How Hubbl added enterprise SSO without refactoring

No items found.

Hubbl is a Denmark-based platform built to spark meaningful connections among colleagues, both during and beyond work hours. Whether it’s walk-and-talks or spontaneous chats, Hubbl fosters real connections at workplace among colleagues.

As momentum grew, so did attention from larger organizations with more sophisticated IT and compliance expectations. To serve these enterprise customers, Hubbl needed secure, scalable identity management. Single Sign-on was non-negotiable and many prospects specifically asked for integrations with identity providers like Microsoft Entra ID.

There was just one catch. Hubbl was using Firebase for auth. Building SSO inhouse would derail months of momentum.

The challenge? Find an SSO solution that could integrate seamlessly with their existing Firebase architecture, without the development overhead.

Why Scalekit stood out as the clear choice for Enterprise SSO

The team evaluated solutions like Auth0, WorkOS, and FusionAuth but found them too heavy for their lightweight architecture needs, with some lacking Firebase support. Scalekit stood out right away with simplified configuration and clearly documented Firebase integration.

With Scalekit’s OpenID Connect support, the team was able to add enterprise SSO as a provider inside Firebase . No hacks, no hidden complexity. Thanks to crisp developer guides, Hubbl had Entra ID up and running in just a few days, fully tested and ready to roll.

“Our customers needed Hubbl to offer enterprise SSO, but our stack was already locked in. Scalekit let us extend our offering without dismantling what we had built.The integration was fast, easy, and exactly what we needed.”
Emil, Founder of Hubbl

In the live setup, Scalekit acts as an OpenID Connect (OIDC) provider to Firebase. When a user signs in, authentication flows through Scalekit to the customer’s identity provider, and the user is routed back into the app, fully authenticated.

Scalekit also supports IdP-initiated SSO, allowing users to log in directly from their company portals without additional configuration. This makes Hubbl directly discoverable within enterprise identity providers for customers who prefer that flow.

The team also tapped into custom attribute mapping, which let them pull in key fields like department, job title, and office location. This opened the door to personalized user experiences and made sure identity data stayed aligned with enterprise policies.

Another big win was the admin portal, which gave Hubbl’s customers full control to set up and manage their own SSO configurations. It cut out the back-and-forth repetitive configurations and freed up Hubbl’s developers to focus on building product, not handling support tickets.

And while flexibility mattered, so did trust. Scalekit checked the right boxes on compliance too, with full GDPR alignment and a transparent Trust Center that gave customers the confidence they needed to move forward.

Results: Faster deployments, empowered teams, and enterprise-ready features

“It's the most simple and easily understandable platform we could find for implementing enterprise SSO in our service. It's free to get started and they have the best customer support I have experienced when compared to some of their major competitors.”
Emil, Founder of Hubbl

With Scalekit, Hubbl was able to:

✅ Closed enterprise deals that were earlier blocked with SSO
✅ Integrated SSO without changing their Firebase auth
✅ Enabled enterprise features like IdP-initiated SSO and custom user attributes
✅ Empowered customers to self-configure SSO via a self-serve admin portal

Why Scalekit?

  • Developer-first SDKs: Built for modern stacks with tailored Firebase documentation
  • Enterprise-grade compliance: GDPR-ready with transparent security practices
  • Built to scale: One integration supports social login, SSO, and future growth
  • Cost-effective: A high-value alternative to complex, expensive legacy providers

The bottom line

For Hubbl, going upmarket meant meeting enterprise expectations without losing product momentum. Scalekit helped them do just that. In a matter of days, they turned an enterprise SSO requirement into a launch-ready feature—with no rewrites, no delays, and no compromise.

"We didn’t want to build auth. Scalekit gave us a production-ready setup with minimal dev effort and the flexibility to scale as we grow."
