Lists per location
Contact lists per location, created and edited in the browser.
For SOTI MobiControl administrators
NM Contacts puts the right phone numbers on every work phone, per location, automatically, from one web portal.
Municipalities, care homes, retail chains and logistics companies hand out shared Android work phones. Each location needs its own list of colleagues, departments and on-call numbers in the phone's Contacts app.
Maintaining this by hand on hundreds of phones does not work, and numbers go stale.
How it works
Your own administrator keeps one contact list per location in a web portal, or imports it from a CSV file with name and phone number. The import shows a preview before anything is saved.

A small Android app is pushed silently to the phones through SOTI MobiControl. Server address, API key and location are set in the managed configuration. The location comes from a device attribute, so each device group gets its own list.

Contacts appear in the phone's normal Contacts app under the account "Nordic Mobility". Edits, additions and deletions in the portal reach the phone on the next sync. You choose how often that happens.

Any Android phone running Android 8.0 or newer will work.
Start the app once after install. After that it syncs on its own.
The interval is configurable, so phones can sync as often as you need. We recommend twice a day. Contact lists rarely change by the minute, and fewer syncs keep device operations and bandwidth to a minimum.
Uninstall the app through SOTI.
