A portal that fits your process , not the other way around.
Customers log in wherever they are. Suppliers deliver what you ask. Your team watches along. One secure environment, your branding, plugged into the systems you already have.

We're a small team in Arnhem that's been building portals and data integrations for 16+ years. No army of junior consultants, no offshore handoff, the people writing the first line of code are the same people you call three years later.
There's a cost: we can't run five at once. There's an upside: what we do build, we know in detail.

Which portal fits your situation?
Six starting points we've built over the years, again and again. You'll probably recognise more than one, that's fine. A portal is often a combination.
Dealer or partner portal
Multi-tier, dealer-specific pricing, delivery terms, marketing assets. A network that runs itself.
- Multi-tier
- Pricing
- Co-marketing
- Approvals
Intranet for your team
Processes, knowledge, planning and dashboards in one central place. Onboarding, handbooks and updates that stay current.
- Kennis
- Workflow
- Dashboards
- Onboarding
Document portal
Secure sharing with audit trails. Files behind authentication, GDPR-proof, with fine-grained access control.
- AVG / GDPR
- Audit log
- RBAC
- Encryption
Multi-tenant platform
One platform, multiple clients or brands. Strictly separated data, shared codebase, low operational overhead.
- Tenants
- Theming
- API-first
- SaaS
Where our portals work hardest.
Four sectors where we've gathered the most experience. In each, the same thread: a process running more manually than it has to.
Transport & logistics
Real-time grip on order flows and shipments
For planners, drivers and customers, Track & Trace, dock planning and confirmations that update themselves.

One core, many connections.
A portal isn't a stand-alone web app. It sits at the centre of your operation. It talks to your ERP for orders and stock, your CRM for customer context, your PIM for product content and your WMS for logistics.
On the other side sit users with very different roles: customers, suppliers, dealers, your own team. They all see the same foundation, but each their own slice of the data.
- One codebase, one place where updates land.
- Strict data separation per user group.
- Modular: adding an integration or role = no rebuild.
What changes when the portal goes live?
Not abstract, just concrete, what you notice from day one.
Now
- Inbox full of status questions you answer over and over.
- Orders arriving by email, fax and stray Excel files.
- Documents floating around as unencrypted email attachments.
- Customers calling for a quote. Or worse: waiting on a colleague.
- Dealers with different price lists scattered across PDFs.
- Reports stitched together manually, every month again.
With the portal
- Status visible in real time in the portal, pulled by the customer themselves.
- One structured channel for orders, validated at the entry point.
- Documents behind authentication, with an audit trail of who saw what.
- Online quotes with logic that respects volume tiers and conditions.
- Dealer-specific pricing, applied automatically on login.
- Live dashboards that update themselves, for you and your customer.
Clients on our work.
Snippets from long-running relationships. Not the price-list quotes, what they actually noticed.
The Boltrics integration went very smoothly. The portal is clear, fast and easy to use. Even with new customers we barely need to explain anything, because it is structured so logically. The Portal Guys also move quickly when we need changes.
Security is not an extra.
A portal sits between your operation and the outside world. We take that seriously, from the first line of code, not just when the audit lands.
SSO & MFA
Microsoft, Google, Okta, custom IdP. Two-factor by default, including service accounts.
Roles & permissions
Fine-grained RBAC at row level. Customers see their own data, suppliers only their own orders.
Audit & logging
A complete trail of who did what when. For compliance, for support, for after-the-fact answers.
GDPR-proof
EU-hosted, encrypted at rest and in transit, data processing agreement in place.
When to choose bespoke?
A SaaS portal like Salesforce Experience Cloud, Liferay or HubSpot is sometimes simply the smartest choice. Sometimes, more often, bespoke is. Here's the honest trade-off.
SaaS portal
Out of the box- Quick start if your process matches the standard model.
- Low upfront cost, fixed monthly licensing.
- Updates and security handled by the vendor.
- You shape your process to the system, not the other way around.
- Integrations that "almost" fit still demand a lot of bespoke work.
- License costs scale with users, lock-in scales along.
Fits when: your process is standardised and you're confident it won't shift soon.
Bespoke portal
On your process- Exact fit to your process, no workarounds.
- One-time build cost, no per-user license after.
- You own the code and the data. No lock-in.
- Scales on your pace, not the vendor's release schedule.
- Higher upfront investment and a longer ramp-up.
- Maintenance and evolution are on you, or on us, by SLA.
Fits when: your process is your edge and you don't want to give it up for standardisation.
Plugs into the systems you already have.
Vendor not in the list? No problem, if it speaks APIs, files or webhooks, we connect it. A sample of what we have ready to go:
From first call to live and beyond.
A rhythm that keeps you in the loop on where we are and why. No circus of templates and standups.
01
Process conversation
One hour, free. We map your order flows, users and existing systems. No sales, just an honest picture of where the gains would land.
02
Scope & quote
A clear scope with estimated impact per element. Fixed-fee quote so you know up front what you're looking at, no surprises.
03
Build & test
We build in sprints with weekly checkpoints. You get a staging environment to track progress, feedback is folded in along the way, not just at the end.
04
Go-live
Phased rollout, first to a small group, then broadly. We guide the cutover and stay close while things need to settle.
05
Evolution
After go-live comes the real work: measuring, adjusting, folding in new requests. SLA, monitoring and a single point of contact, no consultants vanishing.
After go-live we stick around.
Delivering a portal isn't the end of the project, it's the real start. That's when the first thousand users walk in, and that's when you find out where it pinches. We stay available intensively for the first months, and structurally after.
Concretely: a single point of contact, an SLA on response times, monitoring that alerts us before your customer notices, and weekly standups as long as development is in flight.
- A single point of contact, no ticket-system roulette.
- Monitoring on uptime, performance and errors.
- Training for new user groups or admin roles.
- Documentation that evolves, not freezes at go-live.
- Roadmap sessions twice a year, what should be added?
Frequently asked questions.
What we hear most often during first conversations, answered honestly.
What if you can't pull it off?
In 16+ years it hasn't happened, but if during scoping we doubt the fit, we say so. Better honest up front than stuck halfway in. Sometimes a hybrid with a SaaS tool is the smarter path, we'll think along.
Wat kost een koppeling of portaal?
Dat hangt af van de stromen, systemen en schermen die meedoen. Na de gratis proces-scan krijg je een fixed-fee offerte: één vast bedrag voor een afgesproken scope. Geen uurtje-factuurtje met open eind en geen meerwerk-discussies achteraf.
Hoe lang duurt het voordat het live staat?
Een gangbare koppeling tussen twee systemen staat in 4 tot 6 weken op productie. Zwaardere trajecten, bijvoorbeeld met SAP, meerdere administraties of een datamigratie, lopen tot 8 weken of langer. Wat voor jou geldt, zie je vooraf terug in de planning.
Will it work with our existing ERP?
Almost always. We've worked with Exact, AFAS, SnelStart, SAP, Oracle, Business Central, NetSuite and bespoke ERPs. If yours has an API or file format, we'll talk to it. If not, we build the missing piece.
What if we want to expand later?
We build toward that by default. Modular, API-first, with clear data models. A second customer group, new role, extra integration or new language goes in as iterations, no rebuild.
Hoe houden klanten of partners alleen hun eigen data zichtbaar?
Bij portalen isoleren we data strikt per klant of partner, met scope-isolatie en rollen. Iedereen ziet alleen zijn eigen orders, voorraad of documenten, nooit die van een ander.
Can we wire the portal to our existing identity provider?
Almost certainly. SSO via Microsoft Entra, Google Workspace, Okta, Auth0 or your own IdP. SAML 2.0 and OIDC work out of the box; just-in-time provisioning and SCIM on request.
Does it work on mobile?
Yes, responsive is built in. We test on iOS Safari and Android Chrome each release. For specific flows (warehouse scanner flows, offline-first apps) we ship native or a PWA, we cover that in scoping.
Zit er onderhoud of een abonnement aan vast?
Na livegang bieden we beheer onder een SLA: monitoring, automatische retries en een vast aanspreekpunt. Wijzigt een systeem zijn API, dan vangen wij dat op. Je kiest zelf of je dat afneemt; verplicht is het niet.
Is it GDPR-proof?
Ja. Encryptie at rest en in transit, EU-hosting en een verwerkersovereenkomst horen er standaard bij. We verwerken alleen de gegevens die functioneel nodig zijn en hanteren heldere bewaartermijnen.
Waar draait de koppeling en wie beheert hem?
Op EU-hosting, beheerd door ons onder SLA. We monitoren de kritieke stromen met heartbeat-checks, draaien automatische retries en hebben een vast aanspreekpunt. Je kunt ook kiezen voor hosting in je eigen omgeving; dat bepalen we samen.
What about maintenance and updates?
Standard security updates, framework upgrades and monitoring are part of our SLA. Major upgrades we walk through with you up front, so you know what's happening and when. No automatic opt-ins to be surprised by later.
Ready to build one for your process?
In a single one-hour session we look at your order flows, users and existing systems. Then a fixed-fee quote, no surprises.
