What is Device Fleet Management?
Centralized management of remote device networks, providing unified visibility into operational status, performance metrics, and remote issue resolution from a single platform.
Importance
As device networks scale, especially across multiple locations, efficient fleet management becomes critical for performance, cost control, and security. It ensures every device remains operational and compliant.
Key Functions
- Device onboarding and provisioning
- Group policy enforcement and configuration
- Status dashboards and performance metrics
- Bulk updates and task automation
Challenges
- Diverse hardware and operating system environments
- Limited visibility without centralized reporting
- Complexity in coordinating across multiple vendors and locations
Canopy's Role
Canopy simplifies device fleet management with a single interface that gives operators full visibility and control. Canopy offers [[remote monitoring and management]] (RMM) for [[connected products]], helping technical support teams and other operators to monitor system health and receive alerts if remote devices go offline, manage endpoint hardware, peripherals, and software or OS settings without going on-site (i.e., "rolling a truck"), and build custom automations for troubleshooting, configuration management, firmware and software update, and more.
