Enrollment for every platform
Windows Autopilot, Apple automated enrollment, and Android Enterprise connected, so devices join your console during setup.
The Problem
Company Data on Phones Nobody Can Lock or Wipe
It shows up the day a laptop is left in a taxi, or a salesperson quits with the client list still syncing to their personal phone.
01 · Lost devices
A missing laptop may hold unencrypted client files.
Disk encryption is enforced, and lost devices can be locked or wiped remotely.
02 · Leavers
Former staff keep company email on their personal phones.
A retire action removes work apps and data and leaves personal content alone.
03 · Manual setup
New hires wait while someone builds their laptop by hand.
Autopilot and Apple automated enrollment set up new devices at first sign-in.
04 · Privacy fears
Staff refuse to enroll personal phones over privacy worries.
Work profiles and a plain privacy note show staff exactly what IT can see.
A sales rep leaves and keeps a personal iPhone that still syncs your shared mailbox. Last month a laptop went missing from a car, and nobody knew if its disk was encrypted. New hires wait two days while someone sets up their laptop by hand, installing apps from memory. Staff call the enrollment app spyware, so half never installed it. When your insurer asks whether lost devices can be wiped, you can't say yes for all of them.
We start by listing every company and personal device that touches work data. Then we set up Microsoft Intune or your chosen MDM with Windows Autopilot and Apple automated enrollment, so new devices configure themselves at first sign-in. Staff-owned phones get a separate work profile. Lost laptops get locked or wiped remotely, while personal photos stay personal.
One console for every device
Windows, Mac, iPhone, iPad, and Android managed from one place with one set of rules.
Ready out of the box
New laptops and phones configure themselves at first sign-in, with apps and policies applied.
Personal data stays private
Work profiles on staff-owned phones keep personal photos, messages, and browsing out of view.
Our Mobile Device Management Setup Process
From Device List to Every Phone and Laptop Enrolled in Five Steps
You approve the device policies and the privacy note staff will read before enrollment starts, then sign off once every device shows as compliant.
We look at your device count, platforms, who owns each device, and the licenses you already have. Microsoft 365 Business Premium includes Intune, so you may not need a new tool. If a simpler setting covers your case, we'll tell you before we quote.

What Our Clients Say
What Clients Say After Launch
Feedback from teams we have built apps, platforms, and websites for.
We had a pretty specific idea of what we wanted our website to become, but I wasn’t sure how easily we could explain all of it to a development team. There were quite a few moving parts, and we were working toward a deadline, so I expected a few things to get lost along the way. That never really happened. They understood what we were trying to achieve, kept us updated throughout the process, and got everything ready within the agreed timeline. The final site feels much easier to navigate, works beautifully on mobile, and is noticeably smoother for our customers. It was a huge relief seeing the original idea actually turn into the website we had in mind.
The mobile experience is probably my favourite part of the new site. We had spent a lot of time making sure the desktop version looked right, and the team kept pushing us to think about how everything would actually feel on a phone too. They were right. The navigation is clean, the interactions feel natural, and everything we’ve tested so far works exactly as it should. They also went through the links, forms, integrations, and other details more than once before launch, which I really appreciated. And even after going live, we could still reach out when something came up. The whole process felt friendly, organised, and surprisingly straightforward.
What I appreciate most is that the website is actually easy for us to manage now. We can update content ourselves instead of sending a developer a message every time we need to change something small. They also paid attention to the technical SEO side, which mattered to us because we didn’t want a new website to create problems for the traffic we already had. I’ve probably asked more questions than I should have since launch, but every question has been handled patiently and without any fuss. The team is easy to work with, they explain things clearly, and when we need something changed, they focus on getting it done rather than making the process complicated.

Work Culture
Why IT Teams Trust Us With Their Devices
Device management reaches staff's own phones, so trust matters as much as settings. These habits keep enrollment smooth, privacy respected, and nobody locked out on a Monday.
Privacy first on personal phones
We use work profiles and user enrollment for staff-owned devices wherever we can. Full device control stays on company hardware, where it belongs.
Pilot devices before everyone
Every policy runs on a small pilot group for a few days first. Problems with an app or a printer show up there, not across the whole team.
Licenses you already own
If your Microsoft 365 plan already includes Intune, we use it instead of selling a new tool. You buy software only when a real gap needs it.
Help for stuck enrollments
Some staff will get stuck on a step or an old phone. We stay on hand during each enrollment wave, so nobody loses a working day.
Your console, your devices
The MDM tenant, the Apple and Google accounts, and every policy belong to you. If you change providers, your devices stay enrolled where they are.
Runbooks people actually follow
Leaver, new hire, and lost-device steps fit on one page each. Whoever handles IT next year can follow them without calling us.

Good fit
Small businesses on Microsoft 365
Your Business Premium plan already includes Intune, and you want its device controls switched on properly instead of left untouched.
Teams moving to company iPhones
You're buying iPhones and iPads for staff and want apple mobile device management that sets them up automatically out of the box.
Companies with staff-owned phones
Your team reads work email on personal phones, and you need a policy they'll accept that still lets you remove company data.
Firms facing insurance or audit questions
Your cyber insurer or a client audit asks whether lost laptops are encrypted and can be wiped, and today you can't prove it.
IT providers needing an Intune consultant
You support several small clients and want an Intune consultant to build a clean, repeatable setup you can roll out under your name.
Not a fit
Only a few devices
You have fewer than 5 devices on one platform. The security defaults in your current plan and a written device rule may be all you need for now.
Need ongoing management
You want someone to run devices, alerts, and security tools every month, not a one-time setup. Our managed security services cover that from $850 a month.
Updates are the real gap
Your devices are enrolled already, and only OS and app updates fall behind. Our patch management services handle update rings and reporting from $350 a month.
Need help desk support
You need someone to answer staff calls, fix printers, and replace broken laptops. A local IT support provider fits better than a setup project.

DeveloperLook's MDM setup starts at $900 for up to 25 company devices on Windows and Apple. That includes automated enrollment, encryption policies, and a tested remote wipe. The $2,100 plan covers up to 100 devices on 4 platforms, including staff-owned phones and conditional access. The $3,900 plan moves up to 300 devices from another MDM across 3 offices.
MDM is the practice of enrolling phones, tablets, and laptops into one console that sets security rules and controls work data. IT can require a passcode, encrypt the disk, install apps, and lock or wipe a lost device. Most tools, including Microsoft Intune, cover Windows, macOS, iOS, iPadOS, and Android from one place.
MDM is the short form of mobile device management, and it usually means full control of a company-owned device. Related terms cover narrower or wider jobs: MAM manages only work apps, while UEM adds desktops under the same console. Today most mdm mobile device management tools handle all three, so the policies you set matter more than the label.
On iPhone, it runs on Apple's own management framework, so every MDM uses the same building blocks. Company iPhones enroll through Apple Business (formerly Apple Business Manager) with automated device enrollment, which can stop users removing management. Staff-owned iPhones use User Enrollment, which manages only work accounts and apps and keeps personal data out of reach.
It works through the operating system's built-in management channel, which checks in with a cloud console. The console pushes policies, apps, and certificates, and the device reports its OS version, encryption state, and compliance. If a device falls out of line, access to work email and files can be blocked until it's fixed.
MDM cuts the repeated hands-on work of setting up, updating, and retiring devices. New laptops configure themselves at first sign-in through Windows Autopilot or Apple automated enrollment. Updates and apps go out to groups instead of one device at a time. When someone leaves, one retire action removes company data from their phone without a desk visit.
It's required whenever company data lives on phones and laptops you can't physically reach. Without it, you can't prove a lost device was encrypted or remove data from a leaver's phone. Cyber insurers and client security questionnaires often ask about both. Frameworks such as CIS Controls also expect a device inventory and secure configurations.
Start with the licenses and platforms you already have. Microsoft 365 Business Premium includes Intune, the Microsoft mobile device management tool, which suits most Windows-heavy teams. Apple-heavy teams sometimes prefer an Apple-focused tool. Then check personal phone support, conditional access for email, and whether mobile device management service providers will document the setup for you.
Setup runs in five stages: inventory, policy, console, pilot, and rollout. List every device and its owner, write the rules for each device type, then connect Apple Business, Windows Autopilot, and Android Enterprise to your console. Test on a pilot group for a few days, then enroll the rest in waves. For 25 devices this takes 1 to 2 weeks.
On a staff-owned phone, it can't see your email, texts, photos, browsing or call history, contacts, calendar, or passwords. Microsoft's Intune documentation lists what IT can see: the owner, device name, model, manufacturer, serial number, operating system, and the managed work apps. Location isn't visible on personally owned devices.
