Customer portal · Manufacturing

A customer portal for manufacturers and job 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.

A large share of a shop's emails are status questions: where is my order, can you resend the invoice, what did we pay last time. Each one interrupts someone in the office or on the floor. A portal on your domain lets customers find those answers themselves, and keeps the conversation for each order in one thread instead of scattered across inboxes.

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.

Does each order have its own message thread?

Yes. Every order has a message thread, so questions about a revision or a delivery stay attached to that job.

Can customers find quotes they never ordered?

Yes. Saved quotes stay in the portal, so a customer can come back to one and order later.

Which files can customers upload?

STEP, STL, DXF and more 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.
