Overview > Okta for Retail

In today’s volatile climate, being able to quickly switch between suppliers has never been more critical for delivering seamless retail experiences.

Okta’s identity solutions speed up the onboarding and deprovisioning of your suppliers, partners and franchisees, with a cloud-based portal for seamless connection and collaboration, and a rigorous identity layer as a secure front door.
