Mobile Workforce

Managed service.

Keeping people connected creates a steady stream of small jobs. Orders, new starters, lost devices, tariff changes, billing questions, repairs & replacements and digital transformation projects all need someone to own them.

dbfb brings the work together through one managed service, giving your users a clear route for help and your internal teams less to coordinate and manage.

Managed from start to finish

One managed service across the whole mobile lifecycle.

Managed mobility covers the practical work behind keeping mobile users connected, from ordering and setup through to user changes, support, reporting, repairs, refresh and secure retirement.

It becomes particularly valuable when a mobile estate spans multiple sites, large numbers of users or field-based teams, or when IT, finance, HR and operations are all touching different parts of the same process. Without clear ownership, routine requests create repeated admin, slow onboarding and make it harder to maintain accurate records.

Users, devices, airtime, support and reporting can all sit within one clearer managed service.

Simpler mobile management

A lifecycle that stays connected.

Each stage is managed as part of one joined-up process, helping reduce hand-offs, improve consistency and give your teams clearer ownership from order through to refresh.

Procure

Source suitable devices, airtime and accessories through one managed process, helping create a more consistent mobile estate.

Configure

Prepare devices with SIMs, applications, settings, asset records and management policies before they reach the user.

Deploy

Deliver ready-to-use equipment to employees, helping new starters and mobile teams begin work with less delay.

Support

Manage everyday changes, faults, repairs, replacements and user requests through one UK-based support team, with a focus on first-time resolution.

Refresh

Plan upgrades, securely wipe devices and manage responsible recycling when equipment reaches the end of its useful life.

why it matters

Free internal teams from routine mobile admin.

When mobile management is spread across different suppliers, systems and internal teams, small tasks quickly add up.

A managed approach gives IT, finance, HR and operations clearer ownership while reducing the time spent coordinating everyday mobile activity.

It also gives your teams better visibility of what is being used, where costs are building and where controls or processes may need attention.

01

Reduce internal workload

Take routine mobile administration away from IT, HR, finance and operations so teams can focus on higher-value work.

02

Get users started quicker

Prepare services and equipment in advance to reduce delays for new starters and replacement users.

03

Keep ownership clearer

Keep user, device and service records consistent so teams can see what is assigned, active or changing.

04

Stronger cost controls

Prevent bill shock by spotting unusual spend, unused services and opportunities to simplify.

05

Strengthen governance

Use clearer records, controlled changes and device policies to support more consistent management across the mobile estate.

SECURITY & GOVERNANCE

Keep control as devices move through the lifecycle.

Device management is not only about getting equipment to users and replacing it later. Security, ownership and compliance also need to stay consistent as devices are configured, reassigned, lost, refreshed or retired.

Mobile security can add policies, MDM controls, remote actions and compliance visibility around that lifecycle, helping reduce risk and maintain clearer governance across the estate.

why choose dbfb

One accountable team from setup to support.

The value of managed mobility comes from removing the gaps between ordering, airtime, deployment, support, security and end-of-life handling. With dbfb, those activities can sit with one UK-based team rather than several suppliers or internal departments, backed by agreed service levels and ongoing account ownership.

A managed service should prove its value when something goes wrong. Our support team is tasked with getting to the right resolution first time wherever possible and keeping ownership when the issue spans more than one part of the mobile estate.

01

One service across the lifecycle

Devices, airtime, deployment, support and retirement can be coordinated together rather than handed between separate suppliers.

02

Devices ready-to-work out the box

Checks, asset tagging, SIM setup, configuration and MDM enrolment can all happen before equipment reaches the user.

03

First-time resolution is always the goal

Support is focused on resolving issues quickly, reducing repeat contact and getting your teams back up and running sooner.

04

Ongoing account ownership as standard

Regular reviews help keep services aligned, usage visible and future changes easier to plan, manage and adapt as your needs evolve.
