Switching between devices during a busy workday can feel like hitting pause on your momentum. Logging in, reopening apps, and setting up your workspace again and again eats up precious time. ChromeOS Desk Sync changes that by letting you seamlessly pick up where you left off, no matter which ChromeOS device you’re using. Your open windows, tabs, apps, and profile settings—along with your logins to web services—follow you effortlessly from one device to another, keeping your workflow smooth and uninterrupted.
Empowering Frontline Workers Across Industries
ChromeOS Desk Sync is a game-changer for frontline workers in industries like retail, hospitality, healthcare, and manufacturing, where shared devices and frequent device switches are common. Here’s how it makes a difference:
Retail and Hospitality: Smoother Shifts, Happier Customers
In fast-paced environments like retail and hospitality, Desk Sync streamlines shift changes and enhances customer interactions. Employees can grab any available ChromeOS device and instantly access their tools—whether it’s for managing inventory, communicating with the team, or processing sales. For example, front desk staff at hotels can jump into guest check-in systems or service requests without reconfiguring a device, ensuring guests enjoy a seamless experience. This cuts down wait times, boosts service quality, and helps new employees get up to speed faster in shared-device settings.
Take Village Hotels, for instance. Their leisure center staff use shared Chromebooks to guide prospective members through tours and complete applications on the spot. With Desk Sync, employees enjoy a consistent experience across devices, ensuring no hiccups disrupt their customer interactions.
“ChromeOS has transformed how we operate, making collaboration effortless and keeping our devices, data, and people secure. It’s hard to imagine working without it.”
— Dan Morley, Head of IT Infrastructure and Service Delivery, Village Hotels
Healthcare: More Time for Patients, Less for Logins
In healthcare, where every second counts, Desk Sync optimizes critical tasks. Doctors, nurses, and staff can move between patient rooms, nurse stations, or other departments, instantly accessing electronic health records, diagnostic tools, or communication platforms on any ChromeOS device. This consistency reduces setup time and minimizes the risk of data errors or security gaps. By simplifying logins and system navigation, Desk Sync lets healthcare professionals focus on what matters most: delivering high-quality patient care.
Manufacturing: Keeping Production on Track
For manufacturing teams, Desk Sync ensures smoother handoffs and continuous operations. Workers and supervisors can switch between workstations and instantly access real-time data, quality control tools, or production dashboards. During shift changes, teams can get up and running quickly, minimizing downtime. This efficiency translates to more time on the production floor, fewer disruptions, and better overall output.

By eliminating the friction of device switching, it saves time, reduces frustration, and keeps employees focused on their core tasks.
