On the one hand, it makes devices more affordable for customers. On the other, it leaves retailers exposed to customers who stop paying after taking the phone home.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Instead of focusing on new sales, many retailers find themselves chasing late EMIs, making endless calls, and worrying about recoveries. And when customers default, it doesn\u2019t just reduce profits; it drains the time and energy that should be going into growing the business.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is where a <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">smart device lock<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> comes in.
