ChargeItSpot

What ChargeItSpot does

ChargeItSpot, LLC is a Philadelphia-based enterprise technology company that, since a 2021 pivot from consumer mobile charging services, operates the ARC (Asset Resource Control) platform — a secure, self-service kiosk system that lets employees at large multi-location organizations check out, return, and track job-issued mobile devices such as handhelds, scanners, and tablets. The platform is designed to reduce device theft and shrink, cut time spent managing device fleets, and lower overstock inventory, with company-reported outcomes of 93% reduction in device shrink, 84% less time spent managing devices, and 75% less overstock inventory required.

ARC is deployed primarily with large retail enterprises (Sam's Club, lululemon, Walmart Canada, Gap Inc.) and logistics operators (DHL, Hillman), with Sam's Club highlighted as a flagship model store running checkout-free operations powered by ARC-managed devices. The company generates revenue through hardware sales of the ARC kiosk units combined with recurring software/subscription revenue for device management and monitoring services. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and follows a custom enterprise quote model scaled to the number of locations (1-10 to 200+) and devices per location (under 10 to 1,000+), billed annually.

ChargeItSpot is a privately held, venture-backed company employing 11-50 people at its Philadelphia headquarters (190 N Independence Mall W, Suite 601). Lifetime disclosed funding totals roughly $35 million across multiple rounds since 2012, with the largest raise of $19.8 million closed in October 2024 led by SoundBoard Venture Fund and earmarked for expansion of ARC into retail and adjacent sectors. The go-to-market is a direct enterprise field-sales motion with no disclosed channel or reseller partners.

Emerging players

• KioWare: KioWare is a kiosk software vendor that locks down devices into kiosk mode for retail, hospitality, and self-service deployments. It is comparable to ARC at the device-software layer for shared/kiosk-style use cases, particularly in retail, though it does not include locker hardware or fleet management.
• Esper: Esper is a dedicated Android device management platform purpose-built for dedicated devices and kiosks in retail, logistics, healthcare, and restaurants. It overlaps with ARC's focus on securing and managing shared employee devices, but is software-only and does not include physical locker hardware.
• 42Gears: 42Gears provides unified endpoint management and kiosk lockdown software for Android, iOS, and Windows devices used by retail and field-service enterprises. It addresses similar device-security and management use cases as ARC, especially for shared and kiosk-mode devices, and serves as a software-only alternative.
• Hexnode (Mitsogo): Hexnode is a unified endpoint management platform with strong kiosk-mode and shared-device capabilities used by retail, healthcare, and education customers. It competes with ARC on shared-device management for multi-location enterprises but does not include physical locker hardware.

Broad incumbents

• Zebra Technologies: Zebra provides rugged mobile computing hardware, barcode scanners, and device-management software (Zebra DNA, Mobility Extensions/Mx) widely deployed in retail and logistics. It is comparable to ARC in addressing frontline device fleets at large retailers and logistics firms, but competes primarily through hardware rather than a dedicated self-service kiosk platform.
• Microsoft Intune: Intune is Microsoft's cloud-based MDM/MAM platform bundled into the Microsoft 365 ecosystem and used by large enterprises to manage Windows, iOS, and Android devices. It competes for the same enterprise device-management budget as ARC, but as part of a much broader productivity and security suite rather than a retail-focused kiosk solution.
• VMware Workspace ONE (now Omnissa): Workspace ONE is a unified endpoint management platform for managing employee devices across operating systems and form factors, with deep penetration in regulated enterprises and retail. It is comparable to ARC in addressing multi-location device fleets but competes as a broader enterprise IT platform.
• Samsung Knox: Samsung Knox provides device-level security and management tools for Samsung Android devices, widely used by retailers and logistics firms deploying rugged handhelds and tablets. It competes with ARC for device security and management mindshare in the same enterprise retail/logistics customer base.

Direct peers

• Jamf: Jamf is a leading Apple-focused enterprise mobility management (MDM) platform used by retailers, healthcare, and education to secure and manage employee devices at scale. Like ChargeItSpot/ARC, Jamf targets multi-location enterprises managing large fleets of frontline and corporate devices, although Jamf is software-only.
• SOTI: SOTI is an enterprise mobility management vendor with strong penetration in retail, logistics, and transportation managing rugged and frontline devices. It directly competes with ARC for multi-location device-management deployments in retail and logistics, though SOTI is software-only and does not offer a locker hardware layer.
