Feature Requests

Basic client portal changes to make it RELEVANT
Client portal should have several features that it Does not. Some have been outlined previously and some havent. -1 Problem:There is almost no point of a location to view all invoices and estimates if the client has to open every single one of them to see what they are. Take sales proposals as a perfect example. The estimates wind up jumbled in with a thousand other estimates, and the titles and descriptions and notes we have added are not easily visible within the list where estimate numbers are listed. This means our clients have to scroll and open every single one to find what theyre looking for and even then may approve the wrong contract. Solution: Give us another section similar to “Notes” thats at the bottom or top of every invoice and estimate, and name it “Title” or “Summary” that then is put above the invoice or estimate number in the client portal. This would also be helpful for us. It is Very annoying that on many pages the UI does not allow us to know what the heck each estimate/invoice is about unless the project address is different on some, or we add tags. -2 Enable bulk approval of estimates within portal, with bulk deposits (based on deposit requirement of each estimate) that are applied as a split payment. -3 Enable multiple client contacts (by email address) to have access, this circles back to the request thats been open since 2021 and has had a response that it would be developed in 2022. Commercial clients do not have one point of contact, and CRMs shouldnt limit us to such. -4 Have a dedicated link to each individual/organizations client portal available. Give us mergefields to add this to automations or template messages. They shouldnt have to wait for an estimate or invoice to be sent or dig through their email for one to find their “client portal”, they should have a bookmark readily available. This again circles back to recurring and commercial clients not being factored properly into development features. They also should be logging in with their email which is tied to their contact, and a one time pin code (or password). Without this anyone with the link can go and mess up or mess with our clients portal (approving estimates, declining estimates, booking, etc.) as well as have access to private information. -5 Problem: No case management or ticketing system!!! Solution: Add one! We already have a texting platform, you could even go the cheap route and just allow them to message us via the client portal with a title, subject, case purpose, urgency rating, images, and description and then it could appear in our messages in summary, and have a sidebar that opens up for us to view their open cases, respond, mark as escalated, in progress, closed, etc. Then make their list of cases available within the client portal. (Inbox button, then Case Management or Support, then My Booking) CRM’s are about communication, sales, team and project management, and CUSTOMER SERVICE as well as quality control. We Have to have this. We are using multiple CRMs right now because you dont have it and its really silly. Booking does not autopopulate client information when they click to book while within their client portal. Makes no sense and it allows them to accidentally create a second contact within our system if they accidentally have a typo while filling it out. This is a Huge issue and has happened already. Residential clients are less likely to have this issue but commercial clients it is Very common (While on the topic, clients shouldnt be able to schedule via booking unless their data is typed properly. Have had clients with phone numbers that are the incorrect number of characters, and even if you fix it you now have two chats within the messaging platform, one with the wrong number that the lead came through and one with the correct one).
