I'm building a PWA that can be used only in companie's smartphones.
The simpliest way of beeing sure that the phone belongs to the company and is not a personal one, would be checking the phone's IMEI or serial number in the companie's list.
Nowadays, we create a contact in all companie's phones and check if this contact exists when some device tries to run the PWA. Furthermore, login and password are used for validation and geolocation is checked.
If we could access the phones IMEI, we would change all of this for only one way of checking.
