Business portals
Secure digital access for customers and partners
Provide controlled, real time access to your systems without compromising security or control.
Customers and partners increasingly expect direct access to information. Order status, case updates, invoices, documentation and service history should not require emails or manual intervention.
Business portals allow you to expose the right information, to the right people, in a secure and structured way.
Avrion designs and integrates business portals that connect seamlessly with Dynamics 365, finance systems and wider Microsoft platforms.

Why business portals matter
Without a structured portal strategy, organisations often rely on:
- Manual data requests via email
- Inconsistent information shared across teams
- Limited visibility for customers
- Delays in responding to partner queries
- Increased administrative workload
Portals reduce friction, improve transparency and support scalable growth.
What effective business portals should deliver
A well designed business portal enables you to:
- Provide customers with self service access
- Allow partners to track orders, cases or projects
- Share documents securely
- Reduce inbound enquiries
- Improve customer and partner experience
- Maintain full control over data access
The goal is efficiency for your organisation and clarity for your users.
Key business portal capabilities we implement
Customer self-service portals
We create portals that allow customers to:
- View account information
- Track cases and service requests
- Access invoices and documents
- Update relevant data securely
Reducing manual workload for internal teams.
Partner and supplier portals
For organisations working with external partners, portals can provide:
- Order and project visibility
- Shared documentation
- Collaboration workflows
- Performance tracking
Supporting stronger commercial relationships.
Secure authentication and access control
Security is central to portal design.
Avrion ensures:
- Role-based access permissions
- Secure authentication and identity management
- Data level access controls
- Audit and monitoring capabilities
So users only see what they are authorised to access.
Integrated workflows and automation
Portals are most effective when integrated with internal systems.
We connect portals to:
- Dynamics 365 Sales and Customer Service
- Finance and ERP systems
- Power Automate workflows
- Reporting through Power BI
Creating seamless, automated end-to-end processes.
Business portals and scalability
As organisations grow, manual communication becomes unsustainable.
We design portals that are:
- Secure and compliant
- Scalable as user numbers increase
- Integrated with evolving systems
- Governed with clear ownership and maintenance
Ensuring long-term stability.
Considering a portal to reduce manual workload?
If customers or partners frequently request information that already exists in your systems, a Business Health Check can help identify where a portal could reduce friction and cost.
We assess:
- Existing workflows
- Data accessibility and security
- Operational bottlenecks
- Opportunities for automation
Providing clear recommendations aligned to commercial priorities.

What do our customers say?
“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“We first came across Maximizer Sales Leader Edition (SLE) when looking for a CRM system with quoting functionality to replace an aged manual system based mainly on Excel! From development to implementation, each stage was found easy to transact and made easy to understand with the support offered found to be exceptional. Our main area of focus was to improve systems to reduce stress on resource with minimal impact on the team – this was achieved with great success & the system welcomed.”
Liane Atherton – AAF Air Filters“We found the team at Avrion really understood our needs. It felt like they’d seen it all before, and that gave us confidence from day one. With Maximizer CRM, what it really does is allow us to track that from start to result stage… it’s helped change the mentality of our business.”
Chris Harrison – Heidelberg Materials Contracting“With our workload and team outgrowing our old method of workflow management, we needed a solution. Having worked with Avrion in the past, we asked them to take a look. Dave, Nick and Sam took the time to go through our process with us. It was decided that a ticketing system was required - the guys set up what we required and assisted us whilst we inputted our data and got it going. I think the level of customer service we have received from Avrion is 5 stars.”
Mike Bevan – SPM Instrument UK“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“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““The reason why I like working with Jon is because he always comes up with a solution. This was a small project but it has a big impact and solves lots of time problems. I can now make updates to the communications that go out myself and don’t need the support of Avrion for this going forward, although they are always on hand if I need help.””
Jane Margetts – Restore Records Management“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“Avrion is able to grasp a concept quickly and turn it into a deliverable that can make a significant difference to a business. They take the time to understand the requirement, taking concepts and ideas and turning them into tangible benefits to achieve the best outcome possible for the customer. I'd 100% recommend Avrion. It's been a dream working with them. They have helped us at every point in this process. I've worked with people in the past where there's a bit of tension, but with Avrion they always helped to direct our journey, in a way that was working with us as a partner, over anything else.”
Jasmin Dudden – Restore Datashred“We found Avrion very professional, yet friendly and fun to do business with. They really gained our trust.”
