What is the difference between a website and a portal?
A website communicates publicly. A portal manages logins, content, data or reserved functions for specific users.
Does everyone need a login?
Not always. It depends on content and functions. You can have public sections, client areas and different roles.
Can the portal connect to the ERP?
Yes, through APIs or integrations where available. This avoids double data entry and keeps data and documents up to date.
Is it suitable for customers and partners?
Yes. It can serve customers, partners, suppliers, the sales network or internal teams, with different permissions and functions.
How do we handle security and permissions?
With authentication, roles, authorisations, logs, access controls, backup and monitoring proportionate to the project.
Can we start with just a few functions?
Yes. You start from the most useful flow: documents, requests, dashboards or tickets, then extend it.
