Case Study - Staffing Services
Business Overview
The Ōnin Group is an American staffing solutions company based in Birmingham, Alabama.
The company helps its clients find candidates best-suited for jobs in manufacturing, logistics, and other industry sectors.
In addition to several staffing subsidiaries, the Ōnin Group owns ventures in capital funding, equipment and supply, and timber.
Background and Challenges
The Ōnin Group uses Samsung tablets for recruitment, but some issues undercut the efficacy of this strategy:
- Provisioning new devices one-by-one was prohibitively tedious and time-consuming.
- If employees or candidates were to play games or otherwise get distracted by the tablets, it could disrupt the recruitment process.
- Without a way for the IT team to track devices in the field, employees could lose devices with no way to easily find them. The IT team also needed a way to quickly assess device inventory, and know whether devices were online or offline at any given time.
- If devices malfunctioned in the field, technicians would need to travel on-site to repair them, or employees would need to return the devices to the IT team’s office.
- The IT team needed a way to find devices that required repairs before they broke down altogether.

42Gears had the tools needed to fulfill all of The Ōnin Group’s needs. Specifically, The Ōnin Group implemented SureMDM, the device management solution by 42Gears, and SureLock, the device lockdown solution by 42Gears.
