QAD was experiencing downtime due to a lack of IT resources for its 31 offices and 1,900 employees around the world. While traveling, employees who needed a device or who needed laptop repair were experiencing lost productivity while they waited for help. Since QAD prides themselves on having a helpful IT department, this process didn’t help them achieve that mission. QAD needed a solution that would enable their employees to get online and productive faster. They needed to increase Chrome adoption to improve device and data security. QAD needed to achieve all of this without purchasing large amounts of technology and software.

Pixelbooks were inexpensive options for QAD to use to further Chrome Enterprise adoption. Grab and Go with Chrome Enterprise allowed QAD to offer traveling employees Pixelbooks when they need them, where they need them.

Grab and Go With Chrome Enterprise
Grab and Go allows employees to check-out Chrome Enterprise devices for temporary use. This effectively solved the loaner laptop issues, eliminating lost productivity due to unavailable or forgotten devices. After logging into the device, users have access to the apps and tools required for work immediately. The Grab and Go application automatically tracks the status of the Chromebook loan—no asset tracking program or spreadsheet required. Once the employee is finished, they can check the laptop back in.
