No more mystery about who dropped the scanner. Personal login turns anonymous devices into traceable ones - fewer repeat write-offs, faster root-cause on damage.
A shared device with no personal login has no owner - which means every drop, every crack, every repair invoice is nobody's problem to fix and everybody's cost to carry.
Unlock is the checkpoint. From that moment, every action on the device is tied to a person until they log out - no extra step for your team beyond the login they'd do anyway.
Use a unique code, or tap the personnel badge your team already carries - no new card to issue.
Drops, damage events, login/logout times - all logged automatically against the person, not just the device.
Searchable per device or per operator, going back as far as you need - no reconstruction from memory.
11:42 - Device TC27 / a1b1b400dbdb69a4 registers a drop event at location 08-2-14.
CT Identity shows operator CVDV was logged in at the time - no need to ask around the floor.
Checking the history: this is the 3rd drop event logged against this operator in the past 30 days - a different device each time, same pattern.
Instead of writing off another repair as "wear and tear," it's now a specific, dated conversation - and next month's data shows whether it actually changed anything.
The device gets repaired or replaced, nobody's any wiser, and the same pattern quietly repeats next quarter with the next device.
14:20 - A handheld can't be found on the floor. Last known login: operator FL, location Zone C, 09:05 that morning.
A supervisor triggers the lost-device alarm from the portal - the device sounds loudly, wherever it is, until someone brings it back.
Found in a returns bin near Zone C within minutes - instead of a half-day search, or an order for a replacement.
A rugged handheld runs roughly €400–500 to replace. Multiply a few "we never found it" incidents a year across a fleet, and it adds up fast.
Every user unlocks a device with their own PIN, NFC tap, or barcode - including their existing personnel badge if you'd rather not issue anything new.

Personal login means every device has a responsible user. When damage happens, you know exactly who had it last - with a drop counter and history per user, not per device.

Send a message straight to a handheld, trigger a loud alarm on a lost device until it's returned, or set your own alert thresholds so a repeat issue reaches your inbox automatically - without watching a dashboard.

Require personal login on every handheld - PIN, NFC badge or barcode. CT Identity ties every drop or damage event automatically to whoever was logged in at that moment, with a full history per operator and per device.
Software that ties every handheld session to a specific person, so damage, loss and usage history traces to an individual instead of staying anonymous - added on top of any Android barcode scanner you already use, no new hardware.
Trigger a remote alarm that sounds loudly on the device wherever it is, and check the login history to see who had it last and where. That typically finds a lost device in minutes instead of a floor-wide search.
Asset tracking usually tells you where a device is. CT Identity also tells you who was using it and what happened during that session - drops, damage, login history - which is what actually reduces repeat incidents.
