Common questions.
Can support be remote?
Many software, account and configuration issues can be handled remotely when a safe remote-support method is available.

Yes. Preventive maintenance can be planned monthly, quarterly or according to device and business needs.
Can support include asset tracking?
Yes. A simple asset register can be maintained for devices, assigned users, maintenance history and movement records.
