Abstract

A system for securely distributing and managing resources includes a smart device, a resource management device, and a third party system, each having communication interfaces, and memory device, and processing device. In the resource management device, the processing device is configured to: receive from a smart device a set of smart device data via the smart device communication interface; detect within the set of smart device data a subset of data associated with a failure condition of the smart device; and communicate a set of instruction information to a third party system, wherein the instruction information is usable by the third party system to initiate a targeted communication between a host entity system associated with the smart device and the custodian such that maintenance, repair, and/or replacement of the smart device can be effectuated.
