Customer portal: status and invoices without the phone tag
How a customer portal cuts “is my car ready?” calls with status, inspections, and secure invoice downloads.
Every “is my car ready?” call costs time. A good portal replaces part of that with transparent status: job progress, relevant inspection/quote info, an appointment slot after approval, and invoices (summary + PDF). Not internal notes — and not cold self-booking off the street.
Log in or a secure link, plus time-limited token links for specific jobs, keeps the barrier low. The journey is approve → book → track → pay (online only if the shop has connected Mollie or Tikkie). Motivox ships a customer portal beside the office and technician web portals — one data source.
