Mobile Kiosk Software
Codeproof offers the ability to change any mobile phone or tablet from a major platform (iOS or Android) into a kiosk and deploy these changes remotely. With kiosk mode turned on, the device will run only one app or a few apps while restricting access to the home screen and task bar. Codeproof Mobile Kiosk software also includes Kiosk App Management support. All these policies and components can be controlled by an IT Administrator from the Codeproof console.
This solution is offered to fulfill the need for company-owned devices. Its primary applications are in the case of an extremely limited range of functionalities e.g. digital signage, medical device kiosks, restaurant billing, ticketing, inventory management, surveys for field researchers etc. However, it is also used to prevent device misuse such as accessing undesirable apps and websites, excessive data usage, and any other unauthorized form of use.
On Apple devices, kiosk mode is known as Single App Mode and is deployed on company-owned devices called supervised devices. On Android devices, company-owned devices are called dedicated devices (formerly called corporate-owned single-use) and can run multiple apps in kiosk mode. Running in single app mode on Android is called lock task mode.
