Web applications · portals and dashboards

Portals and dashboards that customers, partners and staff can use without asking you.

We build secure web applications: customer portals where people check orders and invoices, partner portals for quotes and stock, and internal dashboards for management and operations. They are fast, accessible and designed to work on a phone, and they read from and write to the systems that hold your data, so that what people see is current.

Capabilities

What Web Applications & Portals covers

  • Customer and partner portals

    Orders, invoices, statements, quotes and requests, available whenever your customers and partners need them.

  • Management dashboards

    The measures managers ask for, drawn from your systems and kept current.

  • Secure sign-in and roles

    Each person sees their own information, with the option of multi-factor sign-in.

  • Live data from your systems

    Connected to your ERP and other systems through their interfaces, so that nothing is re-typed.

  • Works on any device

    Designed for a phone first, then for the desk.

  • Accessible and fast

    Built to be usable by everyone, tested with assistive technology, and measured for speed.

Is it the right one?

Where it fits, and where it does not

We would rather you choose the right thing than the one we happen to be discussing.

A strong fit when

  • Customers phone or email to ask for information that already exists in your systems.
  • Partners need quotes, stock or statements outside office hours.
  • Managers wait for reports that a dashboard could simply show.
  • You need to control exactly who sees what.

Look at something else when

  • A portal that comes with your ERP already fits: use it, and we will configure it for you.
  • You only need a brochure website: see Websites, Headless CMS & Technical SEO.
  • The data behind the portal is unreliable: fix the source first, or the portal will show the problem to more people.

How we deliver

How Abrimatt delivers Web Applications

Every engagement runs in phases, so the business sees progress and risks surface early. The timescale for each phase is set after an assessment, not before.

  1. Understand the audience

    Find out what people want from the portal, and what they ask your staff for today.

  2. Design the journey

    Design the few screens that matter most, and test them with real users early.

  3. Connect the data

    Connect to the systems behind it through their interfaces, with the permissions set out.

  4. Build and secure

    Build with automated tests, secure sign-in and roles, and review the security before launch.

  5. Launch to a few

    Invite a small group first, watch how they use it and fix what gets in their way.

  6. Grow

    Add features and audiences in steps, guided by what people actually use.

Questions we are asked

Web Applications: questions and answers

Can a portal show live data from our ERP?

Yes, through the ERP's standard interfaces. We design what the portal may read and write, and keep the connection secure and monitored, so that customers see current orders and invoices and your ERP stays the single source of truth.

How do you secure a portal?

With role-based access, secure sign-in (with multi-factor as an option), encrypted connections, careful vetting of the code it depends on, automated tests and a security review before launch. We tell you plainly what remains your responsibility, such as managing user accounts.

Will it work on phones?

Yes. We design for a phone first and test on real devices, because many customers and partners will use it there.
