We are excited to announce the launch of SOTI ONE Lockdown, an intuitive, simplified and smart device lockdown feature that amplifies your control over the access and security of your mobile fleet.
In this blog, we’ll delve deeper into this feature’s offerings, from its seamless integration within the SOTI ONE Platform to its intuitive design.
Firstly, Why is Enterprise Device Lockdown Necessary?
Whether you’re managing devices in transportation and logistics (T&L), retail or healthcare, ensuring each worker has secure access to the right tools for their job is a universal challenge.
Step into the shoes of an IT Admin for a large-scale retailer who uses shared devices to drive operations. When a staff member needs a device, it’s your responsibility to ensure it caters to their unique role and responsibilities. For example, once logged in to a mobile point-of-sale (mPOS) device, a cashier should only see the POS app, while a floor manager may only need access to inventory and scheduling apps.
Other lockdown products usually offer limited options for customization, both functionally and aesthetically. This results in poor user experience and disappointed IT Admins and frontline workers alike. No other competing lockdown or kiosk solution provides the flexibility, ease or customization that SOTI ONE Lockdown does, which is why it changes the game.
A Smarter Way to Lock Down Devices
SOTI ONE Lockdown introduces a wizard-style interface that simplifies how IT Admins configure and customize lockdown environments for different roles. Supporting this capability is SOTI Snap for Lockdown, which provides a simple drag-and-drop interface to design custom screens – eliminating unnecessary complexity and development overhead.
Think of this tool as a design studio for lockdown experiences. Whether you’re creating a branded home screen, limiting access to role-specific apps or setting up a secure login with an NFC or passkey, Lockdown unlocks effortless control.
How SOTI Makes Enterprise Device Lockdown Simple
SOTI ONE Lockdown integrates seamlessly across the SOTI ONE Platform! Discover an intuitive way to configure Lockdown for your enterprise and gain visibility into operations through the SOTI ONE Platform in the following ways:
Simplified Configuration
Most competitive lockdown solutions on the market offer basic tools, which often limit an IT Admin’s ability to efficiently configure lockdown. With SOTI ONE Lockdown, IT Admins benefit from a streamlined setup wizard and a design tool to configure and build capability- rich, custom lockdowns in minutes.

Custom Home Screen Design
Using SOTI Snap for Lockdown, design personalized lockdown and home screens that are unique to each role, enabling shared devices to serve more users.

Seamless Device Access
Fast, hassle-free logins are essential in high-paced environments. With NFC tags or a QR code and PIN, users can access their apps instantly, meaning no typing and no delays.

Role-Based Access & Security
The device experience changes in real time to the authenticated user and reacts to key conditions, like battery level or location. Automatically lockdown devices when they leave secure environments or disconnect from SOTI MobiControl.
