Raising $1,250,000 to launch and scale "Moblyz" - The enterprise platform for a managed mobile device life-cycle

Facebook Twitter LinkedIn

The enterprise solution for a managed mobile device life-cycle, Moblyz is an intuitive platform enabling data-driven planning and automated, secure, and trackable facilitation of IT asset life-cycle services for enterprises. Large enterprises have thousands of corporate-liable mobile devices deployed globally making it virtually impossible for mobility programs to be managed effectively.
Growing concerns for those attempting to manage enterprise mobility programs:
  • Data security
  • Privacy compliance
  • Real-time visibility
  • Asset accountability
  • Liability risk
  • Unnecessary costs
  • Ease-of-use
  • Planning insight
  • Employee efficiency
  • Eco-friendly practices
  • Trust in vendors
There is no other tool that single-handedly provides the ability to facilitate, manage, and monitor mobility programs such as: 
  • Device procurement
  • Inventory management
  • Repair / replace
  • Device decommissioning
  • Buyback
  • Workforce mobility planning
Large enterprises need a unified platform that enables them to implement, manage and monitor corporate-liable mobile device life-cycle programs providing them with:
  • Unified global programs
  • Real-time visibility
  • Data privacy compliance 
  • Planning tools
  • Cost savings & Value recovery
  • hands-off logistics
  • Intuitive dashboard
  • automation tools
The Market
  • The incorporation of remote and mobile employees and increase adoption of cloud-based technologies are some factors fueling the market need. 
  • However, data security risks are hampering the market growth.
  • Traditional device life-cycle vendors fell into a comfortable position, taking advantage of the lack of options tailored to enterprise needs.
  • Today, and even more in the future, the management of mobility hardware is critical to the success of an enterprise, yet becoming more challenging.
  • Enterprise mobility service providers attempting to meet customer expectations are scrambling to become more unified in their service offerings - realizing the need for a single platform that can satisfy enterprise needs on a global scale.
Competition
  • Mobile device lifecycle management as it exists today is a relatively new and growing battle primed for innovative solutions. 
  • Options for enterprises are limited and unsatisfactory. Competition is sparse. 
  • The closest competitors include electronics recyclers, IT resellers, and repair shops who invested heavily in static business models lacking the agility to satisfy today’s evolving mobility landscape.
  • The window of opportunity to be the market leader will not exist for long. Large enterprises such as Apple and IBM are realizing the same needs and are currently investing heavily in customer experience, sustainability, and managed services for the enterprise market. They prefer to license an existing platform if it existed, but will eventually build their own if needed.

IBM saw not only the value in the platform interface, but through proprietary technology integrations and blockchain encryption methodology, mitigating data breach risk to such an extent that they could unlock service offerings to their customers worth millions. - IBM has directly asked for a licensed version of this platform to white-label.

Using a previous version of the platform to plan, manage, track, and recover value from leased device, 
Apple immediately saw the value as it answered to their recent efforts in sustainability, governance, and customer experience throughout the product life cycle - even into the secondary market. - Apple Financial Services has directly asked for a licensed version of this platform to white-label.
