The long-standing family-run butchery vinzenzmurr, named after its founder, can look back on an impressive company history: founded in Munich-Schwabing as a family business, the company now operates 230 locations. From the very beginning, the company management has attached particular importance to the high-quality processing of goods and the careful selection of all suppliers.

Since February 2022, vinzenzmurr has been using the MDM solution MobiVisor to manage mobile devices in the company. Since the start of our partnership, we have successfully implemented our software on over 327 iPads, integrating 300 employees into the IT ecosystem.

As the company continued to grow, previous analog processes became increasingly cumbersome. Ultimately, the main challenge was to manage the company's own iPads cost-effectively, efficiently and sustainably. The previous manual setup of all devices was no longer practicable, so a quick solution in the form of mobile device management (MDM) was needed:

Our mobile device management solution offers the vinzenzmurr Butchery comprehensive control over its devices, both in the stores and in the organization behind the scenes. The big advantage of setting up the devices using an MDS is that different usage policies can be distributed for mobile devices that are only to be used for a specific purpose. This ensures that the devices always run smoothly and that no settings are changed. Restricting the usage options also simplifies usage.

According to our customer, the most popular feature is 'the distribution of guidelines and apps. The MDM support can perform updates and restarts remotely in the event of errors'. The simplicity of the setup, the clear overview and the user-friendly operation of the MDM web console have also met with a particularly positive response.

In the stores, which are spread throughout southern Germany, the iPads are not only used to display products. A checklist app makes it possible to check various tasks in the stores, from cleaning protocols to preparation. In the near future, vinzenzmurr plans to integrate an ordering app to enable the stores to order new products directly from the central production facility.

Future-proof and efficient use of MDM

Our MDM solution also serves as a central communication tool that networks the stores with each other. It enables the exchange of intermediate statuses and stock levels. The iPads are mainly used for organizational tasks, including emails, iMessage and FaceTime communication between employees, stores and store managers. The iOS system apps used efficiently support internal communication. Additional apps can also be quickly and easily distributed to all devices via the Apple VPP program.

vinzenzmurr now benefits from an efficient set-up behind the scenes and at the counter, which makes work easier for all store employees. Resources can be better distributed, as orders can be placed accurately and communication is simplified. The remote management of mobile devices not only optimizes work processes, but also creates a solid foundation for the future. The centralized management of iPads prevents the loss of devices and provides support when new devices need to be set up.

As one of our customers with its own IT manager, vinzenzmurr uses many of the MDM functions independently after onboarding by our MDM team. We are delighted that our software is exactly the right solution for vinzenzmurr!
