Portal 360
Client portal

A client portal your clients will actually use

Clients sign documents, approve work, see their files, message your team and view or create tasks from one secure login. It is part of Portal 360, so there is no separate portal subscription to buy or keep in step.

One feature that replaces the standalone client portal

Many practices pay for a portal on top of their practice software, then copy information between the two. In Portal 360 the portal sits on the same client record as your CRM, tasks, files and e-signatures.

  • Standalone client portal subscription
  • Emailing documents back and forth
  • Chasing approvals by phone
  • Status update emails

Without it

  • Clients email documents you then have to file
  • Approvals arrive as replies buried in a thread
  • Clients ring to ask what stage their work is at
  • A portal that does not know about your tasks or CRM
  • Another login for your team and another bill

With Portal 360

  • Clients sign and approve in one place, and the answer lands on the record
  • Shared files sit in the client's folders
  • Clients see their tasks and raise new ones themselves
  • The portal reads from the same CRM, tasks and files
  • One platform, one record, one set of permissions

Sign

Clients sign from any device

Send an engagement letter or form for e-signature and the client signs from their portal on web or mobile. The signed copy is stored with their files and the audit trail is kept.

  • Signature, date and text fields
  • Reminders for anyone who has not signed
  • Signed documents saved to the client's files
  • Audit trail that is never deleted

Approvals without the email chase

  • Responses collected under Approvals

  • Counters show pending, approved and rejected

Files

Every shared document in one place

Share a file or folder to the portal instead of attaching it to an email. You choose who can open what, and the client sees it when they sign in.

  • Share files from the File Center
  • Share Knowledge Studio folders to the portal
  • Signed documents sit with the client's files
  • Protected links for people without a login

Message

Conversations that stay on the client file

Clients message your team from the portal. Every conversation is linked to the client record, so anyone who picks up the file sees the history.

  • Message your team from the portal
  • Linked to the client, entity and contact
  • Reply from the Communication Centre
  • Nothing lost when a team member leaves

Tasks

See the work, and ask for more

Clients view the tasks you are doing for them and create new ones when they need something, so requests arrive as tasks on the board, not as scattered emails.

  • View tasks in progress
  • Create tasks for your team
  • New requests land on your Kanban board
  • Due dates and status in one place
