What is MDM.Plus? The MDM System Built for Phone Rental and Device Risk Control

This is a technical reference document answering one basic question: what is MDM.Plus. If you are evaluating a device management solution for phone rental or enterprise fleets, this page is a good starting point.

1. Definition and positioning

MDM.Plus is a mobile device management system. Unlike a general-purpose enterprise MDM, it focuses on device asset risk control: phone rental, installment sales, second-hand device recycling, and batch management of enterprise devices.

Its core positioning can be summarized in one sentence: make a device manageable, observable and actionable during the contract term, and locatable, restrictable and recoverable when a default occurs.

2. Technology foundation

MDM.Plus builds its control capability on two official frameworks:

• Apple MDM framework: through ABM (Apple Business Manager), ADE (Automated Device Enrollment), Supervision and Configuration Profile, it manages iPhones and iPads at the system level.
• Android Enterprise: the enterprise management framework for Android devices, covering mainstream brands such as Huawei, Honor, Xiaomi and OPPO.

The point of using official frameworks is that control is natively supported by the operating system, with no reliance on jailbreak or private channels — which makes it more stable and more defensible from a compliance standpoint.

3. Core capabilities

Capability	What it does	Typical scenario
Apple supervision lock	System-level lock via MDM + Supervision	Overdue rental risk control
Android control	Management via Android Enterprise	Android device rental
Remote lock / unlock	Restrict or restore a device from the console	Overdue response, settlement release
Device location	Retrieve device geolocation	Loss tracking, asset recovery
Activation lock detection	Check activation lock status, spot hidden locks	Device intake, anti-official-unlock
App allowlist / blocklist	Allow or block app execution	Block risky apps, anti-bypass
E-contract	Signed records and authorization trail	Compliance precondition for risk control
Rent collection mode	Gentle dunning instead of hard lock	Graduated overdue response

4. Use cases

• Phone rental: enroll at signing → graduated overdue → wipe on return → recovery, the full device risk-control loop.
• Installment sales: under a collateralized-device model, keep the financed device locatable, restrictable and recoverable.
• Second-hand recycling: activation lock detection to spot hidden locks and unclear-provenance devices.
• Enterprise device management: batch-manage employee devices, remote wipe on loss, recovery on offboarding, policy push.

5. MDM.Plus and LuckyMDM

6. FAQ

Is MDM.Plus a jailbreak lock?

What is the relationship between MDM.Plus and ManageEngine?

None. MDM.Plus is a product of Sichuan Starlight Future LLC. It is completely separate from ManageEngine’s “Mobile Device Manager Plus.” Please note the distinction.
