Customer and distributor portals that answer the status question for you

When customers and distributors have to phone or email to learn where a quote or an order stands, your team becomes the database. A portal gives each of them a login and shows only their own records.

It also gives you a place to grow from: reordering, document downloads, branded documents for resellers and, later, connections to the rest of your systems.

Signs you need one

• Your inbox is full of "where is my quote or order" messages.
• Distributors resell your products and want to send documents under their own name.
• Customer data is spread over email, spreadsheets and a CRM that does not quite fit.

What I build

• Secure sign-in, with each organisation seeing only its own sites, quotes and orders.
• Quote and purchase order tracking with clear status.
• A brand kit per distributor: logo, colour and contact details on the documents they send.
• Optionally, a website your team edits themselves, on the same customer data.

How it scales

• Adding a customer or a distributor is a record, not a project.
• Access rules follow your organisation structure, including sites and sub-organisations.
• The same data feeds the website, the quote builder and later extensions such as an asset register.

Examples

• Rim-Lock Innovations: Quote builder — Rim-Lock, a manufacturer supplying mining operations, produced quotes by hand from a PDF spec form and a spreadsheet template.
• Rim-Lock Innovations: Marketing site & distributor portal — A website the Rim-Lock team edits themselves, and a portal where each distributor follows their quotes and purchase orders, and sends customers quotes branded with their own logo, colours and contact details, without calling or emailing.
