Custom client portals for B2B service firms
What a client portal really costs.
Your own client portal, built around your workflows, your clients and your systems. Status, documents and communication in one place. Here you can see what it costs and how to extend it whenever you want.
The model
Two committed steps. One choice, renewed every month.
You know what the start costs. After that, you decide how it continues.
First version
Setup with research, design and your workflows, then twelve weeks of development. The result is your own portal, tailored to your clients and your business.
Operation
Hosting, security, updates and 40 hours for small improvements based on your clients' feedback. So your portal keeps up with day-to-day work.
Expansion
For months in which you want new features. 118 hours of development, two to five features, operation included. Afterwards you switch back.
Built for your business
Your own portal.
Fitted to your workflows.
Consultancy, agency or technical service: your portal reflects how you work with your clients. In your brand, with your features and connected to your systems. Your clients and your team see the same status.
Persönlicher Zugang. Alles an einem Ort.
Order status. Know where the job stands.
Documents. Share files securely.
Open tasks. See what is still missing.
Messages. Communicate right on the job.
Dates and deadlines. Never miss one again.
Approvals. Give feedback with a clear trail.
Contacts. Know who is responsible.
These features and views are an example. Which ones your portal needs and how they work together, we decide together in the workshop.
Job overview. All client projects at a glance.
Client management. Manage access in one place.
Status updates. One update for everyone involved.
Tasks. Assign responsibilities clearly.
Documents. Spot missing files.
Communication. Keep the conversation history.
Core system. Connect existing workflows.
These features and views are an example. Which ones your portal needs and how they work together, we decide together in the workshop.
Your pace
Start small.
Expand when you want.
After the first version, you set the pace. You switch to expansion for one or more months, then back again. You never have to plan or pay for expansion in advance.
A possible first year
Months 1–4 · committed
Months 5–7 · incl. operation
Months 8–12 · no further expansion
If you want to stop after the first version, it stays at CHF 30'500 plus operation.
Where it can grow.
For your clients: Submit requests and update details themselves.
For your team: Less manual data entry and fewer follow-up questions.
For your clients: Several employees access the same client account with their own logins.
For your team: Responsibilities and permissions are managed transparently.
For your clients: Information from other systems is available in the portal.
For your team: Maintain less data twice and connect workflows across systems.
For your clients: Follow progress and results at a glance.
For your team: Spot bottlenecks and steer jobs more precisely.
For your clients: Find the right information faster and settle simple questions directly.
For your team: Support recurring tasks with assistant features.
The road to the first login
Four months to the
first client login.
Your effort: one hour every two weeks. We go from the workshop to the first login together, step by step.
Your project timeline
No specification needed
Workshop
Clarify together: goals, workflows and your clients. Result: the concept.
Setup
The groundwork: research, design and your workflows.
Development
Build and review, with you every two weeks.
Live.
In daily use: your clients log in.
You don't have to write a specification.
That is our job. What we need: access to your core system, a few real jobs as examples and the person who manages your jobs today. Your contact at Axisbits talks to you about value, cost and timing, not about technology.
Your independence
Cancel our service.
Keep the portal.
Your portal belongs to you.
Even after we stop working together.
Ownership
Your portal and its custom code belong to you. That stays the case even if you end the collaboration.
Client data
We agree on access, data storage and handover with you before we start. The servers sit wherever you want, for example in Zurich or Frankfurt.
Quality
AI writes the code to the rules of our Axisbits Engine™. Our senior developers review every stage and approve it before anything goes live.
Guarantee
We define what the first version can do before we start. Scope, acceptance and how bugs are handled are set out in the contract.
Exit
After the first version, you can cancel operation at any time with 30 days' notice. You keep your portal. We agree on the technical handover and future operation together.
The next step
Project Check.
30-minute video call.
Tell us roughly what your portal should do and which systems you use today. We tell you honestly whether your idea qualifies for the free workshop or whether an off-the-shelf solution is enough. Your idea doesn't need to be finished. A rough outline is enough.
The maths behind it
Is it worth it?
A portal pays off where it makes your day-to-day noticeably easier.
Requests
that disappear.
"What's the status?" and "Where's the document?" Your clients answer these themselves. Your team gains time for the work it is actually needed for.
Calculated time value, not a guaranteed saving.
Tools
it replaces.
Status lists, file storage and separate communication channels can come together in one place. Which licences you can drop depends on your current systems.
× CHF 100 / month × 12 months
Only if these subscriptions are actually cancelled.
What your client
no longer has to do.
Searching emails, chasing by phone or sending the same documents several times. A shared status makes working together simpler and more reliable.
The value isn't only measured in francs: fewer interruptions, clearer workflows and a better client experience.
The calculations are assumptions. In the workshop we use your numbers.
An honest comparison
The other options.
And what comes with them.
What you pay with each option and what you should factor in.
Good questions. Clear answers
Ten questions for any provider.
Including us.
A good quote answers more than the question of price.
The setup with research, design and your workflows, plus twelve weeks of development. We build your portal specifically for your company. Features, design and integrations are defined in the workshop.
Operation costs CHF 2'800 per month, excl. VAT. It includes hosting, security, updates and 40 hours for small improvements.
No. You decide each month whether you want to expand. An expansion month costs CHF 8'500, covers 118 hours of development and includes operation.
Plan two hours for the workshop. After that, we expect one hour every two weeks. We also need access to your core system, real example jobs and a contact person from your daily operations.
Yes. Your portal and its custom code belong to you, even after cancellation. You decide how your portal is operated and developed in the future.
We agree on data storage, access rights and the connection to your systems before we start. The servers sit wherever you want.
AI writes the code to the rules of our Axisbits Engine™. Senior developers define the architecture and approve every stage. No code goes live without review.
Acceptance, bug fixing and responsibility are set out in the contract before we start. During operation, security and updates are part of the agreed scope.
After the first version, you can cancel operation at any time with 30 days' notice. That ends our operation service, while your portal and its custom code remain your property. We agree on the technical handover with you.
If your workflow is standard and the portal mainly needs to show documents, an off-the-shelf solution can be cheaper. We discuss this openly in the Project Check.
One conversation. A clear next step.
30 minutes, then you know if it fits.
Tell us roughly what your portal should do. We tell you honestly whether the free workshop makes sense for you or whether an off-the-shelf solution is enough.
