SOTI Predicts the Top 5 Tech Trends Shaping Mobility Management in 2025
As mobile workforces grow, businesses are turning to advanced technology to drive efficiency, security, and sustainability. In 2025, AI, automation, and real-time connectivity will transform how mobile employees operate. SOTI, a global leader in enterprise mobility and IoT management, has identified five key trends that will redefine mobile work.
“With businesses relying on mobility more than ever, workers need technology that enhances productivity, security, and adaptability,” said Michael Dyson, VP of Sales, APAC at SOTI. “The trends we’re seeing for 2025 will shape the way mobile teams interact with technology, making workflows more intuitive and efficient.”
1. Gesture-Based AI Will Enable Hands-Free Productivity
Artificial intelligence is evolving to recognise physical gestures, allowing mobile workers in healthcare and logistics to navigate workflows without touching their devices. This ensures efficiency and maintains hygiene standards in critical environments.
“For healthcare professionals, gesture-based AI means they can access patient records without removing gloves or breaking sterility,” Dyson said. “It’s a small but powerful innovation that enhances efficiency in high-pressure environments.”
2. Hyperautomation Will Reduce Manual Processes
AI-driven automation will continue to eliminate repetitive tasks, particularly in logistics and retail, where it streamlines inventory tracking, route planning, and predictive maintenance.
“Hyperautomation is about more than efficiency, it’s also about empowering mobile workers by removing roadblocks,” explained Dyson. “The ability to automate workflows in real time means fewer delays and greater productivity, which is why companies are turning to solutions like SOTI XSight for real-time operational insights, remote troubleshooting, and predictive device analytics.”
3. Spatial Computing Will Enhance Mobile Workflows
In 2025, spatial computing is set to exceed USD $200 billion as AR, VR, and MR blend digital data with real-world environments. This technology is transforming industries, enabling hands-on training without risk, virtual prototyping, and immersive retail experiences. As adoption grows, spatial computing will redefine how businesses and consumers interact with digital information.
4. AI-Powered Cybersecurity Will Provide Proactive Protection
Cyber threats are becoming more sophisticated, and mobile workers need real-time protection. AI-driven security can detect and neutralise threats before they impact operations.
“Businesses can’t afford to take a reactive approach to cybersecurity,” Dyson said. “With AI-driven monitoring, threats can be identified and mitigated instantly. The SOTI ONE Platform gives businesses the control to remotely lock compromised devices, enforce security policies, and ensure compliance across their entire mobile fleet.”
5. Sustainable Mobility Solutions Will Be a Business Priority
Businesses are investing in technology that reduces waste and extends device lifecycles. Predictive battery management, digital workflows, and remote monitoring tools are key to making mobility more sustainable.
“Extending device life isn’t just good for the environment, it’s smart business,” Dyson noted. “With Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM) solutions, companies can monitor battery performance, prevent unnecessary replacements, and optimise device usage to reduce e-waste while lowering operational costs.”
