Client Portals & Document Workspaces

A unified, branded dashboard for client onboarding, deliverables, milestone approvals, and billing.

The Client Portal & Document Workspace replaces scattered email threads, shared Google Drive links, and PDF attachments with a dedicated, secure web environment. Clients log in to see live sprint progress, access deliverables, submit change requests, and pay invoices.

Operational Bottleneck

The Cost of Manual Friction

Client services firms spend up to 30% of their billable hours answering 'what is the status of my project?', re-sending lost documents, and chasing unpaid invoices across email threads.

The System Architecture

Automated Data Pipeline

Built on Next.js and Supabase/PostgreSQL, the portal utilizes passwordless magic link authentication and row-level security policies. All files are stored in encrypted cloud buckets with temporary signed URLs, ensuring sensitive documents are never publicly exposed.

System Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the portal secure enough for confidential legal or financial documents?

Yes. All data is encrypted in transit (TLS 1.3) and at rest (AES-256). We enforce Row-Level Security (RLS) directly inside PostgreSQL, ensuring no client can ever access another account's data.

Can clients invite other team members to their portal?

Yes, primary client contacts can invite team members with view-only or billing permissions based on your configuration.
