Improve and scale identity, governance, and access management

VYou helps organizations regardless of the industry to create a single view of the customer, reducing friction at user management and access management system, maintaining privacy and building trusted relationships.

Here are the most common VYou use cases that can be segmented by industry, but also can be beneficial to any company that searches for a secure and scalable user management and access management system that can be integrated in an easy and fast way.

Use Case: Nestlé

Overview

The process of checking the stock level at Nestlé is done manually and in order to do that Nestle and Apiumhub have partnered since 2016 to develop an app called Inshelf ( available in Google Play and Apple Store) , so human agents have a tool to quickly check and report stock levels in store by scanning the barcodes of the products.

The previous version of Inshelf had a very limited user management system, which lacked some features such as social login that would make the onboarding of new stock levent agents on the field much easier.
This process is critical and in order to do that, Nestlé put its trust in VYou, developed by Apiumhub, given the approach of VYou to ease the integration process as much as possible.

Goals

  • Replace the previous user management system with VYou in::
    – Inshelf backoffice
    – Inshelf Android app
    – Inshelf iOS app
  • Deploy a VYou instance to manage user authentication and authorization on the Azure cluster of Inshelf for the backoffice and the client apps
  • Do all this process in less than 2 weeks

Challenges

  • Time
    • Inshelf is a live product, so the availability of the platform was not negotiable. 
    • The process had to be really fast because that was a key factor why VYou was chosen.
  • Technology
    • VYou is designed as a multiplatform service on premise, but this was our first live project for an external customer to be deployed on Azure

    • We did it in 2 weeks
  • Seamless user experience
    • The existing users only had to update the app version and setup a new password
  • Seamless refactor
    • The whole process was transparent to the nestle staff involved in inshelf
