  • Delays in rollout caused operational disruptions in the field
  • Devices were shipped between headquarters and branch offices multiple times before reaching end-users
  • Consistency in security settings and application installation was difficult to enforce
  • Onboarding new employees or replacing devices was slow and resource-intensive

In short, the existing process wasn’t scalable, and they needed an automated device provisioning solution urgently.

The enterprise selected Cligence’s Zero Touch Enrollment Service Portal to completely automate and centralize their Android device deployment. The solution allowed them to register devices to their organization directly through authorized resellers, and remotely push pre-configured policies, apps, and settings the moment a device connected to the internet.

Key Features Implemented:
  • Pre-configured Setup Profiles: Create once, deploy to thousands
  • Policy Enforcement: Ensures each device adheres to enterprise security guidelines
  • App Auto-Deployment: Critical apps are auto-installed at first boot
  • Dashboard Access: Real-time status of every enrolled device across the globe
  • Zero Touch Enrollment API Integration: Connected with internal MDM for full lifecycle management

  • Step 1: Preparation and Integration

    Cligence’s onboarding team worked with the client's IT department to link the Zero Touch Enrollment Service Portal with their MDM (Mobile Device Management) platform. Authorized resellers were connected to the portal so that any purchased Android devices would be auto-assigned to the client’s enrollment account.
  • Step 2: Profile Configuration

    Standardized setup profiles were created based on department, region, and use case (e.g., delivery staff, warehouse operators, managers). Each profile included Wi-Fi credentials, pre-approved apps, policy settings, and security controls.
  • Step 3: Device Assignment and Rollout

    As devices were purchased, they were automatically enrolled in the system. End-users received factory-sealed devices that automatically booted into enterprise mode—fully configured—within minutes of first connecting to Wi-Fi or mobile data.

Results:

⏱️ 90% Reduction in Deployment Time
Previously, provisioning one device could take up to 30 minutes. With Zero Touch Enrollment, the process was automated and reduced to under 5 minutes per device—with no IT intervention required.
📉 60% Decrease in Support Tickets
With consistent policy enforcement and standardized app deployment, fewer users reported issues during onboarding. New users found their devices ready-to-use out of the box,
🌐 Centralized Global Deployment
Regardless of geography, every Android device across 12 countries was deployed consistently using the Zero Touch Enrollment Service Portal, reducing regional variations in setup and eliminating the need for shipping devices back and forth between branches.
