The device is lost.
Find it in minutes.

Elemez Device Finder helps your team walk straight to a missing handheld using a simple hot and cold indicator.

Fewer lost devices written off, fewer replacements purchased.

A device that cannot be found is a device you buy again.

The Economic Impact of Lost Devices

88% of IT leaders admit to lost devices each year.   Only 3% of these leaders report they did not have to purchase replacements.

A "Day In the Life" of Lost Devices

Frontline Reality

End of shift, a scanner is missing. It could be under a pallet, in a returns bin, in a locker, or in someone’s coat. The team looks for ten minutes, gives up, and logs it. Next month it is a replacement on the invoice.

The Visibility Gap

An MDM can tell you a device left a location or went idle. That is a report, not a rescue. It does not put the device in your hand, and it does not help the person on the floor who is actually standing near it.

The Impact

Lost and unrecovered devices are a quiet, repeated cost. Every one you find is a replacement you do not have to buy, and a shift that starts with the right number of devices.

Device Finder

Elemez is the independent Mobility Intelligence platform. It reports how your supported Android and Windows devices, their batteries, and their networks are performing across the estate, regardless of the mix of MDMs and device manufacturers in your estate. That independence is a platform attribute: change your MDM/EMM or add a device from a different manufacturer, and you maintain the same level of Mobility Intelligence.

Device Finder is Elemez put to work on one urgent, everyday problem: recovering a missing Android device before it becomes a replacement. It runs as a companion app to the Elemez agent on your Android devices, so the people on the floor can use the tool without involving the help desk or IT.

How Device Finder Works

Quickly and Easily Locate Lost Android Devices

Lost Devices Signal For Help

When a device is not moving and other trigger conditions are met, it starts to beacon automatically after a set amount of time. Move it, wake it, or put it on charge, and the countdown stops. Lost devices raise their hand before anyone even reports them missing. And it works alongside the MDM you already run.

Colleagues Find it. Not the Help Desk.

Run the Device Finder app on any Android device to list those devices currently beaconing as lost, sorted by proximity or by how long the “lost” beacon has been transmitting. The find happens peer-to-peer, where the device is, so recovery does not have to wait on a ticket, IT, or a trained admin.

Seek Gauge Gets You Close

Select the missing device from a list and the gauge climbs from Distant to Near as you close in, reaching 90 to 100% when you are within about a metre. With an effective range of about 20 metres, it turns a floor-wide search into a short walk.
