Enhancing Efficiency Through Customer Portal Development

Smart Academy, a HVACR knowledge base, struggled with manually distributing data sheets multiple times a day, disrupting workflow and efficiency.
Smart Academy partnered with us to create a dedicated customer portal, automating data delivery and streamlining access to technical resources.
The result: The implementation of the customer portal significantly improved efficiency by automating data dissemination, reducing workflow interruptions and enhancing accessibility for existing customers and web crawlers.
