Laksiri Cargo Portal
One Laravel portal for an air and sea cargo company in more than 108 countries: pickups, tracking, loading, cashier, accounting and driver apps.
Customer portal development
We build self-service portals where customers, clients, partners and suppliers log in to see their orders, documents, bookings and invoices, and stop phoning your office to ask. Connected to the CRM, accounts and operations systems you already use. A first version starts from £1,999.

Portals for every side of your business
A portal gives an outside group a controlled window into your systems. These are the ones we are asked for.
Customer self-service portals
Orders, tracking, invoices, payments and support tickets, in one login. Laksiri’s customers track shipments through ours.
Client portals for professional services
Secure document exchange, signatures, project status and invoices for accountants, solicitors and consultancies.
Partner and dealer portals
Price lists, stock, orders, marketing material and commission statements for resellers.
Supplier and contractor portals
Purchase orders, job sheets, compliance documents and invoice submission.
Member and learning portals
Bookings, course content, progress and renewals. Prep2Pass students manage their lessons through one.
Employee portals
Rotas, holiday requests, policies and payslips, in one place your staff can reach from a phone.
What a portal connects to, and how it stays secure
A portal is only useful if the data in it is current, and only safe if each person sees exactly what they should.
- CRM
- HubSpot, Salesforce or Dynamics, so contact and account details stay in one place.
- Accounts and payments
- Xero, QuickBooks or Sage for invoices, and Stripe or GoCardless to pay them in the portal.
- Documents
- SharePoint, Google Drive or S3 storage, with access checked on every download.
- Operations and ERP
- Bookings, stock, jobs and shipments read from the system your team already works in.
- Single sign-on and two-factor
- Microsoft or Google sign-in for business users, and two-factor authentication where the data warrants it.
- Roles, encryption and audit trails
- Access decided per role and per account, data encrypted at rest, and every change recorded. Hosted in the UK or EU.

“Before working with Boolet, our internal processes were slow and fragmented. Their custom software streamlined everything into one platform, saving us hours each week. Boolet exceeded our expectations, the team was highly professional throughout the project.”

What makes a portal work
Portals fail when they try to do everything on day one.
Start with
- One clear first job, such as tracking or invoices.
- Sign-in that takes seconds, including on a phone.
- Data that is current, not a copy from last night.
Then add
- Payments and self-service changes.
- Notifications when something needs the customer.
- Analytics on what people use, to decide the next feature.
- More roles: partners, suppliers, staff.

Questions buyers ask
Straight answers. If yours is not here, email us.
- What is a customer portal?
- A secure login where your customers see their own information, such as orders, documents, bookings and invoices, and do routine tasks themselves instead of contacting your team.
- How much does a customer portal cost in the UK?
- A first version starts from £1,999. A portal with several roles and integrations is usually a Product build from £4,999. The written proposal sets the exact price.
- How long does it take to build?
- A focused first version takes 4 to 5 weeks. Portals with several integrations take 10 to 12.
- Is a portal secure enough for client documents?
- We build access by role and by account, encrypt data at rest, keep audit trails and can add two-factor authentication and single sign-on. Hosting is in the UK or EU.
- Will it work on phones?
- Yes. Every portal we build works in a mobile browser. If customers need notifications or offline access, we can add a mobile app later on the same API.
