At ShiftControl, we understand that managing SaaS tools, user access, and security can be overwhelming for growing businesses. We’ve created a platform that simplifies IT and security management, so you can focus on what you do best—building your business.

ShiftControl is an all-in-one solution designed to make managing your tech stack simple and secure. Our platform offers:

Unified admin dashboard: Control all your SaaS tools, users, and permissions from a single interface.
Employee portal: Provide your team with intuitive access to the tools they need.
Secure login features: Protect your data with single sign-on (SSO), password management and multi-factor authentication (MFA).

We also optimize Google Workspace by implementing secure, well-configured defaults. This allows you to leverage its full potential without compromising security, ensuring a seamless and safe experience for your team.

Why Do You Need ShiftControl?

As your team grows, juggling multiple SaaS tools and managing user access becomes increasingly complex and risky. ShiftControl addresses these challenges by:

Centralizing SaaS management: Keep all your tools, users, and permissions organized in one place.

By streamlining these aspects, ShiftControl reduces the hassle and risks associated with scattered user access and unmanaged SaaS tools.

We believe that the earlier your company starts with proper SaaS and user management, the more secure and efficient your operations will be. But it’s never too late to make a positive change.
