ShipHero in the news

ShipHero is proud to announce that our team has rolled out a Single Sign-On option, protected by SAML2. This added functionality makes it easy for companies with multiple password-protected programs to sign-on once for full access. No more entering multiple passwords over and over again!

Secure Single Sign On

This new feature was recently rolled out in ShipHero’s mobile app. With the use of the SAML2, SSO is a safe and secure way to pass login credentials to different Identity Providers (IdPs) to use those credentials across connected networks.

To ensure a smooth roll-out, ShipHero’s Development team used themselves as guinea pigs. “The worst case scenario with SSO is locking people out of their own systems,” Yosef Haas, ShipHero’s VP of Product said. “We knew that the best way to test it was to use our own employees as test cases. We want this increased functionality to come with as few hiccups as possible.”

Because SSO requires a bit of maintenance and upkeep on the backend, there is a fee for this added functionality. Non-enterprise clients will be charged $299 per month for this feature.
