The Solution

Focal: Mobile Device Management for Industrial Workplaces

Focal empowers facility managers to eliminate mobile phone distractions in real time, without the hassle of collecting phones.

How It Works

Four Simple Steps

1

Admin Setup

Employer registers the facility on the easy-to-use web dashboard. Focal's standard block list is ready upon implementation.

2

Employee Taps In

Worker taps phone to the Focal device (NFC). Distracting apps are blocked instantly, the session begins, and the dashboard is notified.

3

Real-Time Oversight

Supervisors monitor compliance live: who is active and who is inactive, across all shifts and locations.

4

Employee Taps Out

At shift end or break, the worker taps the same Focal device. Apps are unblocked, the session closes, and compliance is logged.
