How does Trelica work with Jamf Pro?
Trelica can connect directly to different SaaS tools (like Jamf Pro) to extract up-to-date information about which of your users are using Jamf Pro, and how many devices are assigned to each user.
To integrate with Trelica you will need a Trelica account. If you don't have one then please contact us through our website to get set-up.
