StageNow Support

StageNow is Zebra's next generation Android solution for staging Zebra devices and preparing them for production use. Using a barcode scan, NFC tag read, or audio file play, it allows simple profile creation and easy device configuration/deployment, including:

• Connecting your device to a network
• Configuring device settings and security
• Performing OS updates
• Installing and launching applications
• Wiping and resetting the device
• Enrolling into your MDM

The application can be downloaded for free and installed on any Windows 7 PC with no pre-requisite software — no need to purchase, locate, license or install other components.
