Brand Machine Group (BMG), a major player in the fashion industry, had reached a point many growing businesses encounter: their Apple estate had expanded faster than the tooling and processes around it. With Mac and iOS devices spread across a global workforce, the IT team recognised that their existing approach to device management needed to evolve. By partnering with Remitech to implement Iru , BMG moved to a position of total control, reducing daily management time by nearly 90% and strengthening their security posture across the organisation.

Inconsistent Security Baseline: Without a centralised management platform, the team lacked a standardised way to enforce antivirus coverage and system updates across every device.

Manual Operational Overhead: The IT team was spending 2 to 3 hours every day manually troubleshooting, updating, and tracking devices—time that could be redirected to higher-value work.

Limited Fleet Visibility: There was no single view of which users had which machines, what software was installed, or whether devices were up to date.

“We were relying on end users to manage their own machines, despite security not being their responsibility. That left us exposed to greater risks and potentially serious consequences.”

Recognising the need to professionalise their device management, Saboor researched several MDM solutions including Jamf and Addigy before choosing Iru for its intuitive, user-friendly interface. Having not rolled out an MDM at this scale before, he wanted specialist support to ensure the deployment was done right first time. Iru introduced BMG to Remitech to provide that implementation expertise. Saboor noted that while Iru was the right tool, he needed it to be fully configured and built from the ground up to deliver real value.

“Working with Remitech has been a 10/10 experience. They delivered on their promises and guided us through complex stages like Blueprint deployment.”

Securing Devices & Giving Back Time

Securing Devices & Giving Back Time

Before partnering with Remitech, Brand Machine Group was in a position familiar to many fast-growing organisations: the business had scaled, but the device management infrastructure hadn’t kept pace. With a small IT team handling everything manually, nearly 15 hours of productivity each week was being absorbed by routine maintenance rather than strategic work. Remitech acted as the essential bridge between “having a tool” and “having a solution.”

By treating Iru as a foundation rather than a finished product, Remitech’s Professional Services team provided the specialised engineering required to build a bespoke, global deployment engine. They didn’t just install software; they architected a zero-touch environment that removed the complexity of Mac and iOS management entirely. Today, with full visibility over every device from London to Australia and a robust security posture across both computers and mobile phones, BMG operates as a streamlined, proactive IT function.

The benefit didn’t stop at implementation either—the BMG team has attended Remitech’s bi-annual Apple Admins Meet-Ups, connecting with other Apple Admins from similar-sized businesses and learning from their peers.
