Customer portal · CNC turning
A customer portal for CNC turning shops
SeekMake gives each of your customers a portal on your domain. They reopen saved quotes, reorder parts, follow production status, message your team and download invoices without emailing you.
Turning customers tend to reorder: the same shaft or bushing comes back every few months, sometimes with a revised drawing. Without a portal, each reorder starts with an email asking for the last price and revision. A portal on your domain keeps past quotes and orders in one place, so the buyer can repeat an order and your team spends less time digging through old threads.

FAQ
Questions shops ask before switching
Is the portal on my domain?
Yes. The portal uses your domain, logo and colours.
Can customers reorder?
Yes. They reorder from their order history and the price follows your current rates.
Can my team reply to customers in the portal?
Yes. Each order has a message thread your team can answer from the dashboard.
Where do customers ask questions about a running turning order?
Each order has its own message thread in the portal, so questions about threads, finishes or delivery stay attached to that order.
Can buyers download invoices for past turning jobs?
Yes. Invoices are available in the portal, which saves your office from resending them on request.
Which files can customers upload?
STEP and STL files. The part is checked and measured automatically when it is uploaded.
How much does SeekMake cost?
There is a free plan to start. Paid plans add more features, lower fees on online orders and priority support.
