The Volkswagen Group is moving full steam ahead with digitalisation. ONE Business ID is providing companies on a step-by-step basis with access to many useful digital services provided by the Volkswagen Group. Fleet customers, in particular, should take a close look at them.

The digital world is evolving at break-neck speed and is working its way into every aspect of our private and work lives. One key aspect of this evolution is an individual’s digital identity, the key that opens the door to all sorts of online services and applications. One solution that is becoming increasingly essential is a uniform user ID. This ID enables users to authenticate themselves just once and then seamlessly use an array of services. The latest example of this comes from the Volkswagen Group: ONE Business ID – a (primary) ID for companies and the user IDs for individual employees generated by it.

What is ONE Business ID?

Unlike the user recognition process that we have gotten to know in our private lives, ONE Business ID provides authorized companies with access to the B2B ecosystem of the Volkswagen Group. This means one thing: A company – and not individuals – stands behind the ID. But the function is the same. After registering on One Business ID, the organisation administrator and the employees added by him or her (incl. the assignment of roles) are granted access to a variety of digital applications from the Volkswagen Group – and thus to nearly all Group brands.

What benefits does ONE Business ID offer?

The major benefit of ONE Business ID is functionality. With just one ID (double opt-in), a company will be granted access to all activated services offered by the Volkswagen Group’s B2B ecosystem.

This includes the following features:

• Access to the product platform: Access to the Volkswagen Group’s B2B services. These include Fleet Interface, Fleet Ordering, the Skoda Fleet Configurator, the Audi Digital Marketplace and the Volkswagen Group Data Hub.

• Notification service: This service automatically informs all Volkswagen Group B2B services used by a company about changes in relevant organisation profiles.

• Customer support: The team can provide assistance with registration and verification as well as answer all other queries.

• Product and service notifications: Information about products and services that are particularly interesting to a company is provided on this channel.

How can I get a ONE Business ID?

The registration process for ONE Business ID is simple. It just takes a few clicks on its website (desktop/mobile). The verification contains an automatic VAT-ID check¹ and a sanctions-list review to ensure the legitimacy of a company. Approval is generally given and access provided to user management and services within 48 hours.

Companies also have an opportunity to appoint their own organisation administrator. This individual will be responsible for administering individual users and their particular roles. Depending on their individual role, users of ONE Business ID accounts will be given access to various digital applications from the broad spectrum of services offered.
