Mulholland Contracts Powers Field Teams with Samsung Knox

Samsung Knox Device Management in the UK: How HeyIT Helped Mulholland Contracts Scale a Secure Mobile Workforce

Managing a fleet of mobile devices across a field-based workforce can be challenging - especially when security, data usage, and scalability are critical. At HeyIT, we specialise in Samsung Knox device management in the UK, helping businesses take full control of their Android devices.

Our work with Mulholland Contracts highlights how the right combination of Samsung devices, Knox management, and DNS-level security can transform the way a business operates in the field.

Mulholland Contracts is a construction contractor delivering works throughout Scotland, with expertise spanning Groundworks, Multi Utilities and Surfacing. Operating across a wide range of project environments - from residential infrastructure to rural development - their teams depend on reliable, secure mobile technology to keep operations running smoothly on site and in the office.

By deploying Samsung devices with Knox management and DNS-level security, Mulholland Contracts has been able to streamline communication, protect sensitive project data, and maintain operational control across geographically dispersed teams - all while meeting the demands of a fast-paced construction environment.

Devices are fully managed by the organisation allowing for total control of work devices.

Moving to a Paperless, 5G-Enabled Workforce

Mulholland Contracts needed a solution that allowed their teams to work efficiently on-site without relying on office infrastructure or WiFi.

By rolling out Samsung devices with 5G connectivity, their engineers can now:

• Access live site maps and documentation from anywhere

  
  

• Complete digital forms and submit reports in real time

  
  

• Capture and upload images directly from site

  
  

• Use Scottish Water applications without interruption

Apps are centrally managed and pushed out across the fleet within 5 minutes which previously took days.

“With HeyIT and Samsung Knox, our field teams stay connected, secure, and focused on work. Device management just isn’t a problem anymore.”

This transition to a paperless workflow has reduced admin time, improved accuracy, and increased overall productivity across the business.

Samsung Knox Mobile Device Management (MDM)

To support this rollout, HeyIT implemented Samsung Knox — a leading Android mobile device management (MDM) platform designed for business use.

Only whitelisted apps are allowed to be installed through the custom Play Store on devices.

With Samsung Knox, we provide:

• Zero-touch deployment for fast device setup

  
  

• Centralised control over apps, settings, and updates

  
  

• Device lockdown for business-only usage

  
  

• Remote management and troubleshooting

  
  

• Consistent configuration across all devices

Mulholland Contracts currently operates over 100 managed devices, with plans to scale to 200+, all controlled through a secure and unified Knox environment.

Controlling Data Usage with DNS Filtering

With all devices using mobile data via 5G, controlling usage and maintaining security was essential.

DNSFilter does a hard block of any 'non business' apps and services on devices displaying a message to the user.

HeyIT deployed DNSFilter across every device, allowing us to:

• Block non-business websites and apps

  
  

• Reduce unnecessary data consumption

  
  

• Protect users from malicious content

  
  

• Improve device performance and focus

This ensures that mobile data is used strictly for business purposes, helping Mulholland Contracts manage costs while maintaining a secure environment.

Scalable Android Device Management for Growing Businesses

As businesses grow, their device management needs become more complex. Our Samsung Knox solution is built to scale, allowing Mulholland Contracts to expand their fleet without increasing IT overhead.

Mulholland require SafteyCulture to be deployed fleet wide. With Samsung Knox this is guaranteed and install reports can be generated.

New devices can be:

• Automatically enrolled into Knox

  
  

• Pre-configured with required apps and settings

  
  

• Deployed to staff with minimal setup time

This makes onboarding faster and ensures consistency across every device in the organisation.

• Enterprise-grade security at the hardware and software level

  
  

• Full control over device usage and restrictions
