WorkOS is an API platform that helps SaaS companies add enterprise features — SSO (SAML, OIDC), Directory Sync (SCIM), and Audit Logs — that enterprise customers require. Instead of building SAML integrations for every Fortune 500 customer (which can take months), SaaS teams use WorkOS to add enterprise SSO in a day. Used by Vercel, Loom, and Drata to close enterprise deals faster.
