What is a self-service customer portal?
A self-service customer portal is a web application that grants customers access to product and service information and enables them to resolve issues independently. The specific functionalities depend on the organization type and the customer processes the portal optimizes. For example, a municipality may deploy a self-service portal for permit applications and passport renewals, while a transportation company could build one to enhance logistics transparency for customers and partners.
How can a self-service portal be used?
  • Digital onboarding of new customers
  • Customer service and technical support
  • Information about orders and requests
  • Knowledge base and community platform
  • Viewing and modifying account details
  • Customer satisfaction surveys
  • Secure exchange of customer data

Requirements for a self-service portal
  • User-friendly
    The self-service portal should be easy to use, featuring intuitive design, a search function, and clear language to provide a superior customer experience.

  • Stable and up-to-date
    The customer portal must always be available to avoid customer frustration. Reliability and proper maintenance are crucial.

  • Mobile-friendly
    An effective self-service portal should be optimized for mobile devices, ensuring accessibility even when customers have urgent issues on the go.

  • Personalized branding
    The self-service portal goes beyond functionality and efficiency. It serves as an extension of your brand, incorporating its distinctive look and feel.

  • Secure and compliant
    Security and privacy by design are vital in developing a self-service portal, ensuring customers feel confident about the safety of their data.

  • Integration
    A self-service portal is not a standalone application, but a place where data converges. This requires robust integrations with your other enterprise systems.

  • Flexibility
    To meet changing customer needs, the self-service portal should be flexible. This allows quick adjustments to be made in response to evolving requirements.

Off-the-shelf software versus custom development

When considering a self-service customer portal, you have various options. The main choice lies between off-the-shelf software and custom development. Off-the-shelf software allows you to get started quickly at relatively low costs. However, there are often limited possibilities to customize the application to your unique processes. Sometimes, essential functionality that your employees require may be missing.

At House of low-code, we believe in a different approach. We see many organizations trying to fit their processes into off-the-shelf solutions, losing their unique qualities in the process. We prioritize the business and build custom software perfectly tailored to your needs using future-proof low-code technology.

Why low-code?

Traditional software development involves manual coding using programming languages, which is complex and inflexible. Extensive specifications and planning often lead to mismatches between the self-service portal and customer expectations upon launch. Finding experienced high-code developers can also be challenging and expensive.

Low-code development differs significantly from traditional methods. With a visual interface and pre-built components, low-code platforms enable rapid application development and expansion. Here are the key benefits:

Short time to market
Low-code accelerates customer portal development, reducing project completion time from months to weeks.

Lower costs
Low-code development is cost-effective, requiring less in-depth programming knowledge and resulting in faster delivery.

Better customer experience
Low-code allows for swift adaptation to changing customer needs, leading to an improved customer experience.

Co-creation with the business
Involving business users in the portal's development ensures alignment with customer needs.

Rapid integration
Low-code simplifies and expedites the integration of new applications with existing business systems.

Easy maintenance
Low-code applications built with pre-built components reduce the risk of bugs and streamline maintenance processes.
