Customer portal and website: your customers see orders, invoices and certificates themselves

We build the protected area in which your customers look up their own orders, download invoices and certificates automatically and place new orders – connected to the ERP you already run. Plus the public website in front of it, which turns visitors into enquiries. Live in weeks, hosted in Europe, maintained by your own team.

Talk to us about your portal

What changes in your day-to-day business

Not a feature list – the things our customers notice in the first weeks after go-live.

Fewer status calls

Customers look up delivery dates, order status and open items themselves. The same question stops arriving ten times a day, and your office gets its mornings back.

Invoices are delivered automatically

As soon as an order is closed, the invoice appears in that customer’s portal – as a PDF and as a record. Nobody attaches it to an email, nobody asks for a copy, and no invoice gets lost in a spam folder.

Certificates and proof appear on their own

Weighing slips, disposal certificates, test reports and inspection records are generated from the order and published in the portal automatically. Audit-proof, dated and available for years – without anyone scanning anything.

Live data instead of a second data set

The portal shows what is in your ERP: orders, stock, appointments, prices. Nothing is maintained twice, so nothing drifts apart.

Enquiries instead of visitors

Clear paths, plain language and forms people actually complete. We measure the website on the enquiries it produces, not on page views.

Your team edits it without us

Texts, prices, news and job ads are changed by your own colleagues. No ticket, no waiting and no hourly rate for a typo.

A look inside a portal that is already running

These screens come from the Circuflow customer portal, which we built and operate ourselves. Customer names and addresses are blurred.

Everything open at a glance

The first screen answers the three questions your office is asked most often: what is running, when does it arrive, and what is still missing. The customer sees their own situation immediately – on a laptop in the office or on a phone in the yard.

A new order in three steps, not one phone call

Customers order themselves, with the addresses, articles and dates already stored for them. What used to arrive as a scribbled email now lands in your system correctly the first time – and the confirmation goes out without anyone typing it.

Questions stay attached to the order

A query no longer disappears into someone’s inbox. It sits next to the order together with the matching invoice and certificates, the whole team can see it, and nothing is lost when a colleague is on holiday.

What we build it on

We choose the system that fits your case – not the one we happen to sell. Open source wherever it is sensible, so you keep control of your platform. And always designed for the phone first, because that is where most customers open a portal.

On top of your ERP

If the data already lives in Odoo, SAP or an in-house system, the portal sits directly on it. Customers see real orders, real invoices and real documents – not a copy that someone keeps in sync by hand.

Connecting systems and data

As a website with WordPress, Joomla or Odoo

For the public part we use the system your team can actually operate. All three are open source, all three run on European hosting, and all three can be handed back to you at any time.

As an app for phone and tablet

Where customers or field staff need more than a browser, the same data goes into a mobile app. One data set, two front ends – nothing is maintained twice.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a customer portal – and when is it worth having one?
A customer portal is a protected area in which your customers see their own data: orders, invoices, certificates, appointments and messages. It pays off as soon as your team answers the same status questions by phone or email every day – for most companies that is from a few dozen active customers onwards.
How is a portal different from a website?
The website is public and exists to produce enquiries. The portal sits behind a login and exists to save work after the sale. Most of our customers need both, and we build them so that they look and behave like one system.
Are invoices and certificates really provided automatically?
Yes. As soon as an order reaches the agreed status in your ERP, the portal publishes the matching documents by itself: invoice, delivery note, weighing slip, disposal certificate or test report. Nobody attaches anything to an email, and your customer still finds every document years later.
Does the portal work with our existing ERP?
Yes. We connect the portal to the system you already run – Odoo, SAP, Microsoft Dynamics or an older in-house solution – through its interface or a central data platform. Your ERP remains the leading system and keeps its data.
How long does it take until a portal is live?
A first usable version is normally online in six to ten weeks. We start with the function that saves the most calls and add the rest afterwards, so you see a working result long before the budget is used up.
What does a customer portal cost?
Projects usually start in the low five-figure range, plus hosting and support. What drives the price is the number of systems that have to be connected, not the number of pages. After a short workshop you get a fixed price.
Can our own team maintain the content?
Yes. Texts, images, prices, news and job advertisements are edited by your colleagues in the backend. We train two or three people, and in practice that is enough to keep the site current without us.
Where is the data hosted?
In data centres in Germany or the EU, with a data processing agreement in accordance with the GDPR. Personal data is not moved to servers outside the EU, and you can see at any time which service processes what.
How are logins and permissions handled?
Every customer sees only their own data. Roles decide who may order, who may only look and who sees prices. If you already use single sign-on in your company, we connect the portal to it instead of creating another password.
Do we get a mobile app as well?
If your customers or your field staff need one, yes. The app and the portal use the same data, so nothing has to be maintained twice. Many companies start with the portal and add the app once the processes have settled.
