TabPilot offers an MDM system specifically designed for schools by combining MDM features for the IT department with classroom management features for teachers into a single, easy-to-use, cloud-based system. TabPilot is used to manage iOS, Android, and OS X devices at the school and district level.

Admin tools include app distribution (including VPP support), license management, role-based security, device restriction policies and more.

Teacher tools include the ability to freeze student screens for "eyes up front," the ability to guide and restrict students to a single app or single web site, and other classroom functions such as clearing student passcodes from devices.
