Turnaround

A customer portal is the single highest-leverage piece of software most service businesses can ship — every account question your team answers manually today (invoice copies, account status, project files, support tickets, contract docs) is one a portal answers automatically tomorrow. Done well, it cuts support load by 50–80% inside the first quarter, and lifts retention because clients feel in control.

We build custom portals in React + TypeScript + Supabase: row-level security so each client only sees their own data, Stripe / PayPal for invoice payments, file storage with audit logs, messaging, tickets, project status and KPI tiles — all branded as part of your own site, not a third-party 'powered by'. Pairs naturally with our custom CRM, internal tools and subscription billing work.

Most portals ship in 6–12 weeks with a usable v1 in your clients' hands inside the first 6 weeks.

Why Custom Portals Beat Generic Client Software

Branded, integrated, no per-client licence fee, designed around your workflow.

No per-client / per-seat fees — invite as many users as you want

Branded as part of your own site — not 'powered by Acme'

Integrates with the tools you already use (Xero, Stripe, HubSpot, M365)

Cuts support tickets by 50–80% from month one

Lifts retention — clients feel in control of their own account

Yours forever — code in your GitHub, data in your database

What a Customer Portal Typically Includes

The standard modules clients expect on day one.

Accounts & Permissions

Per-client / per-team accounts, role-based access (admin, member, billing-only, view-only), MFA, SSO via Google / Microsoft 365 when needed, secure invite links — all wired into Supabase row-level security.

Files, Docs & E-sign

Secure file storage with versioning, audit logs (who downloaded what, when), shared folders, e-sign workflow (in-house or DocuSign integration), and digital contracts with proper PDF generation.

Invoices & Payments

Pull invoices from Xero / MYOB / Stripe Billing, display the full payment history, accept card / Apple Pay / Google Pay / Afterpay / PayPal / direct debit, auto-reconcile back to your accounts. Customers self-serve receipts and tax invoices.

Tickets & Messaging

In-portal support tickets (with email mirroring so your team can stay in Outlook / Gmail), threaded messages, file attachments, status tracking, and SLA timers visible to the client. Cuts inbox load dramatically.

Why Aussie Service Businesses Trust Us With Their Portal

Customer portals are where the daily friction of running a service business actually lives — invoice questions, missing files, account changes, support back-and-forth. Build one well and you free up half a day per week per team member; build one badly and it becomes shelfware nobody opens. We design with your actual end-clients in the room, ship in fortnightly demos so they shape it, and keep the UI patterns familiar enough that adoption isn't a battle.

10+ years of shipping production portals for accountants, agencies, legal, real estate, trades and SaaS means we have the foundational pieces (auth, billing, files, tickets, audit logs) battle-tested.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a custom customer portal cost in Australia?

Most portals land between $8,000 and $30,000 — a focused v1 with accounts, files and invoice viewing is on the lower end, a full portal with tickets, messaging, project tracking, e-sign and payments is on the higher end. Always fixed-price after a free scoping call.

Why not use a SaaS portal product like Copilot, SuiteDash or Plutio?

Great for prototyping. They get expensive at scale (per-client or per-seat fees), look templated, and stop bending once your workflow gets specific (custom approval flows, multi-team access, integration with your existing tools). Most clients move to custom once they cross 50–100 active client accounts.

How long does a portal take to build?

Most portals ship a usable v1 in 6–8 weeks and a polished v2 by week 12. We work in 2-week sprints with demos so your team — and a few friendly clients — start testing the portal well before launch.

Can it integrate with Xero / MYOB / HubSpot / Microsoft 365?

Yes — Xero, MYOB, HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive, Stripe, ServiceM8, simPRO, Microsoft 365, Google Workspace and any tool with a public API. Same integration approach as our <a href='/api-development-integration-australia' class='text-primary hover:underline'>API integration service</a>.

Is it safe for client data?

Yes — that's the entire foundation. Supabase row-level security so each client only sees their own data, MFA available on every account, encrypted file storage, full audit logs of every view / download / change, and optional SSO via Google or Microsoft for enterprise clients. We follow Australian Privacy Principles by default.

Do I own the portal?

Yes, completely. Code lives in your GitHub, Supabase project on your account, every client and document record in your database. You can move the entire stack to any other dev team at any point.
