About Waizu

Waizu began to solve the challenges that companies have when managing their mobile devices day to day, and it aims to reduce the cost to those companies as a result.

Whether tablets, smart phones or rugged PDAs, solving the challenge of missing or lost devices is a huge problem and Waizu is dedicated to delivering appropriate business and people-focused solutions to these challenges.

Traditional MDM tools often do not resolve the problems of missing devices.

Traditional MDM tools often do not resolve the problems of missing devices, and neither do they eliminate the significant downtime associated with the issuing out and receiving back of shared devices, which often requires a manual process.

A new type of solution is required, one that enables the operations teams to wise up and solve these significant day to day issues that often fall outside of the IT department. Operation steam members need to know where, when and how their mobile devices are being used.
