Last week we launched Warp Fabric with our own native MDM.
I debated this decision for months. Everyone said the same thing: license Jamf or JumpCloud, rebrand it, ship faster. It's too hard to build yourself.
We didn't listen.
We wrote the device agent in Rust. Engineered for performance and built for speed as you scale. Cross-platform from day one. macOS and Windows on the same codebase.
Building it ourselves did take longer. It was harder. Here's why we did it anyway.
When you license an MDM, device management lives in a completely separate system from your employee data. Enrollment is a downstream event. Offboarding is a webhook that may or may not fire. Compliance is a seperate dashboard someone has to remember to check.
Because we built our own, the MDM agent has direct access to the same employee context graph that powers payroll, onboarding, and benefits.
Hire someone in Warp. The device enrolls in the same transaction.
Terminate someone. The device locks in the same transaction.
Not a separate workflow. Not a ticket. The same transaction.
Policy enforcement is continuous. Firewall, encryption, screen lock, gatekeeper, verified every time a device connects. When something drifts, you get an alert instead of a surprise during your SOC 2 audit.
There's only one other HRIS company that's built their own MDM.
We understand why. But licensing someone else's MDM means device management always lives downstream from your employee data. It never disappears into the workflow. It stays a separate tool your team has to babysit.
We're building employee management that runs itself. Device management included.
