The key benefits of Single Sign-On (SSO)

Wave goodbye to forgotten usernames and passwords, as users are able to access the platform with just one set of credentials. With frictionless access to everything they need, end users can enjoy a quick, stress-free experience in just one click.

Improve user management and reduce time spent on help desk calls by minimising the risk of forgotten passwords and password resets. In fact, SSO can reduce your login-related help tickets by as much as 75%, freeing up your IT team to focus on more strategic initiatives.

Single sign-on is also advantageous for your system security. With 61% of data breaches involving credentials, SSO reduces the security risk by eliminating the need for users to remember or reuse multiple passwords. Sensitive login credentials are verified by a trusted third party.

With hybrid working set-ups, or organisations who operate across multiple locations, access to working tools is more essential than ever. With single sign-on, users are able to access the platform as seamlessly as possible, losing no time to forgotten passwords or clumsy integrations.

SINGLE SIGN-ON

Getting started

What is Single Sign-On?

Single sign-on (SSO) allows users to log in to multiple platforms using just one set of credentials. Utilising a trusted third party to verify the credentials, SSO strengthens security, simplifies integrations and improves the user experience.

According to single sign-on experts, Okta, SSO makes it 50% faster for users to adopt, log in to and use their apps.

Enabling Single Sign-On (SSO)

Our single sign-on tool is implemented using SAML 2.0 and it’s W3C XML encrypted. This means that it’s compatible with all major systems including Active Directory, Azure AD, Okta, OneLogin, and Shibboleth, as well as any other SAML 2.0 based identity provider.

Set-up is quick and easy and can be configured to work with the multi-factor authentication tool you’re already using within your organisation. Our projects team will enable the feature for you so you can start to utilise the benefits of SSO as soon as possible.

“edays provide a quick and reliable system. It’s not too complicated and it gives employees single sign-on access and we don’t have difficulties with the system ever being down. The back end, administrator panel, within the system is very efficient too, on top of this reporting is made very easy, especially for our two-week holiday policy.”

“edays has been a game-changer for us. It’s not just a holiday management system; it’s a solution that has simplified our processes, improved communication, and given us a holistic view of our team’s availability. I wholeheartedly recommend edays to any organisation looking for a brilliant, easy-to-use system that seamlessly integrates into their workflow.”

Annie Hercus

Proposal Co-ordinator

“Something I always really liked about edays and one of the reasons I brought the software to parkrun was because the service is really good. The implementation, onboarding and training process was all really smooth and helped us to get up-and-running quickly. The team are great and always happy to jump in and help me when needed – they often go above and beyond.

The flexibility and customisation is great, as is being able to manage those more obscure requirements. The employees all really like it too and all find it so much easier having everything all in one place!”

These can then be sent for approval to managers, who can also run reports on working hours in their teams. Overtime can also be tracked, and mandatory breaks can be enforced. edays timesheet software also provides the ability to assign working hours to different projects and activities, for a clear picture on how time is spent in your organisation.

edays time & attendance software is a module that enables organisations to record employee working hours. The software consists of various elements – including the ability to clock in and out, either via desktop or mobile app. Refreshable, printable QR codes can also be placed in different locations and by scanning them, employees can clock in to a certain area or task. Our time tracking software also includes the ability to create and submit online timesheets on a weekly or monthly basis. Timesheets can be submitted to line managers for approval, and reported on on a weekly or monthly basis.

Yes. edays allows you to track any type of planned (e.g. holidays, maternity leave, medical appointments, business trips, time off in lieu (TOIL), etc.) or unplanned absence (e.g. sickness, compassionate leave, unpaid leave, etc.) in a single system. You can also create custom absence types specific to your organisation, such as wellbeing leave, and define rules for how these are to be used and recorded. Learn more about our absence management software.

The return to work process is made faster and more efficient with edays. A reason can be logged alongside an individual’s sickness absence, and for UK employees, relevant NHS guidance can be forwarded on to them to aid in their recovery (see more on our NHS Portal here). You can automatically send a return to work form to an employee who is returning from sickness absence. This is then stored in the employee’s details in edays, alongside any doctor’s fit notes or medical certificates that may be required. Before conducting return to work interviews, managers and HR can review the employee’s records and view any previous absences to be fully equipped ahead of the individual’s return.

edays supports all custom absence types, allowing you to add as many types as you like. You also have the ability to define rules for how these are to be used and managed. Visit our leave management system page to find out more.

Yes. You can configure system alerts to trigger if specific absence conditions are exceeded and automatically notify specified individuals via email immediately. Find out more about the edays sickness tracker.
