Zero-Touch Enrollment Guide

Deploy thousands of devices with QR code provisioning and automated configuration

What is Zero-Touch Enrollment?

Zero-Touch Enrollment (ZTE) eliminates the manual configuration process traditionally required when setting up managed devices. Instead of IT staff spending 15-30 minutes per device installing apps, configuring settings, and enrolling in management—or worse, having untrained end users attempt this—the entire process happens automatically.

The user simply scans a QR code during device setup, and within minutes, the device downloads your configuration profile, installs required applications, enforces security policies, and enrolls in your management platform—all without any technical knowledge required.

Why Zero-Touch Matters

Massive Time Savings

Reduce setup time from 20+ minutes to under 3 minutes per device

Zero Configuration Errors

Eliminate human error in device setup and policy application

Self-Service Capable

End users can activate devices themselves, reducing support burden

Global Scalability

Deploy across multiple countries without local IT infrastructure

Setting Up Zero-Touch Enrollment

1 Create Configuration Profile

In your management console, define the configuration profile including apps to install, restrictions to enforce, Wi-Fi settings, and lock screen policies. This profile will be applied to every device that enrolls using this method.

Example Configuration:
• Apps: [Payment App, Support App, Device Care]
• Restrictions: Block factory reset, disable app installation
• Lock Policy: Auto-lock on payment default
• Network: Auto-connect to known Wi-Fi networks

2 Generate QR Codes

The platform generates unique QR codes for your enrollment profile. You can create individual codes per device (for tracking) or use a single code for batch deployments. QR codes can be printed, emailed, or displayed in your portal.

3 Distribute to End Users

Send QR codes to customers via email, SMS, or include printed cards in device packaging. Provide simple instructions: "When setting up your device, scan this QR code when prompted."

4 User Scans & Activates

During Android setup, users scan the QR code. The device automatically downloads your management app, applies policies, installs required applications, and completes enrollment—all in 2-3 minutes.

5 Verify & Monitor

Devices appear in your dashboard as soon as enrollment completes. Verify that policies are applied correctly and monitor device health and compliance from your central console.
