Beyond Kiosk Mode: Building a Smarter Multi-App Strategy in 2025

In 2025, the landscape of device management is rapidly evolving, with organizations shifting from single-purpose kiosk mode to more versatile multi-app mode for their device fleets. While kiosk mode remains popular in retail for its simplicity and security, the multi-app approach is gaining traction across various industries like restaurants and healthcare, offering operational advantages such as reduced hardware costs, increased agility, and improved staff flexibility. The transition to multi-app mode presents challenges, including the need for tamper-proof settings, robust policy management, and sophisticated application management tools to handle the added complexity of running multiple apps on a single device. To manage these challenges at scale, organizations are standardizing device groupings, investing in mature application pipelines, prioritizing security and compliance, and employing real-time monitoring and analytics. This strategic shift, supported by advanced device management solutions, not only enhances operational efficiency but also transforms device fleets into a competitive advantage by enabling greater return on investment.
