Appointment, Membership & Client Portals
A customer-facing portal for organisations that manage appointments, memberships, subscriptions or recurring client relationships — giving clients a self-service account and giving staff one place to see status and history.
Indicative starting price. Final pricing depends on scope and is confirmed in a written proposal.
When this service is usually considered
- Appointments are currently booked by phone or email with no shared record.
- Membership or subscription status is tracked manually and is hard to keep current.
- Clients ask staff for information — balances, documents, history — that could be self-service.
- Staff need a single view of a client's status without checking several places.
- Recurring relationships need a record of past interactions and service history.
Capabilities considered for this service
- Customer accounts with secure sign-in.
- Appointment requests and availability views.
- Membership records and subscription status.
- Document access for client-specific files.
- Service history against each client account.
- Notifications for upcoming appointments or status changes.
- Account preference management.
- An administrative portal for staff oversight.
Regulated payment processing is not automatically included and, where required, is integrated with a separately provided payment service.
