Portal development and integration can become a key element to dramatically reducing costs. Portals are developed to become a secure way into the software for employees, customers and vendors. Portals can be customized to meet the specific requirements of executives, employees, customers and vendors.
For example:
Customers: view product catalog, get price and delivery quotations, submit and track orders.
Vendors: track orders, view documents and diagrams, enter prices, change contact information
Employees: maintain contact details, qualifications, absences and human resource information
Projects: submit time reports
Sales Reps: view customer records, give quotations, submit orders, change prices, track current orders and backorder lines
