Esper overview

What is Esper?

Esper is a modern device infrastructure platform purpose-built to manage fleets of dedicated devices across high-stakes environments—retail, restaurants, logistics, healthcare, manufacturing, and more.

Unlike legacy MDMs retrofitted for the frontline, Esper spans both the OS and the control plane, giving IT and DevOps teams deep visibility, real-time control, and precision across the full device lifecycle.

From kiosks and digital signage to rugged handhelds and edge AI, Esper brings DevOps-style automation to the device edge with:

• Esper Device Management – Simplified provisioning, policy enforcement, continuous deployment, and powerful APIs that connect cloud to edge.

• Esper Foundation OS – A modern Android-based OS that revives aging x86 hardware and supports select ARM systems—built for security, performance, and scale at the edge

Esper empowers teams to deploy applications, enforce compliance, and proactively resolve issues—without relying on fragile scripts or manual processes. With native support across Android, iOS, and Linux, Esper brings centralized control to even the most diverse device environments, reducing downtime and operational risk at scale.

Key benefits of using Esper

Seamless Provisioning:
Esper eliminates manual device setup through zero-touch provisioning. Devices automatically enroll, configure, and deploy the moment they power on, reducing resource drain, eliminating setup errors, and accelerating time-to-value.

Simplified Compliance & Policy Enforcement (Esper Blueprints):
Esper Blueprints allow teams to set desired device policy ranges (as blueprints) across an entire fleet or group of devices instantly. Devices that drift out of settings are easily and instantly put back in check, allowing teams to manage by exception. This keeps fleets compliant, up-to-date, and easy to manage — even across thousands of devices.

App & Software Lifecycle Management:
Esper gives teams full control over application deployment — by region, store, device group, or schedule — ensuring updates are tested, approved, and delivered without disruption. With Esper Pipelines, DevOps teams can manage deployments to edge devices with the same rigor as cloud environments, enabling safe rollouts, staged testing, and rollback strategies to mitigate risk.

Cloud-Native API & SDK Infrastructure:
Esper exposes a complete suite of RESTful APIs integrated along with an SDK available on Esper-managed devices for use by our customers’ applications to support real-time cloud-to-device orchestration. This infrastructure enables customers to embed Esper into CI/CD pipelines, IT service management platforms, or custom tools — turning device management into an automated, programmable layer of their infrastructure.
