Custom Designed for Custom Devices

For most MDMs, AOSP support is an edge case. For Esper, it’s foundational. The enhanced customizability, configurability, and extensibility of AOSP don’t fit the “cookier-cutter” use cases these legacy tools were designed for. At Esper, we’re built different.

Uplevel Your AOSP Devices

Purpose-built devices have a job to do. From point of sale systems to digital kiosks, Android to iOS, these devices are central to modern business interactions and revenue generation. When they deviate from their intended function, operations grind to a halt, causing customer frustration and lost revenue.

Don’t let an unsophisticated kiosk feature bring down your business. Esper’s hardened kiosk mode can’t be bypassed, offering robust protection for valuable hardware assets while ensuring every device in your fleet is always doing what it’s supposed to.

When you build an AOSP device, you’re choosing a commitment to control and innovation. A declaration of innovation. With Esper, you have a partner designed to support that vision — delivering enterprise-grade tools for maximum flexibility and unified management. Whether you’re scaling a mixing fleet of GMS and AOSP devices or are all-in on AOSP, Esper ensures your devices deliver consistent performance that you can manage from a single pane of glass. 

Higher productivity

Get more done faster by performing tasks remotely instead of traveling to a device’s location.

Reduced support costs

Since you don’t need physical access to a device you can eliminate the costs of manual intervention like truck rolls and shipping devices.

No costly downtime

Problems happen quickly, and with remote tools like viewer and control, solutions can too. Fix issues in real-time so your devices get back up and running fast.

Streamline deployments

Automate app and update rollouts to save time and ensure consistency.

Gain real-time insights

Create custom alerts and notifications for faster decision-making and response times.

Integrate Seamlessly

Connect directly with your existing systems and tools for a unified experience.

Automate repetitive tasks

Reduce manual workload with APIs built for large-scale automation.
Optimize device management: Configure device settings, trigger actions, and monitor performance in real-time.

Management That Enables Innovation, Not Stifles It

Building an AOSP device lets you go beyond an APK — you have control over the operating system and low-level device behavior, opening up possibilities that the competition can’t. If your device management isn’t maximizing that potential, it’s holding you back.
  • Control your update strategy: Manage and deploy your own OS, firmware, and Android security updates, reducing dependency on third parties, increasing security, and extending device lifespans.
  • Build workflows for your custom features: You built your devices custom for a reason, and Esper’s extensible platform, with the help of our API and SDK, let you maximize the impact of your product’s key differentiators.
  • Accelerate your deployments: Esper’s sophisticated Pipelines and Blueprints, coupled with our Seamless Provisioning, are all designed to help you get hardware in the field faster and with better results.
  • Advanced debugging: Secure remote ADB, device remote control, and real-time status monitoring make Esper the most powerful MDM for debugging and troubleshooting — anywhere you can open a browser window or a command line.
  • Achieve full-stack device ownership: Own every aspect of your device ecosystem, from hardware selection to software management, so you can scale confidently and efficiently.

Streamline

Guarantee that every user has the exact experience you want — nothing more, nothing less.

Reduce OpEx

Fully lock down devices to prevent misconfiguration and other tinkering that leads to costly troubleshooting and maintenance.

Enhance prodcutivity

Limit devices to essential functions, eliminating employee distractions and customer confusion.

Strengthen security

Shield devices from unauthorized access and modifications, keeping sensitive company data safe.

Future-proof your fleet by easily configuring and securing a range of devices - from POS systems to tablets and digital signage - adapting as your business grows.

As a service provider, we value Esper’s ability to manage everything at the device level or group level (department/customer) and stagger updates to ensure that devices don’t go down during critical hours, remote debugging, and hardware validation.

What surprised me about Esper was the ease of use and deployment to our devices bundled with the amount of features that it offers. It is a complete package that allows me to take control of the devices within our company to remote manage without the need to have the device in my hands.

We use Esper to provide new Versions of our Android apps to Android tablets. Before using Esper, we had to upload the app to every single device ourselves. With Esper, we assign the new Version to the existing group, and the app is delivered to the tablets within 5 minutes.
