CUSTOMER PORTAL

Customer portal and private area: documents, orders and requests in one place

A logged-in area where customers, members or dealers find their documents, orders, price lists and cases, and contact you without going through email. Data comes straight from your ERP.

Customer portal: the short answer

A customer portal is part of your website, or a separate application, that people access with a personal account. Each user sees only what concerns them: invoices and documents, order or case status, dedicated price lists, contracts, open requests. URETECH designs it around the people who use it and where the data lives today, usually the ERP, and connects it so nobody uploads the same file twice.

For simple needs, such as a members area or a folder of private documents, Wix or WordPress member areas are enough. When you need different roles, ERP data or approval flows, we build a custom portal. You find the price in the quote after the free analysis.

What happens without a private area

Documents sent one at a time

Invoices, delivery notes, certificates and contracts go out by email by hand; customers cannot find them and ask again.

Calls to ask for an update

Only people in the office know the status of an order or case, and every question interrupts their work.

Price lists sent as PDFs

Every dealer has different terms and the right price list sits in an attachment from six months ago.

Shared logins

One password for everyone, no record of who saw what, personal data exposed.

WHO USES IT

Who a portal is for, and what they find

Who logs inWhat they findWhere the data comes from
Clients of firms and service companiesdocuments, deadlines, cases, requestspractice management software, document archive
Dealers and agentsdedicated price lists, availability, orders, sales materialERP
Customers of manufacturersorder status, delivery notes, certificates, spare partsERP and warehouse
Membersfees, documents, bookings, announcementsmember register or CRM
Subscription customerscontracts, renewals, support requestsCRM and billing

For each type of user we define roles and permissions: who sees prices, who can order, who approves, who only sees documents for their own site.

What goes into the portal

Features are chosen based on who uses it.

Access per user and role

Personal accounts, two-step verification, permissions by company, site and role, access log.

Documents from the ERP

Invoices, delivery notes, contracts and certificates published automatically, with search and download.

Orders and dedicated price lists

Each customer’s own prices and terms, reorder from history. For full online selling, see B2B e-commerce.

Requests and cases

Support or quote requests with status visible to the customer and a notification at every step.

Member areas

Fees, renewals, private documents and announcements for associations and clubs.

Connected to ERP and CRM

APIs of the ERP, CRM or document archive: data updates itself.

TICKETING AND REQUESTS

Ticketing and request management portal

When requests come in by email, over the phone and on WhatsApp, some slip through and nobody is quite sure where things stand. A ticketing portal turns every request into a ticket with a number, an owner and a deadline: customers open it and keep track of it, and your team works from a single, orderly queue.

Requests opened by the customer

Customers open a request from the portal and pick the type: support, complaint, return, technical or sales question. Each type has its own fields, they can attach photos, documents or the order number, and the status stays visible until the ticket is closed. Everyone sees their own tickets; the company’s main contact sees their colleagues’ too.

Categories, priorities and assignment

Tickets go straight to the right person or team, based on category, product or customer. Priority follows clear rules (a machine that has stopped can’t wait like a pricing question) and can always be changed by hand. Internal notes stay between your staff and are never shown to the customer.

SLAs, deadlines and reports

For each type of request or contract you set response and resolution times. A reminder goes out before the deadline, and once it passes the ticket moves up to a manager. Reports show open and closed tickets, average response times and the most common reasons, by customer or by agent.

Email replies linked to the ticket

Agents reply from the portal and the customer gets an email; if they answer from their own inbox, the message lands back in the same ticket. No more threads scattered across personal mailboxes: each customer has a full history of requests, replies and attachments, easy to follow even for someone new to the account.

Connected to your CRM and ERP

Each ticket is linked to the customer, order, contract or product. For a return, the agent sees straight away what was sold and when; for a service call, whether the support contract is still active. We connect it to the ERP you already use or to a custom CRM, with no data copied by hand.

Tickets from chat, WhatsApp and phone

Not every customer logs into the portal. An AI chatbot on your website or on WhatsApp collects the details and opens the ticket, and an AI receptionist does the same for callers, out of hours too. The ticket joins the queue like any other, with the conversation attached.

Ticketing can be built into the portal from scratch, or set up on a tool you already have: if your company runs Odoo, we configure Odoo Helpdesk and connect it to the rest of your systems as an Odoo System Integrator.

Customer portal, web app or B2B e-commerce?

A customer portal is the meeting point between the company and the people who work with it: documents, case status, requests, price lists. If the heart of the project is selling to dealers, with a cart, credit limits and payment terms, the right route is B2B e-commerce. If you need an internal tool for your departments, such as a web-based management system or an intranet, that is a custom web app.

Projects often overlap: a dealer portal may have an ordering section, a B2B store a documents area. In the analysis we decide where to start, so you only pay for the features you will actually use.

Customer portal FAQ

In practice none: both are parts of the site you reach with an account. We call it a portal when there are many features and data linked to the ERP.
Yes, for simple areas: private documents, members area, content for subscribers. When you need complex roles or live ERP data, a custom portal is the better choice.
Yes, if the ERP has an API, web services or an export option. We work with Odoo, TeamSystem, Zucchetti, SAP Business One and other systems.
Yes. The portal can include a ticket area where customers open support requests, complaints, returns or sales questions and follow their status. On your side you get categories, priorities, assignment to the right agent and deadlines with reminders, and every email reply stays linked to its ticket. It can be custom-built or set up on existing tools such as Odoo Helpdesk.
Yes, as long as your CRM and ERP have APIs or some way to exchange data. Each ticket is linked to the customer, order or contract, so agents see the history straight away and can check the order behind a return without switching programs. An AI chatbot and an AI receptionist can be connected too, so tickets can be opened from the website, WhatsApp or the phone.
Strong passwords, two-step verification, role permissions, an access log and encrypted connections. The portal is hosted on servers in the European Union.
Yes. Each customer company has its own users and each user has a role: who orders, who sees invoices, who approves.
Yes: for custom portals the code and data are yours, as with all the software we build.
It depends on features, roles and integrations. After the free analysis you receive a written quote, which can be split into phases if you want to start with the essentials.
The portal processes customer data, so we provide a privacy notice, minimum access by role, a log and deletion of data when a user is no longer entitled to it.
