Shakti Foundation, one of Bangladesh’s largest microfinance institutions, operates with a nationwide field workforce responsible for loan collection and community-level financial services. To strengthen digital operations and secure employee devices, Shakti Foundation deployed 4,500 mobile devices fully managed through INovex’s Mobile Device Management (MDM) platform.

Our solution helped them centralize app deployment, enhance device security, protect users from digital threats, and maintain consistent productivity across all field teams.

Project Story

Use Case

Shakti Foundation needed a secure and unified system to manage thousands of mobile devices used by field officers for loan collection, customer handling, and day-to-day operational tasks. Ensuring security and consistent performance across all devices was critical.

The Challenge

  • Deploying and updating the loan collection work app across thousands of devices
  • Ensuring strong device-level security for field teams
  • Preventing malware, phishing attacks, and harmful browsing
  • Controlling and monitoring device usage remotely
  • Reducing misuse of devices and improving compliance
  • Maintaining stable, secure mobile operations across the country

The Solution

Inovex implemented its enterprise-grade MDM platform combined with integrated Byproduct Antivirus protection, enabling Shakti Foundation to:

  • Centrally deploy and update the loan collection app
  • Secure devices with advanced protection against malware and phishing
  • Block harmful websites and unsafe content
  • Restrict unauthorized apps and risky activities
  • Monitor device status, activity, and security posture in real time
  • Provide remote troubleshooting for field officers
  • Ensure consistent device performance nationwide

This created a secure, reliable, and policy-driven mobile ecosystem for their field force.

Implementation

All 4,500 employee devices were enrolled with security policies, antivirus protection, web filtering, and controlled access configurations. The loan collection app was centrally deployed and kept updated through MDM, ensuring standardization across the entire field team.
