Client portal for logistics
Most logistics companies I talk to mention the same thing: proof-of-delivery photos and paperwork arrive in WhatsApp chats. The client portal deals with it quietly while dispatch is handling today's loads. A private portal where your clients see their documents, status and messages.
What this fixes for logistics companies
- Proof-of-delivery photos and paperwork arrive in WhatsApp chats.
- Carrier invoices get keyed into the accounts by hand.
- Quote requests wait while the office deals with today's loads.
What it looks like in practice
Imagine a regional courier with twelve vans. A customer logs in to see where things stand, downloads the latest document and uploads the one you asked for. They don't need to email you, and you're notified of the upload.
How it works for logistics
Here is how the client portal runs day to day for logistics companies.
- We decide what clients should see and do.
- I build a login with status, documents and messages.
- It connects to HubSpot.
- Notifications go out when something changes.
- You get it deployed and own the code.
Tools it connects to
It plugs into the tools logistics companies already use, such as Outlook, HubSpot and Google Drive, and runs on Next.js, Supabase and n8n.
Questions from logistics companies
Does the client portal work with Outlook?
It depends on your Outlook plan. Some tools open their data through an API and some keep it locked, so before we start I check what yours allows. If a direct connection isn't possible, I'll say so and suggest a workaround before you pay anything.
What will my customers see?
They'll see one login to check status and download files. I write the wording with you so it sounds like your logistics business, and you approve it before launch.
How long does it take to set up for logistics companies?
Plan on 3 to 5 weeks from the day I get access to your accounts. Most of that is testing with your real pickups and messages, so nothing goes live until it behaves the way you want.
