Portals
Avrion has developed Business Portals as a dedicated platform for designing, building and scaling secure portals, bringing 25+ years of Microsoft partner experience into a structured, repeatable product environment.
Create structured online portals that extend your systems beyond your organisation.
Modern businesses do not operate in isolation.
Customers expect visibility. Partners require access. Suppliers need coordination. Field teams demand real-time information.
Business Portals provide controlled, secure digital environments that connect external users directly to your core systems, without compromising governance or security.
Avrion designs and develops business portals that integrate seamlessly with CRM, ERP and operational platforms, creating connected digital ecosystems, securely.
Connected experiences for
customers, suppliers and teams
Secure partner portals designed to streamline communication, centralise resources and improve collaboration with distributors, resellers, franchisees, suppliers and external partners.
What is a Business Portal?
A secure online platform that centralises tools, information, and services to help organisations manage operations and collaborate efficiently.

- Faster deployment through proven portal frameworks and components
- Deeper integration with Dynamics 365, Power Pages and existing business systems
- Portals for every relationship — partners, customers, suppliers and employees
- Backed by Avrion's Microsoft Partner status and 25+ years of delivery experience

- ● Role-based permissions, automation and reporting built in
- ● AI-assisted search, summaries and data interrogation

Every organisation’s requirements are different, so Business Portals covers two distinct approaches, not a one-size-fits-all platform.

Custom-Built Portals
Fully bespoke development for complex workflows, deep multi-system integration, and long-term scalability beyond what a low-code platform can offer.

This will provide organisations with faster deployment, deeper integration and the ability to extend long-term.
Considering a portal strategy?
If clients or partners rely heavily on email updates, manual reporting or fragmented access to information, a Business Health Check can identify where a portal would deliver measurable value.

What do our customers say?
“Integrating over 30 acquisitions, meant harmonising over 60 customer databases. Impressive, but of little use if the data is unstructured. Maximizer meant structured data, yes it requires focus, but the output is efficient to say the least; the new improved pipeline made us twice as effective, cross selling across the 5 business units - closure went up 4-fold. Integrating this with front line operational calls gave us a holistic view, reducing hundreds of days spent on internal calls, joining up the dots for our customers. Opportunities grew by over 20% with straightforward data polishing. The icing on the cake was with GDPR, good process with opt-outs and customer choice on contact options. When you feed this into the business it allows us to be focussed on the day-to-day operation, the back-end processes of store, scan and shred just become slicker – our focus with customers substantially better. Hundreds of hours freed up for improvements on invoicing, value added services, the day to day delivery with document management. Our project involved coupling existing platforms with new CRM technologies, training and a complex project roll-out. Avrion managed the transition without fuss or any ‘catch-you’ extra fees – a job well done.”
David English – Restore plc“We have experienced a huge shift in the efficiency of the business with the all-round delivery of service.”
Tracey Hammond – Dengie“Avrion truly understood our business and tailored Dynamics 365 to fit our needs. The phased approach made adoption seamless, and we’re already seeing major time savings. Our internal processes are now streamlined, and we’re well-positioned for future growth. It’s a game-changer for us. Looking back, partnering with Avrion to implement Microsoft Dynamics 365 was one of the best decisions we made. Our operations are now efficient, our team collaborates seamlessly, and we’re equipped to scale our business with confidence. If your company is struggling with inefficiencies like we were, I highly recommend working with Avrion – they’ll make sure you get a solution that truly works for you.”
Raj Mahay – Resin Products“Working with Avrion has been easy – not just because they understand the business, but because they are open to helping make things work. The answer is almost never “no” – but if it is – there is always an alternative solution to get around the issue put forward.”
Charlotte Hurrell – Belvoir Group“Before Dynamics 365, we were managing tours through a mix of spreadsheets, emails and manual processes. Now, everything is in one place and works together seamlessly. The system is built around how we operate, not the other way around, and automates tasks that used to take hours. Most importantly, it gives us the flexibility to manage any type of tour and confidently support our continued growth.”
Karen Leggatt – Classic Grand Touring“I’m using Power BI a lot more now than I did when we started with creating refreshable dashboards for the Senior Leadership Team and other management levels showing different elements of the business. We are doing this by implementing the data warehouse built by Avrion, which is very handy. I love Power BI and think it is such a great tool that every business can have/use as it turns your raw data into a story that shows different aspects from the company over time.”
Dan Costin – Restore Datashred“Avrion is an agile, approachable, friendly company. They are easy to deal with and deliver on what they set out to achieve.”
Tom Crowther – Belvoir“Maximizer CRM has been an invaluable tool. It enables us to be very efficient, keep on top of client projects and opportunities, and deliver the service we want to for our customers.”
Graham Cording – Smart Presentations“After a feasibility study designed to ascertain which CRM to integrate into our business, I found that Avrion put together the best end scenario and product, Maximizer, to take our business forward. The team at Avrion showed their diligence and knowledge, which was a clear deciding factor in instigating our partnership. We look forward to strengthening our relationship going forward, as CRM evolution never stops! We can now see in real time how all of our opportunities are progressing. We also have automated reports in our Dashboard module showing the business sales performance and pipeline, which allows us to focus on each individual opportunity without any being left unnurtured. Avrion has now linked our Maximizer with Mailchimp to allow for focused marketing campaigns based on the data we add to the Address Book. We now have a clear sales process that can be tracked with clear ‘what’s next’ actions to implement.”
Craig Sansom – Prestige“Avrion has, from the start, been very honest and clear about what we can achieve without spending vast sums of money on an entirely new system. We created an automation wish list for Avrion, who were brilliant at listening and communicating as they tailored the project specifically to the scope. Avrion built the system according to our needs and fine-tuned it as required once we began to use it. They have been very supportive throughout and helped us navigate through the entire process. We now have a system that can evolve as the development does, to improve and continually improve account visibility for our homeowners and improve cash flow by utilising the automation that we required.”
