Can a housing society use Skie for gate and visitor tablets?

Skie for Enterprise · Updated

Short answer

Yes. A housing society can lock the gate tablet to the visitor-management app with kiosk mode or a one-app list, so guards cannot install games or browse. Skie shows whether the tablet is online and where it is, and the society can replace a broken tablet without losing its settings.

Gate tablets and guard-room phones are shared between shifts and get little care. Within a month, many have extra apps, a changed wallpaper and a flat battery.

Skie fixes the dull parts. Create a group for the society, attach a one-app list with the visitor app, and use full-screen kiosk mode if the tablet stays at the gate. Hide the Play Store, and block factory reset from Settings, safe mode, adding users and uninstalling Skie. If the tablet sits on a stand, optional switches disable the camera if the app does not need it, Bluetooth and USB file transfer.

Management committees change every year or two, and that is a real risk for shared devices. Skie has roles, so an office-bearer can be given a role without becoming the owner of the whole setup, and the access can be removed when the term ends. Page access can be switched per role.

When a tablet breaks, replace a device keeps the group and history and frees the old seat. When it is stolen, lost mode locks it and gives you a trail. The tablet needs power and Wi-Fi at the gate, and the dashboard shows when it has been quiet too long.

Skie is software, so the society uses a tablet it already owns, as long as it runs Android 12 or newer and can be reset once. Pricing is by seat and on request.
