Apple Business Manager

What is Apple Business Manager (ABM) and Why Does It Matter?

If you're purchasing Apple devices (like MacBooks or iPads) through the Electric Hardware Store, Apple Business Manager (ABM) is a must-have.

What is ABM?

Apple Business Manager is a FREE Apple service that helps your organization securely manage Apple devices—without touching them. It allows Electric to automatically enroll new devices into your Mobile Device Management (MDM) solution the moment they ship.

Why You Should Set It Up:

  • Zero-Touch Deployment: Devices arrive pre-configured and ready for your employees—no IT setup required

  • Stronger Security: Devices are locked to your organization and can’t be factory reset and reused by someone else

  • Automatic MDM Enrollment: Ensures every Apple device is enrolled into your security policies and monitored from day one

  • Faster Onboarding: New hires can power on and go, without waiting for manual setup

How to Get Started

Need to know how to enroll? Follow the instructions on the How to Enroll in Apple Business Manager page.
