Build the portals and tools your plant needs, without waiting on IT.

Softr lets manufacturers build secure, no-code portals and internal apps on top of existing systems. You can build anything from customer and dealer portals, supplier and vendor portals, inventory and asset tracking, maintenance (CMMS) apps, and internal ops dashboards. It becomes the front end for data you already keep in an ERP, SQL database, HubSpot, or Airtable.

Yes. Softr connects to SQL databases, HubSpot, Airtable, Google Sheets, and REST APIs, so you can expose order status, invoices, or account data to customers and dealers without rebuilding your back office. Your ERP or database stays the source of truth, and Softr is the secure, branded interface on top.

Yes. Softr enforces user-level, row-level permissions, so every customer, dealer, or distributor who logs in sees only their own orders, invoices, and data and never someone else's account.

Yes. Softr supports single sign-on, including SAML, so employees and partners can log in with your existing identity provider (Okta, Azure Entra, and others). SSO is available for teams that require it for go-live, alongside options like enforced two-factor authentication.

Softr is SOC 2 Type II compliant and GDPR-ready, with EU data-hosting options (including Frankfurt) for teams with data-residency requirements. Because Softr can read from your existing database rather than storing everything itself, sensitive production and customer data can stay in your own system.

Yes. You can build a portal where customers view open invoices, pay them via Stripe, reorder parts, and download documents, replacing status phone calls and emails. Manufacturers use this to give customers self-service access to the data your team currently handles manually.

You can connect Airtable, Google Sheets, SmartSuite, Softr's own database, SQL databases, HubSpot, and REST APIs. You do not have to migrate your data into Softr and for teams that require it, Softr can act purely as the front end while data stays in your existing SQL, ERP, or CRM.

Softr does not charge per external end-user the way per-seat tools do, so scaling a portal to hundreds or thousands of customers, dealers, or suppliers doesn't multiply your cost per person. This is why manufacturers move to Softr from per-user platforms where large portals become prohibitively expensive.

Yes. Softr is no-code, so operations, sales, or marketing staff build and maintain portals themselves critical for teams with one developer or none. AI-assisted building and templates let non-programmers stand up a working app and keep it updated without engineering time.

Yes. Softr apps are responsive and work on phones and tablets, and can be installed as a mobile web app (PWA). Frontline and field teams use them for QR-code scanning, data entry, asset tracking, and inspections from the shop floor or in the field.

Yes. You can give suppliers and vendors a secure login to view open purchase orders, submit documents, and update information with each vendor restricted to their own records. This removes back-and-forth email and gives partners self-service access to what they need.

Yes. You can fully brand the portal with your company's logo, colors, and a custom domain (including subdomains like portal.yourcompany.com), so customers and dealers experience it as your own product, not a third-party tool.

Softr provides the documentation security and procurement teams ask for including SOC 2 Type II reports, GDPR/data-processing details, SSO/SAML support, and EU hosting options. Many manufacturing buyers complete a privacy and security review before rollout, and these controls are what let the platform pass.
