Single Sign-On mit PROLAG World

The integration of single sign-on (SSO) into PROLAG World marks a significant step forward in warehouse IT. With this powerful feature, CIM allows seamless integration of the warehouse management system (WMS) into existing IT infrastructures in a centralized, standardized and secure manner. For users, SSO means faster, frictionless access to all connected systems with just one login. For IT teams, it delivers major efficiency gains through centralized user rights and access management. But what does this mean for day-to-day operations on the warehouse floor?

What exactly is single sign-on?

Single sign-on is like a fast lane through your company’s digital landscape – a faster way to move from one tool to the next. Instead of logging in separately to your WMS, ERP, time tracking, support or production systems, SSO gives you instant access to everything with just one secure login. As companies rely on more and more digital tools, switching between systems can become a daily frustration. Single sign-on allows users to move seamlessly between applications without repeatedly entering usernames, passwords or client data. Behind the scenes, IT teams implement a central authentication system that securely connects all supported software. Once authenticated, users can navigate across platforms with ease, saving time, reducing errors and enhancing productivity. For new employees, SSO dramatically simplifies onboarding. There’s no more setting up separate logins for each system and fewer chances of incorrect access. And with PROLAG World’s web-based interface, logging in becomes not only easier, but safer and far more efficient.

The hidden cost of passwords

For system administrators, maintaining security and compliance across a growing landscape of software tools is no small task. But frequent password entry is still common in many companies and introduces a significant security vulnerability. Users tend to choose passwords that are easy to remember, not necessarily secure. While convenient, these intuitive passwords create weak points in the company’s IT infrastructure. For IT teams, this leads to an ongoing cycle of resets, support requests and security headaches. Every forgotten password means lost time, frustrated employees and added pressure on the helpdesk. And with separate login credentials for each system, access rights must be managed individually, multiplying administrative effort.

Greater security and centralized control with single sign-on

This is where single sign-on truly shows its power. By connecting PROLAG World to trusted identity providers such as Microsoft Azure AD, Keycloak or Okta, businesses can achieve both stronger security and simpler user management. Using the industry-standard OpenID Connect authentication protocol, PROLAG World securely requests access authorization via tokens issued by the connected identity provider. Once verified, the system grants access automatically, transferring all necessary user information in a smooth and secure workflow. But it goes beyond login credentials. With single sign-on, IT teams can centrally manage access rights and compliance rules across all connected systems.

The advantages of SSO in PROLAG World

• Significant time savings in warehouse workflows – ‘Employees used to lose around 5 minutes per shift logging in — with 12 team members, that’s a full hour wasted every day,’ says Pirmin Weber, project manager at CIM.
• Stronger security without compromise – Centralized authentication via trusted identity providers enforces consistent password policies, enables two-factor authentication and allows for immediate account blocking, all GDPR-compliant and audit-ready.
• Less training required – new employees only need to remember one secure password. With fewer credentials to manage, onboarding becomes faster, complexity drops and the risk of login-related errors is significantly reduced. Centralized access management ensures that the right people have the right permissions from day one.
• Reduced IT workload – Say goodbye to constant password resets and duplicated user profiles. User management is done once and applies across all connected systems. PROLAG World supports integration with leading identity providers such as Microsoft Azure AD, Keycloak and Okta, ensuring smooth deployment into your existing IT landscape.

Conclusion: A small feature with a big impact

The introduction of single sign-on in PROLAG World is more than a technical enhancement. It also improves efficiency and security in day-to-day warehouse operations. In complex IT environments with multiple applications and frequent personnel changes, the value of a central login system is clear: Less hassle and more time to focus on what really matters — delivering efficient, reliable logistics.
