Every site visit to fix a screen costs time. Remote management turns most of those visits into a click.

## Why it matters

- **Proof it's working.** Screenshots confirm what a screen is actually showing.
- **Fix without travel.** A remote reboot solves most stuck screens.
- **Device-dependent.** Available controls vary by platform, model and permissions, so confirm them on a pilot screen.
