Does your phone keep ringing with clients messaging you on WhatsApp to ask you to resend an invoice, a deliverable, or to ask how their project is going?
In small agencies, consultancies, or architecture studios, manual customer service devours your productive hours. You send files by email or share a link, but the client loses it, gets frustrated, and turns to the fastest route: demanding answers via chat at any time of the day. This constant drip of interruptions breaks your team's concentration, projects a disorganized image, and prevents you from scaling healthily, since the more clients you acquire, the more your support collapses and the more overtime you must work.
The trap of Standard Shared Folders
To try to set boundaries, many freelancers force their clients to use complex task management tools or simple cloud folders with no structure. Forcing an impatient client to search for their files among generic folders with no corporate branding is the fastest way to get them to demand things over the phone again.
Our solution: Custom Client Portal (Extranet)
At LANZA ESTUDIO, we professionalize your small business's communication. As software architects, we design relational databases connected to an exclusive web portal featuring your logo, where each client has an ultra-fast private area to self-manage without depending on you.
- Isolated Data Structure (Multi-Tenant): We design the database architecture ensuring that each user can only access their own information (invoices, contracts, designs) under the strictest security and GDPR standards.
- Secure Upload and Download System: We implement file managers connected to Cloud storage where your clients can upload heavy documentation without ever collapsing your email inbox.
- Project Status Dashboards: We program visual dashboards connected to your internal management, so the client sees in real time what exact phase their order is in without having to ask.
- Automatic Notifications: The system autonomously sends an email alert every time you upload a new file or update a schedule phase, keeping the client always informed and calm.
