The agent

Privileged, preinstalled, yours

A management agent that ships in your image, signs with your key, and reaches deeper into the OS than a sideloaded app ever could.

01

Preinstalled Management Agent

Bake the Hive agent into your system image and every device is fleet-ready the instant it boots: no separate enrollment step, no app for a customer to sideload.

  • System-app installation via your build pipeline
  • Zero-touch enrollment tied to device identity at manufacture
  • Works across your full device lineup from one image recipe
  • Optional white-label console under your own brand
02

Platform-Signed Privileged Agent

Signed with your platform key, the agent runs with system-level privileges most third-party management software never gets near: silent installs, hardware-level lockdown, and commands consumer apps can't issue.

  • System-level permissions granted at the platform layer
  • Silent app install, update, and removal with no user prompts
  • Hardware-level kiosk lockdown, not just launcher tricks
  • Signed command chain from console to device
03

AOSP & Custom-ROM Integration

Building on stock AOSP or a fork you maintain yourself? The agent integrates directly. See the full technical detail on our AOSP & Custom Devices page.

  • No GMS or Play Services dependency required
  • Compatible with custom ROMs and forked AOSP builds
  • OEM SDK for hardware-specific and custom commands
  • Peripheral plugin framework for scanners, printers, and payment hardware
