Business systems and customer portals

Know where every job is, without chasing.

When jobs, documents and updates live in different inboxes, customers chase and staff repeat themselves. We connect the steps and give customers a clear view of their own account.

  • Quoted after a meeting
  • Demo available

Sound familiar?

Where the work gets stuck.

  • Customers ring to ask where their order or job has got to.
  • We type the same details into three different places.
  • Approvals sit in someone’s inbox until we chase them.
  • The spreadsheet only makes sense to the person who built it.

Process map

See where a system would help.

Three quick questions about one process. You get a step map marked with what could be automated, what customers or suppliers could see in a portal and where approvals sit, ready to bring to a chat.

What changes

What could change.

  • Enquiry, quote, order, work and follow-up in one connected flow.
  • A portal in your brand where customers see status, documents and next steps.
  • Clear ownership, so each request has a person and a next action.
  • Fewer calls and emails asking where things have got to.

Possibilities we work towards with you, not promised results.

An example

Replacing status calls with a customer view

We only publish client work with permission. Ask us for relevant examples in a meeting. How we work

How it works

How we build it with you.

  1. Step 1: Follow one job

    We trace a typical enquiry from first contact to final invoice and note where it slows down.

  2. Step 2: Simplify first

    We remove unnecessary steps before deciding what to connect or automate.

  3. Step 3: Build and connect

    We build the system or portal, set permissions and connect the tools you already use where it makes sense.

  4. Step 4: Hand over and review

    Your team gets access, guidance and someone to ask, and we review how it is used.

Scope and price

What is included, and what it costs.

The scope is agreed after a meeting and written into your proposal before you commit. All final quotes follow a meeting.

Usually included

  • Workflow mapping
  • Customer portal or internal system design and build
  • Roles and permissions
  • Connections to existing tools where agreed
  • Team guidance and handover

Proposed inclusions until your written proposal confirms them.

Not included, or needs checking

  • Third-party software licences and subscriptions
  • Migration of historical records unless scoped
  • Integrations with systems that do not offer suitable access
  • Account ownership and access arrangements, which are confirmed in each proposal

Anything here can be scoped and quoted separately.

Quote required

Quoted after a meeting

The price depends on the number of steps and users, the systems that need connecting, the data to migrate and the support you need after launch.

  • No fixed tiers: the price follows the agreed scope.
  • Scope, price and term in writing before you commit.

Questions

Practical questions.

Something not covered here? Book a chat

Is this the same as BearBytes Cloud?

No. Cloud is where you work with us. A customer portal is one we build for your own customers, in your brand.

Do we have to replace our current software?

Not necessarily. We start with what you already use and only suggest new tools when they clearly earn their place.

Who can see what in a portal?

Customers see only their own records. Roles and permissions are agreed and tested before launch.

Can we start with one process?

Yes. A first version can cover one process and the steps that cause the most trouble. More can be added once your team and customers are using it.

What happens to my answers in the process map?

They stay on this page unless you send the form or book a chat, when they travel with your message. Otherwise we only see, without your name, that the map was used.

Ask us

Ask about your process.

Tell us a little about how the work runs today. If you mapped a process above, it comes with your message. A person reads every message and replies by email to arrange a chat.

About: Business systems and customer portals

Everything is required unless it says optional.

If you would rather we call.

A person replies by email. We do not add you to a mailing list.

We only use what you send to reply to you and prepare for our conversation. Read our privacy notice.

Next step

Let’s talk about how the work runs.

Bring one process that causes the most chasing. We will say plainly what we would connect first, what customers could see and how the work would be scoped and quoted.
