What is a customer portal?

A customer portal is a secure, logged-in area of a company’s website or app where customers see their orders, invoices, documents and requests, and handle routine tasks themselves. It is usually connected to 1C, a CRM or an ERP.

Also called: client portal, B2B portal

Why it matters

A portal takes the “where is my order” calls and WhatsApp messages off your managers and gives customers answers at any hour. It shows data your 1C, CRM or ERP already holds, so nobody keys it in twice. It needs proper logins and roles, and contracts and acts can be signed with an electronic digital signature through NCALayer.

1Typical featuresOrder status, invoices and payments, acts and ESF e-invoices, support requests and company details.
2Connected, not copiedThe portal reads live data from 1C, the CRM or the ERP instead of keeping its own copy.
3Built-in or customOdoo, Salesforce and HubSpot have portal features; a custom portal fits when your process is unusual.
ExampleA wholesale supplier in Almaty answers dealers by phone every day: where is the shipment, please send the reconciliation statement. A portal connected to 1C shows dealers their orders, stock and contract prices, lets them download invoices and ESF e-invoices, and contracts are signed with an electronic digital signature. The phone line is left for the unusual cases.
