Fast, secure access management for efficient retail ops.
Large chains, standalone supermarkets, or e-commerce stores - every retail business relies on efficient operations, clear visibility and communication between management and operations, and customer-facing personnel empowered to delight customers. While the retail industry has several types of applications to achieve each of these objectives, identity and access management helps bring it all together.
Access management for streamlined operations
Your retail business runs on data, managed through applications for inventory, supply chain and logistics, vendor management, payment processing, transaction management, PoS, and more. But not all your users need access to all of these applications. Often, your users aren’t even your own employees. They could be representatives of your partners - manufacturers, distributors, shipping partners, and more. Opening up wider-than-needed access in this environment can result in major security gaps.
Akku streamlines the process of implementing role-based access control (RBAC) and granular permission management for your users - at your corporate office, inventory and logistics management, and on the shop floor. It does this by providing a secure user directory to manage all your users across locations, a single sign-on that makes user access seamless, and a centralized platform to manage roles and permissions.
Make access easy for your users across locations, and simplify centralized control of user permissions for your admins with Akku’s Cloud Directory, SSO/IDP , and User Lifecycle Manager.
Effortless and effective user lifecycle management
With large numbers of locations and significantly large corporate operations, managing the different stages of the user lifecycle in the retail industry is hugely complex. From onboarding through employee operations to exit, it is often IAM that ensures your users are able to work efficiently in their roles.
Akku makes every stage of retail user lifecycle management seamless.
Onboarding users and provisioning access is handled automatically and in minutes.
Updates to access permissions and role changes through the user’s employment with the company takes just a couple of clicks.
Large numbers of password reset and recovery requests that would bog down your IT admin team are now eliminated completely with Akku’s self-service password management.
Employee exits, and ensuring all access is revoked when a user leaves the organization, is again a matter of a few clicks through the user directory.
Manage your large, distributed retail workforce with centralized administration using Akku’s Cloud Directory, SSO/IDP, and Password Manager.
