One pooled device,clean for every user
Tablets at a nursing station, phones passed between shifts, handhelds on a pooled rack. Manage devices that belong to the role, not the person, and stay clean every time they change hands.

Devices that belong to the shift
The tablet lives at the counter. The handheld goes back on the rack. Managing those like personal devices is a mismatch. Appaloosa manages shared devices as pooled assets tied to a location or a role, ready for whoever picks them up next.
Tied to a role
No single owner, no last user's session greeting the next.
Clean handover
Each shift starts from a known state, not the previous one's mess.
Locked to the job
Users can't wander into settings or a browser.
Provision the pool once
Set up the configuration for the pool once, and every device in it follows the same rules. Add ten more tablets for a busy season and they enroll into the identical setup. When one breaks, its replacement clones into place in minutes.
Consistent pool
Every unit behaves the same, no matter how they come and go.
Scale on demand
New devices join the same locked configuration automatically.
Lose one, replace one
Lock, locate or wipe a missing device; clone its setup onto the next.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions About Shared Device Management
- It is tied to a role or location, used by many people in rotation, and reset to a clean state between users.
- Yes, by locking the device to the apps the station needs.
- Lock, locate or wipe it from the console; its replacement clones the same configuration in minutes.
- Kiosk locks a device to a single app; shared-device management focuses on many rotating users with a clean handover.
- Yes. Shared iPad management relies on Apple Business Manager: each person signs in with a Managed Apple Account, gets their own data partition on the iPad, and signs out at the end of the shift. The next user finds their own session, not the previous one. You provision the pool once through Automated Device Enrollment and manage every iPad in the pool as a group rather than one by one.
- That is the normal setup for shift worker devices. The device belongs to a role, not to a person: the morning warehouse operator and the evening one pick up the same tablet and find the same apps, the same settings and none of the previous session. You assign the configuration to the pool, and a device that comes back from a shift is ready for the next one without an IT stop in between.
