Improve the customer experience with the New Customer Portal

Prev Next

The new Customer Portal is now generally available to everyone. It gives your customers a modern self-service portal to manage payments, estimates, appointments, equipment, and more, all from one place. 

What’s changing with the New Customer Portal?

Before, your customers could only pay invoices online. To get information about past jobs, upcoming visits, estimates, or equipment, they had to call the office or search through emails. Now, the Customer Portal gives access to past and upcoming work, service agreements, estimates, invoices, and equipment history. Office employees can manage portal users and permissions by location. The portal also includes updated online payment and estimate links with a more modern layout.

  3. Customers can’t check appointments, signed documents, or equipment.

  5. Only basic payment functions are available.
