Customer portal · Sheet metal
A customer portal for sheet metal 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.
Sheet metal customers often order families of parts: a chassis, its covers and its brackets, reordered together each time a build repeats. Keeping track of which revision went with which build is a common source of emails. A portal on your domain gives each customer their saved quotes and past orders, so they can reorder parts and check status themselves.
