B2B Customer Web Portal
This blog will help you understand what functions and features are necessary to make a great B2B Customer Web Portal that can improve the digital experience of your customers as world economies open their borders post-pandemic.
A Customer Web Portal is a secure, self-service business-to-business website integrating with Microsoft Dynamics NAV / 365 Business Central to automate the transfer of information between the two systems. It is designed to give your company the ability to connect and share pertinent account and product information with your customers, while also allowing these customers to easily search, enter and view information. It is a centralised gateway between your company and your customers.
Customer Web Portal has come a long way over the last 15 years or so. The Covid-19 pandemic has impacted the business world with varied lockdown and travel restrictions. Businesses are forced to take a serious review of the importance of this solution.
