Case Study: Richards Building Supply achieves stronger security and streamlined IT access management with OneLogin

Optimizing access management for improved security

Richards Building Supply, a 950‑employee wholesale distributor serving construction companies at more than 60 U.S. locations, doubled in size over the past decade. With rapid growth and early cloud adoption, IT needed stronger protection for systems and applications while keeping access simple and productive for employees, so the company sought a modern identity and access management partner.

Richards implemented OneLogin Workforce Identity—using MFA, SmartFactor Authentication, SSO, Advanced Directory and Identity Lifecycle Management integrated with HR‑driven identity—to enable context‑aware authentication, automated provisioning and full visibility into access events. The result was stronger security with frictionless user experiences, faster onboarding (saving at least three hours of IT time per user), improved threat detection and recognition as an industry leader in access management.
