Enterprise Retail Kiosk Management Platform

• Deploying tablets across retail stores introduced several operational and security risks:

  • Need to restrict devices to a single application

  • Prevent unauthorized USB file transfers

  • Block access to system settings and other apps

  • Prevent devices from entering sleep mode during operation

  • Restrict volume manipulation by users

  • Optimize battery performance for all-day store usage

  • Enable secure admin access for maintenance

  • Ensure automatic app updates without manual intervention
    
    

  The solution had to maintain high reliability in busy retail environments while preventing misuse or tampering.

Nevrio implemented a secure Android kiosk management system using Device Policy Controller (DPC) and enterprise mobility management principles.

Key capabilities included:

• Single-app kiosk mode using Android Lock Task Mode

• USB file transfer restrictions via device policy enforcement

• Complete restriction of access to system settings and other applications

• Wake lock implementation to prevent unintended sleep mode

• Volume control lockdown using DevicePolicyManager APIs

• Battery-optimized application design for extended operational hours

• Automatic application updates via Managed Google Play

• Admin-authenticated maintenance mode for temporary kiosk exit
  
  

The platform ensured centralized policy enforcement while maintaining operational flexibility for store administrators.
