Customer portal software with no password to forget
A no-password page where customers see their visits, bills, quotes and plan, and ask for new work.
Live today, with parts coming soon · Updated
Coming visits
"Arriving between 8:00 and 10:00 AM", the services, the crew's first names, and On the way or Working now on the day.
Move a visit
Customers pick a new time from real open windows. Not on the day, and not once the crew is on the way.
A note for the crew
"The side gate is locked, use the code 4417." It reaches the crew lead, with an alert if they are already on the way.
Bills and quotes
Open invoices with their balance and due date, and quotes waiting for an answer.
Ask for new work
The booking steps, already filled in. The request lands on the pipeline on the customer's own record.
Their requests
What they asked for and where it stands: received, quote sent, booked or declined.
Every customer can have one private link to their own customer portal in Birdy: coming visits with their arrival window, open invoices and quotes, their service plan, past visits, and a button to ask for new work. There is no password. The office decides when to send the link.
What can customers do in the portal?
The page opens with "Hi Megan", their next visit, anything to pay or approve, and Ask for new work. Below that:
- Visits: coming up and the last 10 past visits, with the sign-off state.
- Change the time on a coming visit, from the same open windows your booking page uses.
- Add a note for us on a visit, up to five per visit.
- Open invoices ("Due Nov 20" or "Late", with the balance) and open quotes.
- Your plan: its name, how often, the price per visit and the next visit.
- Your requests and where each one stands.
- Your details: contact changes wait for the office to approve, and a switch for reminder emails.
You can hide arrival times if you only promise a day.
How do customers log in?
With a private link, no password. The office taps Send portal link on the customer, or copies it. The link lasts until you turn it off, or for 30, 90 or 365 days if you prefer. You can see when it was sent and last opened.
If a customer loses the link, they enter the email or phone number you have for them on your portal page, and the link is emailed to the address on file. The page gives the same answer whatever is typed, so it never reveals who is or isn't your customer.
Why give customers a portal?
To answer "when are you coming?" and "what do I owe?" before the phone rings. A customer who can see their arrival window, move a visit or leave the gate code doesn't need the office for it, and the note goes straight to the crew instead of through someone's memory.

Questions
Do customers need a password?
No. Each customer has one private link. If they lose it, they can ask for it again with their email or phone number, and it is emailed to them.
Can customers pay in the portal?
Not yet. They can see what they owe and when it is due. Online payment is coming with card payments.
Can customers reschedule themselves?
Yes, if you use open times. They pick a new window and tap Move my visit. It isn't offered on the day of the visit or once the crew is on the way.
Is the portal sent automatically?
No. The office sends the link when it wants to, from the customer's page.
