The Excel list
3 people maintain it, and it is never quite right.
Intranet and customer portal, built for your workflows
Intranets, customer portals and tools with login. For over 1'000 employees at Meier Tobler in 3 languages, for the invoices at Availabill. We build in stages with real workflows and with AI, so you click through the first workflow after days instead of months.
Where a portal starts
4 starting points we know. A portal puts these things in one place, with access for those who need it.
The support emails
Always the same questions, always answered by hand.
The data in the ERP
The field sales team cannot see it when they are at the customer's.
The call to ask for status
Customers call to find out where their order stands.

Digiregio SuhrentalOne valley, 2 cantons, a platform for regional cooperationBack then a 50-page specification. Today a workflow that runs after days.
What has stayed the same: the analysis with your people and the tests with real users. What AI has taken over: prototype, code and documentation.

Same scale: one week is equally wide in both rows.
The first workflow stands as a clickable prototype with your real data before a module is built. That way 2 to 3 users test whether it is right.
Why an agency, and why this one
A portal is a project with 8 roles, from analysis to operation. One person working full time can cover 2 of them. We bring all 8, for the duration of the project, and afterwards as much as operation needs.
