Frequently asked questions
A consulting client portal is a secure, centralized hub where your clients can log in to view project updates, share documents, track deliverables and invoices, and communicate with your team. It gives clients one trusted space to access everything related to your work together, instead of juggling emails and spreadsheets.
A consulting client portal is used to provide clients with one place to track project progress, review deliverables, and communicate with your firm. Instead of searching through email threads or file shares, clients can log in to see updates, timelines, and reports.
Consulting firms use portals to streamline project delivery, improve client communication, and make engagements more transparent. With Softr, you can build a custom consulting portal in hours and connect it to the tools you already use.
A custom consulting portal makes client engagements easier to manage and more professional.The main benefits are:
- Convenience for clients: They can access deliverables, timelines, updates, and more in one place.
- Time savings for consultants: Less time spent answering repeated client questions, providing status updates, or searching for files.
- Security: Sensitive project data is protected behind secure logins instead of shared across email.
- Transparency: Clients always have visibility into project status, deadlines, and outcomes.
- Professional look: A branded portal reinforces your firm’s credibility and imrpoves the client experience.
With Softr, you also get the benefit of building and customizing your consulting portal quickly, without needing developers.
A good consulting portal should make it easy for firms and clients to collaborate on projects and deliverables. The most important features include:
- Secure logins and permissions to ensure clients only access their own project data.
- Dashboards and project views to give clients visibility into project progress, milestones, and deliverables.
- Document and file sharing to upload proposals, reports, or contracts.
- E-signature and PDF download to allow clients to sign agreements digitally and download deliverables.
- Offer and invoice tracking to centralize billing and project approvals.
- In-app comments and messaging to keep all communication in one place.
- Design customization to tailor the portal to your firm’s branding.
- Integrations and data flexibility to connect with CRMs, spreadsheets, or other data you need.
- AI assistance to let clients and consultants query project data, summarize invoices, and get instant answers from live app data.
With these features, a consulting client portal becomes a professional, transparent hub that makes projects easier to manage and clients happier.
Traditionally, creating a custom client portal meant hiring developers or paying for rigid software with limited flexibility. But you can build one much faster using no-code client portal builders like Softr.
Here are the basic steps:
- Connect your data: Start by choosing where your client and project data will live. With Softr, you can build on top of tools you already use, such as Airtable, Google Sheets, Notion, SQL, or HubSpot. If you don’t have a system in place, you can also create and manage data directly in Softr Databases. This flexibility means you don’t need to switch systems — the portal adapts to your workflow.
- Set up users and permissions: Define roles like clients, consultants, and admins, add secure logins, and control who can see or edit information. Softr makes this easy with built-in authentication and role-based access.
- Build your pages: Add dashboards, project trackers, deliverable lists, or invoice tables with drag-and-drop blocks.
- Customize design and branding: White-label your client portal by applying your firm’s logo and brand colors. A professional, branded look builds trust and client confidence.
- Add workflows and automations: Automate routine actions and fine-tune permissions. For instance, trigger email notifications when a new deliverable is uploaded or when a project reaches a milestone.
- Publish and iterate: Launch your portal in hours, then update or expand it or add new sections as your practice grows.
With Softr, you can do all this without coding, using pre-built templates, integrations, or an AI app builder to get started even faster.
Yes. You can build a custom consulting client portal without coding by using no-code platforms like Softr. Instead of hiring developers, you can launch a secure portal in hours.
With Softr, you can connect your data from Airtable, Google Sheets, HubSpot, Notion, SQL (and more) — or use Softr’s built-in database. You can also set up secure logins and add pages like dashboards, timelines, deliverables, or invoices with simple drag-and-drop blocks.
Finally, you can apply your branding, control permissions, and add workflows, all without writing a single line of code.
With Softr, you can build a consulting client portal on top of the tools you already use, so you don’t need to move your data or start from scratch. Softr supports 15+ native integrations, including Airtable, Google Sheets, Notion, HubSpot, and SQL databases like MySQL, PostgreSQL, and Supabase. You can also connect any other tool using the REST API connector.
If you don’t have a system in place, Softr includes its own Softr Databases, where you can design and manage your data structure directly. This means you can choose whether to keep data where it already lives or build everything inside Softr.
No matter the source, Softr lets you sync data in real time, control permissions, and decide what clients can view or edit. That flexibility makes it easy to centralize client work and keep your portal up to date.
Yes. With Softr, you can add a built-in AI assistant to your consulting client portal without extra setup. Instead of coding prompts or configuring separate tools, the assistant works directly with the data inside your portal.
For example, clients can ask: “What’s the status of my current engagement?” or “Show me the latest deliverables.” Consultants can ask: “Summarize project risks this month” or “Which client tasks are overdue?”
The (optional) AI assistant only reads the data users already have access to, so clients and consultants get instant answers without ever seeing information outside their permissions.
Most consulting client portals are either too rigid (hard to customize for different client needs) or too complex (require developers to maintain). Softr gives you both flexibility and speed.
- No coding required: Drag-and-drop blocks, pre-built templates, and secure login options mean you can launch in hours, not weeks.
- Data flexibility: Connect existing data sources (Airtable, Notion, SQL, Google Sheets, HubSpot, Clickup, BigQuery) or manage your data directly in Softr Databases.
- Custom branding: Match the look and feel of your firm with full design control.
- Granular permissions: Control what each client sees or can do, with roles like client, consultant, or admin.
- Built-in AI assistant: Unlike many builders, Softr includes AI so clients and consultants can get insights directly inside the portal.
This combination of speed and flexibility makes Softr a great option for consulting firms that want to deliver a professional and secure client experience without developer overhead.
