Definition & Explanation

With Single Sign-On (SSO), users authenticate once and gain access to multiple linked systems without repeated login. In logistics IT environments, SSO significantly improves efficiency: freight forwarders, warehouse operators, and shippers use a single login to access transportation management systems (TMS), warehouse management systems (WMS), and digital customs documentation platforms. This reduces forgotten passwords and administrative burden on IT support in international logistics facilities. At ports or customs borders, SSO saves time when systems are handed over between different parties.
