Secure Communication for the Deskless Workforce
Secure Communication for the Deskless Workforce
Retail staff, factory workers, and field technicians are the backbone of your operations, yet they are historically the most disconnected from corporate IT. Relying on personal messaging apps for shift swaps or printing physical memos creates massive security risks and operational delays. Google Workspace Frontline provides a specialized, mobile-first productivity suite designed exactly for these roles. Digitl acts as your strategic partner, deploying highly secure, cost-effective Frontline environments that bridge the gap between corporate headquarters and the field, ensuring every employee is connected, informed, and compliant.

Mobile-First Ecosystem
Mobile-First Ecosystem
Frontline is heavily optimized for smartphones and tablets. Workers get instant access to Gmail, Google Chat, and Meet directly from their mobile devices without needing a corporate laptop.

Access to Shared Drives

Frontline workers can securely view and collaborate on critical corporate documents – like safety manuals and HR policies – stored in the organization's Shared Drives.
Integrated Shift Communication

No-Code Automation
No-Code Automation
Frontline pairs perfectly with AppSheet Add-ons. Digitize paper-based workflows by giving field workers mobile apps for inventory scanning or safety checklist submissions.

Eliminating "Shadow IT"
Eliminating "Shadow IT"
When deskless workers lack official communication tools, they inevitably use unsecured consumer apps (like WhatsApp or Facebook Messenger) to share schedules and customer data. Digitl eliminates this Shadow IT risk by deploying Frontline, bringing all field communications back under the centralized security and retention policies of your Google Workspace tenant.
Securing the BYOD Environment
Securing the BYOD Environment
Providing corporate smartphones to thousands of retail or factory workers is financially impossible for most businesses. Frontline is designed for BYOD. Digitl configures Android Enterprise and iOS endpoint controls, ensuring that corporate data remains fully encrypted and isolated within the Workspace apps on the employee's personal phone.
Strategic License Provisioning
Strategic License Provisioning
Purchasing full Enterprise licenses for staff who only need to check email and view schedules on their phones is a massive waste of IT budget. Frontline is a heavily discounted tier. We architect hybrid tenants where headquarters staff use Enterprise Plus, while the operational workforce runs on Frontline, perfectly optimizing your total cost of ownership.
