We’re delighted to announce our new UK distribution partnership with Podloc, a specialist in all-in-one device management solutions.
Podloc helps fast-moving industries take control of their shared mobile devices, keeping them locked, charged and tracked at all times. Its modular charging lockers and management software provide organisations with full visibility, accountability and control over device fleets in demanding operational environments.
Designed for sectors such as logistics, warehousing, aviation, retail, manufacturing and healthcare, Podloc addresses common challenges around device loss, downtime and inefficiency. By combining physical security with virtual locker software, Vlocr, Podloc provides a scalable system to reduce lost equipment and end queues at the start and end of shifts with easy take-and-go access.
Our UK resellers will gain access to Podloc alongside local commercial support, technical guidance and channel-ready marketing resources. The partnership strengthens Ci Distribution’s rugged mobility and enterprise offering, providing partners with a practical, high-demand solution for shared-device environments.
Jon Atherton, Group Sales Director at Ci Distribution, said:
“We’re delighted to welcome Podloc to the Ci Distribution portfolio. As shared device usage continues to grow across logistics, retail and enterprise sectors, organisations need smarter ways to manage, secure and charge their technology. Podloc’s all-in-one device management solution gives our reseller partners a strong opportunity to deliver real operational value while increasing additional product and infrastructure sales.
For resellers, Podloc creates opportunities beyond initial hardware deployment, enabling ongoing expansion, integration and lifecycle support within enterprise and industrial settings. The solution complements Ci Distribution’s existing mobility and rugged portfolio, offering a complete device ecosystem approach.
Tony Rainbow, Managing Director at Podloc states:
“We’re excited to be growing Podloc’s presence in the UK reseller community with Ci Distribution. It’s a great step in making the solution easier to access, and we’re eager to help more businesses manage their operations.”
This partnership reinforces Ci Distribution’s commitment to bringing innovative, commercially viable solutions to the UK channel, helping resellers win business in fast-moving, device-dependent industries.
