For cleaning, grounds care, and facilities services businesses, recurring contracts and day-to-day operations can often feel invisible to the customer. They know the work is being done, but their only touchpoint is usually an invoice. A customer portal changes that dynamic—turning service delivery into visible value and transforming how you communicate with your clients.

At Workvue, we’ve built a white-labelled solution called the Customer Hub—your customizable customer portal that can be tailored to your business needs. Here’s how it creates impact:

1. Transparency That Builds Trust

Instead of waiting for email updates, your customers get 24/7 visibility. The dashboard provides a clear snapshot with:

  • Active Services – see what’s currently being delivered
  • Open Cases – track service issues or support tickets
  • Account Owing – know what’s due at a glance

This kind of transparency shows clients exactly what they’re paying for and strengthens long-term relationships.

2. A Self-Service Hub for Account Management

Customers can update their own account details, add or change contacts, and manage job sites without needing to call or email your team. This reduces admin on both sides while keeping information accurate and up to date.

3. Easy Job Requests and Appointments

Through the portal, clients can:

  • Request a new job instantly
  • Book an appointment for issues, concerns, or new service needs
  • Schedule or review quality audits

This flexibility helps customers feel in control while streamlining your scheduling process.

4. Simplified Invoicing and Payments

No more chasing payments or sorting through emails. Customers can:

  • View their latest invoices
  • Pay online securely
  • Track payment history

This makes billing transparent and accelerates cash flow for your business.

5. Streamlined Ordering for Consumables

Beyond services, the portal also supports placing orders for consumables, with full order history available for tracking.

6. Centralized Document Sharing

Important documents—such as contracts, compliance reports, or insurance policies—are all stored in one place. No more lost files or repeated requests.

7. Meet the Team Behind the Service

Customers can view the service provider team assigned to their account, reinforcing a personal connection and accountability.

Why This Matters

Your customers may already pay for recurring services—but with a customer portal, they see the value you deliver every day. Instead of only receiving invoices, they gain an ongoing connection with your business through real-time visibility, self-service features, and easy payment options.

The result? Higher trust, stronger retention, faster payments, and a true competitive edge.
