SOTI announced its 2026.1 product updates for the SOTI ONE Platform, delivering new capabilities designed to keep frontline and enterprise operations secure, productive and resilient in increasingly complex environments. 

The latest SOTI ONE updates help organizations boost productivity, speed up troubleshooting and scale automation.

“In many organizations, mobile disruptions don’t come from one major failure - they come from small, repeat issues like misconfigured devices, stalled sessions or manual fixes that escalate into downtime and ultimately hidden costs,” says Shash Anand, SVP of product strategy, at SOTI. “With the recent updates to SOTI ONE, we’re addressing those challenges at the source by automating issue detection and recovery, strengthening security across shared devices and removing friction from frontline access. The result is fewer interruptions, faster resolution, greater visibility across device fleets and less reliance on IT, keeping teams productive, no matter how fast environments change.” 

Key takeaways:

 

·        SOTI ONE Lockdown introduces better usability and security for shared device environments. With a new capability that allows the next user to securely log out of a previous session directly from the unlock screen, organizations can eliminate unnecessary device restarts, reduce IT support calls and keep devices in continuous use across shifts. In addition, expanded authentication options—including PIN, NFC, or a combination of NFC and PIN—provide greater flexibility to meet diverse security requirements while ensuring fast, seamless access for frontline workers. In retail, this speeds up shift changes by allowing associates to quickly access devices without delays, while protecting POS and inventory data between users. In transportation and logistics, this enables drivers and warehouse workers to securely access shared devices at the start of each shift, reducing downtime and keeping deliveries and workflows moving.

·        SOTI MobiControl 2026.1 reduces IT effort across Android, Apple and Windows with expanded automation, real-time monitoring and stronger security. IT teams can monitor custom Android device states and trigger automated policy actions for faster compliance and self-healing, while new Windows capabilities deliver real-time issue detection, centralized firmware and patch management, and Microsoft Defender for Endpoint integration. Apple management is also streamlined with disruption-free device migration, account-driven enrollment and SOTI VPN now extended to macOS, giving organizations consistent, cross-platform control from a single solution.

·        SOTI XSight 2026.1 introduces enhanced troubleshooting and integration capabilities that empower IT teams to resolve issues faster and more efficiently. With new public API integrations for external ITSM platforms, teams can seamlessly connect tickets to live troubleshooting sessions, leverage advanced diagnostics like remote control and live chat and automatically sync insights back to incidents. In addition, improvements to collaboration and remote support, including file sharing, chat recording and archiving, full keyboard shortcuts and more advanced mouse and touch interactions, deliver a more intuitive and effective support experience across devices.

·        SOTI Snap 2026.1 enhances frontline communication and usability with new capabilities that streamline operations and reduce manual effort. Organizations can now schedule and automate announcements to deliver messages at a specific date and time, ensuring timely reminders, event notifications and critical updates reach frontline workers exactly when needed. In addition, SOTI MobiControl actions are now supported on every widget, enabling administrators to trigger device actions directly from the interface and tailor dashboards for faster, more intuitive workflows.

·        SOTI Connect 2026.1 makes it easier to see and understand device performance across distributed environments. Computed Custom Attributes turn raw device data into clear, meaningful insights tailored to your operations, while new dashboard widgets like Compliance Tables help surface key information at a glance. Support for Linux-based protocol adapters also expands reliable device management to Ubuntu, Debian and Raspberry Pi, ensuring consistent connectivity across all sites.
