Case Study - Aviation / Transportation
Business Overview
IndiGo is India’s largest airline, focusing on providing budget flights between destinations within India.
The company has received a number of international recognitions, including the TripAdvisor 2019 Travellers’ Choice award for low-cost airlines based in Asia.
IndiGo also has a growing presence outside of India, offering flights from India to destinations like Athens, Paris, and London.
Background and Challenges
IndiGo employs a range of devices to scan barcodes as customers make their way through airports to the plane. The chaotic setting of a busy airport posed some challenges.
- If devices malfunctioned, lost all charge, found only weak signal strength, or experienced other issues, sending someone to fix them was expensive and time-consuming.
- Different members of IndiGo had different levels of authorization for accessing and modifying devices, which was both logistically complex and difficult to reinforce.
- Indigo was strongly concerned about device security, as the company had no easy way to test for liabilities.
- Employees would sometimes use IndiGo devices to access games and social media, resulting in high data consumption.
The Solution
SureMDM and SureLock by 42Gears
IndiGo identified 42Gears as the best partner to help resolve its concerns. 42Gears worked with IndiGo to implement SureMDM (the 42Gears device management solution) and SureLock (the 42Gears device lockdown solution).
Together, SureMDM and SureLock enabled IndiGo to overcome their device management challenges:
