Companion application, push-notifications & tracking device location

Learn how to enable the HMD Enable Pro companion app to allow device tracking

The HMD Enable Pro companion app enables IT Admins to send push-notifications and track the location of the 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.
