SkieCan I lock a field sales phone to the CRM and maps only?
Yes. Make a short app list with the CRM, maps, calls and anything else the job needs, attach it to the sales group, and hide the Play Store. Skie allows only those apps and silently removes anything else that gets installed. Location can be on during the working hours you set.
A field sales phone is a tool with a short list of jobs: log a visit, find the next address, call the customer, maybe send a quote. Everything else is a distraction, or a risk if a phone carrying customer data is loaded with random apps.
In Skie you build a sales app list in the policy library. Add the CRM, a maps app, the dialer and messaging app if the work needs it, and an expense app if you use one. Attach the list to the sales group. The Play Store is hidden by policy, and the install guard removes unapproved installs. Alternative browsers, VPN apps and proxy apps stay blocked whatever the list says.
If staff need the web for a portal, set the browser to restricted for that group. Chrome rules then apply: SafeSearch forced, incognito blocked, sign-in blocked and sync disabled. The filtered DNS stays on the device on any Wi-Fi or mobile data.
Add a schedule if you want a different set for after hours. The first matching window wins, windows can run overnight, and the device switches on its own. If you do not want a phone to be a personal phone at all, keep one list all day.
Be open with the team. Say what is on the list, what location records, and who can see it. Skie provides the controls, and your policy and consent provide the legal footing. Location requires clear consent, and this is general information, not legal advice.
