NATIVE TOOLKIT

Bring Native Capabilities to Enterprise Web Applications

Native Toolkit gives enterprise web applications running in managed Chrome controlled access to native endpoint capabilities such as enterprise printing and session management.

Cross-Platform Endpoint Support

The native capability gap

Enterprise applications moved to the browser. Critical workflows still depend on the endpoint.

Modern enterprise applications are moving to Chrome, but important workflows still depend on local device capabilities.

Enterprise Printing

RAW data, labels, PDFs and controlled print settings.

Labels, PDFs and barcode documents feeding into an enterprise label printer.

Session Management

Logout coordination, browser cleanup and shared workstation handoffs.

A browser session cycling through sign-out, cleanup and handover to the next user.

Native Endpoint Capabilities

Approved local actions that standard web pages cannot perform directly.

A browser window connected to approved local device capabilities.

Introducing Native Toolkit

A governed bridge between trusted enterprise web applications and approved native capabilities on managed endpoints.

Without Native Toolkit

An enterprise web application in managed Chrome blocked at the browser security boundary, unable to reach native printing and device capabilities.

Native Toolkit

Approved Native
Capabilities

One platform. Multiple enterprise workflows.

Keep the web application. Add the native capabilities.

Enterprise Printing

Bring advanced printing directly into browser workflows.

  • Silent Printing

    Submit supported print jobs without displaying the standard browser print dialog.

  • RAW Printing

    Send printer-native commands such as ZPL, EPL and IPL to compatible specialized printers.

  • PDF & Browser Printing

    Print documents and browser-rendered content from enterprise workflows.

  • Printer Intelligence

    Discover available printers and supported printer capabilities.

  • Per-Job Control

    Apply supported settings such as tray, copies, duplex, color, and DPI.

Session Management

Support safer browser-context transitions in shared enterprise environments.

Native Toolkit allows approved web applications to request policy-controlled browser actions when a user logs out or an application session expires.

Native Toolkit can support policy-driven actions such as:

  • Application-triggered logout

  • Active / idle evaluation where applicable

  • Policy-controlled tab cleanup

  • Policy-controlled cookie cleanup

  • Policy-controlled protected-domain handling

  • Browser-context cleanup for shared workstation transitions

  • Execution status returned to the application

One platform. Multiple enterprise workflows.

Extending managed Chrome with approved native capabilities

Build on Chrome Enterprise with the native capabilities your workflows still need.

Built around real clinical workflows

When the clinical application is in the browser but the workflow still reaches the physical world.

  • Print patient wristbands directly from a clinical web application to the appropriate specialized printer.

    A nurse at a bedside workstation printing a patient wristband.
  • Send approved RAW formats such as ZPL, EPL or IPL to thermal printers used for clinical and laboratory workflows.

    A laboratory technician printing specimen labels from a browser-based application.
  • Print application-generated PDFs and browser-rendered reports without disrupting the user workflow.

    A clinician printing an application-generated report at a desk workstation.
  • Coordinate browser-context cleanup when one clinician logs out before another begins using the same workstation.

    Two clinicians handing over a shared workstation.
  • Apply policy-controlled tab and cookie cleanup when an application session expires.

Frequently Asked Questions

Native Toolkit is a governed native capability layer that connects approved enterprise web applications running in managed Chrome with supported capabilities on managed endpoints. Its current capability areas include enterprise printing and session management.

Yes. Native Toolkit is designed for managed Chrome browser environments and can operate within organizations using Chrome Enterprise Core or Chrome Enterprise Premium. Enterprise policies are used to govern application access and supported Native Toolkit behavior.

Native Toolkit is designed for Windows, macOS and Linux endpoint environments.
Linux deployment supports Ubuntu and Debian environments.
Supported capabilities may vary by operating system and Native Toolkit release.

Native Toolkit uses platform-specific packaging:

  • Windows - MSI
  • Linux - DEB
  • macOS - PKG

This allows the Native Toolkit Host to fit into standard enterprise software deployment processes.

Yes. Native Toolkit enables approved web applications to support browser printing and silent printing workflows, including RAW, PDF, and browser-rendered output, without relying only on the standard Chrome print experience.

Yes. Native Toolkit supports RAW printing from web applications, including printer commands such as ZPL, EPL, and IPL for compatible specialized and thermal printers.

Native Toolkit can coordinate logout, session timeout, tab cleanup, cookie cleanup, and protected domains based on configured enterprise policies. This is useful for shared workstations and multi-user environments.

Native Toolkit can support workflows such as enterprise browser printing, label and wristband printing, clinical document printing, shared workstation logout, and browser-session cleanup. Its architecture can also provide a foundation for additional approved native capabilities.

Bring the native workflow into the browser

Your enterprise application is already on the web. Bring the endpoint capabilities it still needs.

From specialized printing and session management to browser cleanup and controlled endpoint actions, Native Toolkit provides a governed way to connect browser-based applications with managed endpoints.
