Client Portals vs Spreadsheets for Customer Updates
Status emails and Excel trackers do not scale. A simple portal can, without becoming a giant software project.
Sending “any update?” emails back and forth burns goodwill. A lightweight portal where customers see jobs, files or invoices reduces noise for everyone.
You do not need a full ERP on day one. Start with login, status and document download — then grow. That is how we approach custom business apps.
Curious whether a portal fits? Look at what we build or sketch the workflow with us.
