Express Checkout

Express checkout refers to a streamlined process that enables users to quickly and securely obtain or return shared mobile devices without time-consuming manual processes or administrative delay. In enterprise environments — especially healthcare, manufacturing, and other high-turnover settings — mobile devices are checked out and in repeatedly between shifts. A frictionless mobile checkout process allows employees to pick up a device, authenticate instantly, and begin work without delay. The same applies at the end of use, where devices must be checked in, wiped, and reconfigured for the next user. Automating these processes for a fast mobile checkout reduces idle time, prevents workflow interruptions, and ensures that devices are continuously available, secure, and functioning properly. Whether it occurs in an enterprise deployment or a shared clinical mobility environment, express checkout supports productivity and reliability.

In this context, Mobile Access Management (MAM) platforms play a pivotal role. A great MAM product doesn’t just enable access control. It manages the entire device lifecycle, from authentication and checkout to reboot and remediation. Large organizations rely on mobile devices for critical workflows, and even minor downtime can cascade into operational inefficiencies. Automating mobile device provisioning allows IT teams to maintain large device fleets with minimal manual effort. Automatic remediation can address an unhealthy device — clearing errors, applying updates, or restoring configurations — before the next checkout, so that users know they’ll always get a device that’s ready to go. These capabilities make a strong MAM solution essential for companies that depend on reliable mobile infrastructure to support daily operations.

Imprivata Mobile Access Management delivers this experience through a fully integrated express checkout and automated remediation workflow. Devices are automatically restored to a healthy state, ensuring users always receive a device in the best possible condition. This zero-touch process prevents disruptions caused by technical issues and reduces the administrative burden on IT staff. By embedding these functions into every express checkout workflow, Imprivata eliminates common points of friction and maintains consistency across mobile fleets. The result is a fast, reliable, and secure checkout experience that scales easily across large organizations using mobile devices in mission-critical environments.

Beyond the device itself, Imprivata Mobile Access Management also supports remote operations, such as restarting a Smart Hub directly from the MAM console. Smart Hubs connect mobile devices to Launchpads, enabling efficient provisioning and connectivity across distributed environments. The ability to remotely restart Smart Hubs ensures consistent performance and connectivity, even when admins are off-site. These capabilities demonstrate how Imprivata extends MAM functionality beyond device access to cover infrastructure resilience and uptime.

In any shared technology environment, the principles of express checkout — speed, reliability, and minimal user friction — are key to maintaining productivity. Just as self-checkout systems in consumer settings emphasize simplicity and automation, enterprise express checkout must deliver seamless transitions between users while maintaining strong security and compliance. Imprivata’s approach to Mobile Access Management embodies this balance, providing a scalable, secure, and efficient framework that ensures mobile devices are always ready and available when needed.
