MDM

What is mobile device management (MDM)?

MDM software lets IT teams centrally manage and secure laptops, smartphones, and tablets. It covers security policy enforcement, app and update deployment, real-time monitoring, and remote lock or wipe capabilities, keeping company data protected and your fleet compliant.

How do I chose the right MDM solution?

When choosing an MDM, look for cross-platform support (macOS, Windows, Linux, Android, iOS), strong security features like remote wipe and disk encryption, and a solution that scales with your team.

Also consider how well it integrates with your HR systems, SSO providers, and procurement workflows, how intuitive the interface is, and whether the pricing model is transparent. Primo checks all of these, with HR-connected automation and flat monthly pricing.

What is BYOD and how does Primo handle it?

BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) allows employees to use personal devices for work. Primo supports BYOD scenarios by applying lightweight security and compliance rules without taking full control of the device. That means employees keep their privacy, while IT ensures business data stays protected.

Can Primo handle Apple Business Manager (ABM) enrollments?

Primo fully supports zero-touch deployment via Apple Business Manager. Devices can be pre-configured and shipped directly to employees. When they turn them on, they’re automatically enrolled into your MDM with the right apps, settings, and restrictions applied.

What can you do with MDM?

Primo MDM gives IT teams full visibility and control over their fleet.

You can enforce security policies, configure settings and push updates remotely, locate or wipe lost devices, automate onboarding and offboarding workflows, and stay compliant with standards like ISO 27001 or GDPR.

What about Windows Autopilot enrollment?

Primo integrates with Windows Autopilot to streamline device provisioning in 40+ countries. Just define your setup templates, Primo handles the configuration and shipping so your team can focus on what matters.

IAM

What is identity and access management (IAM) software?

IAM software helps control who can access which apps and data in your company. It automates account creation, permissions, and offboarding to keep access secure and aligned with each user’s role.

Why do organizations need an IAM solution?

Without IAM, access becomes messy and people retain permissions they shouldn't. Offboarding turns into a security risk. IAM keeps your systems clean, secure, and compliant.

How do I chose the right SaaS management solution?

Look for integration with your tools (Google, Microsoft, Slack, etc.), automated provisioning based on HR data, MFA support, clear access logs for compliance, and a smooth experience for both admins and employees.

What is Zero Trust?

Zero Trust means no one is trusted by default, even inside your network. Every access request must be verified, and only the minimum access is granted.

What is least privilege access?

It’s a security principle where users only get the access they absolutely need, nothing more. It limits risk and keeps sensitive data safer.

Global Procurement

Which countries does Primo ship to?

Primo can ship and deliver devices in over 60 countries, including across Europe, North America, Asia, and LATAM. If you’re unsure about a specific country, just ask, we likely cover it.

Can devices be pre-configured before shipping?

Primo supports zero-touch deployment. Apps, security settings, and user accounts are all configured before the device leaves the warehouse.

Can I track devices after shipping?

Primo gives you real-time visibility into every device's status, condition, and location across your global fleet, whether it's in use, in storage, or in transit.

What happens when someone leaves the company?

Primo automates the full offboarding flow: generating a return label, tracking the device back, securely wiping it, and making it ready for reassignment, all synced with your HR system.

How fast can devices be delivered?

In most major regions, devices arrive within 5 business days. For more remote locations, our team will proactively update you on expected delivery times.

Do you handle repairs or replacements?

Primo partners with manufacturers and authorized repair centers. Whether it’s a warranty issue or accidental damage, we help manage the logistics so your IT team doesn’t have to.

Can we connect Primo with our HR platform?

Primo integrates with your HRIS to automate provisioning, shipping, and retrieval based on employee lifecycle events like onboarding, offboarding, or role changes.
