# Customer portals, connected systems and no more spreadsheets

If your team retypes the same order into three systems, emails price lists that go out of date, or runs the business on a spreadsheet only one person understands, we build the portal or connection that fixes it. On open-source tools you own.

## What is included
- **Customer portals** — A secure login where customers see their own prices, orders, documents and delivery dates, and can reorder.
- **Supplier and trade portals** — Trade price lists, stock and order submission for the businesses you buy from or sell through.
- **Accounts integrations** — Connections to Xero, Sage and QuickBooks so invoices, customers and payments stop being retyped.
- **System connections (APIs)** — Your website, CRM, job system, stock and email talking to each other automatically.
- **Spreadsheet and Access replacement** — We move the spreadsheet or old database into a proper web system, keeping how your team already works.
- **Shop-floor and job systems** — Job tracking, production boards and stock systems built around your workshop, like the system Kingsland runs on.
- **AI where it helps** — Reading orders, drawings or paperwork automatically, with a person checking anything uncertain.
- **Hosting and support** — Run on Cloudflare with backups and monitoring, plus optional ongoing development.

## Indicative pricing
All Happy Webs prices exclude VAT.
Fixed software projects start from £3,200 excluding VAT. For a run of improvements, ongoing development starts from £3,500 a month. We scope the first useful version, agree the price and build it with your team.

## Frequently asked questions
### What is a customer portal?

A secure part of your website where each customer logs in to see their own information: prices, orders, documents, certificates or delivery dates. It cuts down calls and emails and makes reordering easy.
### Can you connect our systems to Xero or Sage?

Yes. Xero, Sage and QuickBooks all have connections we can use to pass invoices, customers and payments across automatically, so nobody has to retype them.
### Can you replace our spreadsheet or Access database?

Yes. We move the data and the way your team works into a web system that several people can use at once, from the office or a phone, with proper backups.
### Why not just buy off-the-shelf software?

Sometimes you should, and we will say so. Custom makes sense when the off-the-shelf options do not fit how you work, or when you are paying for a lot you do not use. We compare the costs honestly.
### Who owns the software?

You do. We build on open-source tools and host on Cloudflare. If you ever want to move it elsewhere or bring it in-house, you can.
### Do you build on .NET or Microsoft Azure?

No. We build on open-source tools and Cloudflare, which keeps hosting costs low and avoids licence lock-in. We can still connect to Microsoft 365 and other Microsoft systems you already use.
