Ancla is the platform and the team that helps you enter or scale a device financing business. If your customer stops paying, you lock the device remotely; when they pay, you unlock it. With broad model coverage and direct support — not a reseller's.
The moment the device leaves the store, your collateral walks off with it. Without remote control, every installment sale is a bet that the customer will pay.
The customer stops paying and you're still on the hook for the device's cost. Collecting turns into a long, expensive fight.
Devices resold, IMEIs that vanish, and no trail of who authorized what. You carry all the risk.
Many lock platforms don't handle budget models well — exactly the units that turn over fastest at the point of sale. You end up unable to protect most of your fleet.
Ancla turns every financed device into collateral you can actually act on, whatever the model.
Whether you already finance devices or you only sell them outright today, Ancla is the platform and the partner that supports you end to end: technology, collections and commercial strategy.
You know what delinquency and fraud cost. Add a technical partner that solves what other platforms leave unresolved.
If you already sell devices, financing is the most direct way to scale your business with a much higher margin. We help you enter it successfully.
Ancla gives you remote control over every device you finance: track payments, lock delinquent accounts, and unlock instantly once they pay.
Three steps. No lab, no commands, no black screens.
Add the device by scanning a QR code or plugging it in via USB with a one-click desktop app. Done in seconds.
QR or USBSee your entire fleet in one dashboard: payment status, delinquency and last connection per device, by customer and by store.
Live dashboardOne click pauses a delinquent device; another reactivates it once they pay. Everything gets audited and the customer gets notified.
Remote controlNot a repurposed corporate IT dashboard, and not software sold by a third party. It's the tool and the partner device financing has been missing.
Every finance company or retailer gets its own isolated space, with its own users, devices and data. Set up in minutes, not weeks.
Via reusable QR or USB cable with a one-click desktop app. No IT lab, no black screens, no command lines.
Segregation of duties, a full audit trail, and safeguards against "double payment" or improper unlocks. Security is the priority, not an add-on.
Works with a wide range of devices, including the budget models that turn over fastest at your point of sale. You won't find out the phone you sell the most isn't supported.
Collections, refinancing and store workflows designed around how installment selling actually works, not adapted from a generic corporate playbook.
You talk directly with the team that builds and runs Ancla, not a reseller. No waiting days for a reply while your collections are stalled.
Many device-lock platforms reach the market through resellers, or were built for global corporate IT and adapted later. Here's how Ancla compares on what actually matters when choosing.

Whether you want to enter the business or scale the one you already have.
It means financing a phone or other device and using an MDM to lock it remotely if the customer stops paying, unlocking it once they catch up. It turns the device into actionable collateral and reduces delinquency and fraud. Ancla handles this with enrollment in seconds via QR or USB, direct support, and every action audited.
Yes. If you already sell phones or other devices outright, financing is a way to scale the business with a much better margin. Ancla supports you end to end — technology, collections and commercial strategy — to enter the business successfully.
Ancla has broad model coverage, including budget devices that other lock platforms often leave out and that are usually the highest-turnover units at the point of sale.
