Mobile Asset Management with NinjaOne MDM
NinjaOne MDM gives IT teams real-time visibility into every mobile device, with the tools to track, secure, and manage them from one console.
Common mobile asset management challenges
Tracking and securing mobile devices without a centralized system introduces problems that ad hoc methods don’t solve. Here’s how NinjaOne MDM addresses the most common ones.
Problem | How NinjaOne resolves it |
Mobile devices move between locations, employees, and networks, so IT teams often lose track of which devices exist, who has them, and whether they’re still in use. | NinjaOne MDM maintains a real-time inventory of every enrolled device, including hardware, OS version, and assigned user, so IT always knows what’s in the fleet. |
A lost or stolen mobile device puts company data at risk for as long as it takes IT to notice it’s missing and take action. | NinjaOne MDM lets administrators remotely lock or wipe a device the moment it’s reported lost or stolen, limiting the window of exposure. |
When a mobile device goes missing or is suspected stolen, IT usually has no way to determine its location, making recovery difficult and forcing teams to decide whether to lock or wipe the device without knowing where it is. | NinjaOne MDM provides location tracking for enrolled devices, so IT can see a device’s last known location to inform recovery efforts or a lock/wipe decision. |
Employees can install unauthorized or risky apps on a mobile device, and IT often doesn’t find out until it’s already created a security or compliance issue. | NinjaOne MDM lets administrators control which applications can be installed, blocking or removing unauthorized apps and deploying approved ones remotely. |

Features and Solutions
Always-accurate device fleet visibility
IT always knows what mobile devices exist, who’s using them, and their current status, without maintaining a separate spreadsheet.
Faster response to lost or stolen devices
Combining location tracking, remote lock/wipe, and Lost Mode lets IT act within minutes of a device going missing, rather than leaving data exposed indefinitely.
Lower risk from unauthorized software
Because IT controls which apps can run on a device, the fleet stays free of software that could introduce security or compliance risk.
Configuration consistency across the fleet
Because device settings, installed software, and security policies are all managed through policy-based configuration, every device assigned to a given policy stays consistent, even as the fleet grows.
NinjaOne Mobile Asset Management is a game-changing solution that revolutionizes how you manage your IT assets
Remote IT Asset Management
In today’s digital age, businesses are increasingly spread across multiple locations, and teams often work remotely. This can make IT asset management a challenge.
However, with NinjaOne Mobile Asset Management, you can overcome this hurdle. It allows you to monitor, update, and troubleshoot your IT assets from anywhere in the world.
Whether you need to install a software update, resolve a technical issue, or simply check the status of an asset, NinjaOne has you covered. This not only ensures smooth operations but also saves time and resources that would otherwise be spent on travel or coordination.
Cost Optimization
IT budgets can be a significant expense for businesses, especially when resources are underutilized or misallocated. NinjaOne Mobile Asset Management provides detailed insights into the usage and performance of your IT assets.
This data can help you identify assets that are underused or not used at all, allowing you to reallocate or decommission them as needed.
Furthermore, by automating routine tasks, NinjaOne can reduce the manpower and time required for IT asset management, leading to further cost savings.
Security and Compliance
In an era where data breaches and cyber threats are commonplace, maintaining the security of your IT assets is paramount.
NinjaOne Mobile Asset Management helps you achieve this by identifying potential vulnerabilities in your assets and enforcing asset policies. For instance, if an asset is running outdated software that poses a security risk, NinjaOne can alert you to this issue and help you address it.
Additionally, NinjaOne can ensure that all your assets comply with industry regulations or standards, helping you avoid penalties and protect your reputation.
How mobile asset management works
Here’s how mobile asset management is set up and used in NinjaOne MDM, at a high level.
I. Enable the NinjaOne MDM apps
Administrators enable the NinjaOne MDM Apple app and NinjaOne MDM Android app separately, depending on which device types need to be managed.
II. Set up device policies
Administrators configure device policies, covering passcode requirements, app restrictions, and other device settings, before enrolling any devices.

IV. Track and monitor the fleet
IT monitors inventory, location, and compliance status for enrolled devices from the same console used for other endpoint types.
