What is the HMD Enable Pro companion app?

HMD Enable Pro is a companion app that provides additional features for company owned Fully Managed and Kiosk mode devices such as location tracking and push notifications

The HMD Enable Pro companion app enables IT Admins to send push-notifications and track the location of company owned Fully Managed and Kiosk mode devices on a map.

The app is distributed to your EMM enterprise as a private Google Play app. The distribution is handled in the background and all you need to do is turn on the companion app from a policy. The EMM system will handle the installation and take the users through the necessary steps.
