How SSO Simplifies Identity Management For Deskless And Frontline Workforces
Security Boulevard, Tuesday, February 17th, 2026
Most enterprise software is built for office workers. Employees who sit at a desk, use a personal laptop, and have a company email address. But a large portion of the global workforce does not fit that model.
Frontline and deskless workers make up nearly 80% of the global labor force. These are employees in manufacturing plants, hospitals, retail stores, warehouses, and call centers. They often share devices, work in shifts, and have limited access to email or personal workstations.
Managing digital identities for this group is a real challenge. Traditional identity systems were not designed for high-turnover, shared-device environments. That's where Single Sign-On (SSO) becomes a practical solution.
