Scenario
Executive in a tight-knit frum community, runs an import/export business with operations in New York, Tel Aviv, Antwerp, and Panama. Travels 40+ weeks/year. Previously used a regular iPhone with a basic filter — worked fine at home but repeatedly failed during long solo hotel stays abroad. Came to us asking for something "I don't have to fight with when I'm tired at the airport."
Our approach
Premium plan — single supervised iPhone, comprehensive business whitelist, priority support:
- Banking apps (Chase, Bank of Israel-compatible carriers, Wise for international transfers) - Maps + Uber + Lyft + local ride apps for 6 countries - Email + calendar (Outlook) - Video conferencing (Zoom, Teams, FaceTime) - International messaging (iMessage, approved WhatsApp modes via our filteredwhatsapp integration) - Minyan Finder (the 59k-minyan KolBo database — critical for finding a minyan in any city he lands in) - Hebrew siddur with his nusach (Sefard) - No browser (removed via Supervised Mode). No social media. No App Store.
Outcome
One year in. Customer reports: "The first night in a hotel room that didn't end with me fighting my phone." Supervised Mode held through 40+ business trips. Two urgent app-add requests handled mid-trip in under 2 hours each (a new airline app, a client's custom CRM). Zero bypass attempts flagged — not because he tried and failed, but because the surface to try wasn't there.
