Customer Portal Development: Self-Service on Your Data

Customer portals built on your own data

  1. Home
  2. Custom software
  3. Customer portals

A portal gives customers, partners or suppliers a secure place to see their orders, invoices, jobs and documents, raise requests and approve work, without e-mailing your team. We build portals on your existing systems (custom, Zoho or ZMOS) with your branding and rules.

  • Secure logins and roles per company
  • Orders, invoices, jobs and documents in one place
  • Requests and approvals with notifications
  • Your branding, your domain

What a portal usually includes

  1. Accounts and roles

    A company, its users and what each may see; invitation and password flows; optional single sign-on.

  2. Status and documents

    Order and job status, delivery notes, invoices and statements, downloadable PDFs.

  3. Requests and approvals

    Quote requests, support tickets, approvals of quotes or drawings, with e-mail or WhatsApp notifications.

  4. Integration

    Reads and writes your system of record (custom, Zoho CRM/Books, ZMOS) through APIs; nothing is re-keyed.

  5. Branding and domain

    Your logo, colours and a sub-domain such as portal.yourcompany.com.

How much a portal costs

A portal is priced by the number of screens and the systems it touches, not by the number of users.

A read-only status portal on an existing system is a small project; approvals, payments and multiple back-ends make it a larger one. The estimator gives typical hours; a written quote follows a discovery call.

Questions

Can a portal be built on Zoho Creator instead of custom code?

Often yes: Creator has a customer portal with its own user pricing, and it is the cheaper route when your data already lives in Zoho. We build both and recommend whichever fits.

How much does a custom customer portal cost to build?

Priced per project from screens and integrations; a read-only status portal is a few weeks, a portal with approvals and payments is longer. Estimate the hours on our pricing page and ask for a quote.
