Custom Web Application Development

Customer Portals

A customer portal is an application that gives your customers direct access to their own records, documents, and actions, so routine requests stop arriving as email and your team stops re-keying the answers.

What changes for you.

Routine requests stop arriving as email

Customers reach their own information directly, which removes a whole category of message from your team's inbox.

Customers can act, not just ask

Doing the thing beats waiting for someone to do it, and it happens outside your working hours.

Your team stops re-keying

What a customer enters is already structured data, so nobody transcribes an email into a system afterwards.

You get easier to work with

Self-service is often exactly what a customer means when they call a supplier easy to deal with.

The difference it makes.

Without a portal

Routine requests arrive as email, one at a time
Customers wait for your office hours to get an answer
Staff re-key what the customer already typed
Status questions interrupt the team all day
Customers feel held at arm's length

With Stepping Stone Partners

Customers reach their own information directly
Self-service works outside your working hours
Submissions arrive as structured data, ready to use
Status is visible without anyone being asked
You become noticeably easier to deal with

Where this fits.

This is one part of our custom web application development work. Engagements rarely stay in one box: a platform rollout turns into something custom, and both then need looking after. That is why our software development and implementation practice treats implementation, custom development, and ongoing support as one continuous piece of work rather than three separate vendors.
