It manages how SmartBrowser licenses are assigned as seats to mobile devices, enabling those devices to use the full SmartBrowser feature set for configured intervals. SmartHub provides administrators with a single location to manage seat assignments, configure SmartBrowser behavior, and support large Android fleets across warehouse, logistics, and retail environments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>SmartHub is designed to reduce day-to-day IT effort while ensuring devices remain productive, compliant, and properly licensed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Core Capabilities<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h4><strong>1.
