Single sign-on (SSO) capabilities – allowing users to access all their systems with one login – are emerging as a significant trend within the fleet software sector, reports FleetCheck.
Increasingly, users want the ability to switch easily from one platform to another on their screen through a series of advanced integrations, explained CEO Peter Golding.
“We’re being asked more and more often to look at ways fleets can move between applications – such as our fleet management software and tachograph analysis.
“The best way to do this is through Single Sign-On (SSO). Users log in once and can access all their systems without needing multiple usernames and passwords. Data can be automatically integrated, and transitioning between different applications is just a click away.”
FleetCheck’s first major project in this area is a single sign-on with tachograph provider VDO. This is believed to be an industry first for fleets in the UK, with one fully joined-up system to manage every aspect of fleet compliance without the need to have separate systems open. Some fleet managers have referred to it as a “day-to-day fleet operational bible.”
Peter said: “This is more than a simple data import – using SSO, users can access all compliance information in one location, integrating data collected from VDO tachographs and FleetCheck’s software, including walkaround checks and maintenance records.
“It delivers a unified method for Driver Hours compliance, reduces administrative workload, and enhances management of fleet operations, as well as streamlining the process for meeting Earned Recognition requirements.”
The response from customers had been positive and FleetCheck was keen to create more relationships of this kind, he added. “This area offers significant potential for fleet software and we look forward to collaborating with other suppliers on further SSO integrations.”
