Customer Portal Development
A web-based customer portal offers a single point of access to structured information about your products or services, self-service functionality and communication tools. Since 2005, ScienceSoft has been providing full-scale customer portal development services to create B2B and B2C customer portals.
Customer Portals We Develop
Support common B2C customer journeys with a portal that combines self-service and assisted support. Customers can find answers, manage their accounts and services, place and track orders, handle returns, and reach an agent when an issue needs help.
Support B2B buying and servicing with a portal designed for multi-user customer accounts and repeat purchasing. Typical capabilities include bulk, repeat, and scheduled orders, multiple payment methods, and integration with your and your partners’ internal systems.
Give customers one place to get answers, ask for help, manage their services, and follow each request from start to finish, with an easy way to reach a support agent when they need to.
Bring client work into one shared workspace where clients and your team can coordinate tasks, check progress, approve deliverables, and keep documents and discussions together.
Combine self-service with two-way engagement: personalized profiles, guided requests and approvals, messaging, and feedback follow-ups, all connected to your CRM, support, and marketing systems.
Make buying easier with a clear, fast path from browsing to checkout for both business buyers and consumers, and connect the portal to your wider retail channels.

Challenges We Solve
|
|
Painful UXThe necessity to embrace multiple processes and categories often tend to overcomplicate the portal and make the UX completely infuriating. We design clear logical layout and try to avoid the complexity wherever possible to ensure smooth navigation of your clients through the portal in the quickest and easiest way. |
|
|
Inefficient integration with your internal systems (ERP, CRM)We seamlessly synchronize both systems and make them work as a whole to ensure a high level of automation and self-service and to let you leverage the data from your CRM/ERP systems, avoiding its duplication and infuriating manual input. |

Unfamiliar environment (for B2B world)Your clients are not ready to spend time on understanding the complexity of multiple sellers’ systems they interact with. Through the integration with their business solutions, we let them stay in their harbor and operate from the native working space. |
