Our Expertise

  •   B2C customer portal
  • Either for selling consumer goods or providing services, a self-service portal serves as the right tool for establishing long-term relations with customers. Taking usability parameters such as navigation, response time, credibility, reliability, and effective/ lead-generating content as the basic requirements, we ensure your portal’s convenience in a range of functions:

    •   Advanced features for order placement (e.g. custom services created with user participation)
    •   Order and service management (e.g. (de)activating a service)
    •   Wide choice of secure payment options/ payment gateway
    •   Announcements about service provision changes
    •   Personalized recommendations
    •   Account, purchase and payment history review
    •   Reporting and statistics
    •   Rey data analytics

    We offer services in tandem with the dynamic needs of the technology landscape today with our rich industry experience that offers a combination of convenient, functional, and appealing interfaces with strong B2C portal capabilities.

  •   B2B customer portal
  • Only by providing comprehensive customer self-service can a B2B customer portal fuel customer satisfaction, streamline online sales and save up on costs. Therefore, our B2B portals include power tools for every member at the customer’s buying center (allowing multiple logins for each company), in order to facilitate,

    •   End customers’ purchasing managers to place, track orders, manage services, report satisfaction
    •   End customers’ technical specialists to access your user guides and other technical resources, report problems and help manuals
    •   End customers’ financial managers to check balance, statuses of invoices and payments, etc.

    Besides, aiming at close cooperation, a B2B portal will provide extensive capabilities to help you handle competition:

    •   Automated price calculation depending on volume, promotions and delivery deadline
    •   Easy (re)ordering tools, customized product descriptions and product comparisons
    •   Customer account-based content personalization, etc.
    •   Designed with customer engagement in mind, our B2B portals minimize the end customers’ need to call up the support center.
  •   Partner portal
  • Created to empower partners, achieve competitive advantages and boost sales, 80% of partner portals end up mismanaged and off-beat with the channel partners. We know how to reverse this trend and are ready to nurture the partner portal till it starts engaging users as customers.

    We believe, a partner portal should become a daily tool for the partner’s entire staff, not just for a single vendor manager. This way, a vendor gains from direct information exchange with the partner’s personnel instead of a vendor manager. When done right, your partner portal can win those who influence the end customer’s buying decisions (e.g. a partner’s salespeople, referrals), just providing tools and informative resources to easily offer your products. Configurators, calculators, inventory, order status checking, customization tools and metrics let our experts take care of all the partner portal’s functionality for you to enhance your partnership with two-way e-communication.

  •   Vendor portal
  • A vendor portal is a collaborative platform for direct information exchange with your vendors (offline and in real-time). To encourage vendor self-service and hence reduce your vendor management overload and operating costs, our portals support the following features:

    •   Role-based access control
    •   Information and verifications’ submission, as well as profile details’ updates by vendors
    •   Search for and on-portal acceptance of open purchase orders (POs)
    •   Delivery dates setup and updates
    •   Claims settlement
    •   Direct electronic invoice submission
    •   Inquiries about payments and invoice statuses
    •   Statistics about previous purchases and supplies, etc.

    With a vendor portal, all the necessary vendor information is quickly available for all departments involved. As the company and the vendors gain from saving time and effort, a vendor portal is a win-win solution for both of you to collaborate.

    With a vendor portal specially tailored to your venture goals, automate and facilitate interactions with your suppliers, make business processes more transparent and simple.

  •   Community portal
  • We can help you build a gateway in the digital world of your community. With the user-friendly interface and strong capabilities, including chat, forums, blogs, events, media files support and more, our portals connect community members to encourage collaboration and build relationships, as well as fuel experience and idea exchange.

  •   Learning portal
  • Our learning portals already benefit public sector and private educational organizations around the globe. We know how to design a learning portal in the best interest of training providers and customers, businesses or individual learners. The portals delivered by our team facilitate,

    •   Training providers to enable the administration for trainings, manage the client base and efficiently deliver the learning materials
    •   Business customers to connect with training providers, get access to courses, allocate individualized training plans to employees and monitor their progress
    •   Tutelage to select and follow an educational path, avoiding double learning by completing a tailored program based on their previous knowledge and specific requirements

    We design web learning portals with extensive functionality that is packed in a responsive design to let our educational portals provide the true learning experience.

    Our security testing team evaluates the stability and robustness of your infrastructure and its components by testing it beyond threshold levels and normal capacities. We use special tools such as Siege and Apache JMeter to accomplish this. We apply our expertise to emulate denial of service (DoS) or distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks against your network or applications to:

    •   Determine whether it meets the requisite software/hardware robustness needs under stress conditions (e.g., heavy network traffic, process loading)
    •   Identify potential errors that can occur in case of system overload scenarios

    Application security

    Is poorly coded and insufficiently protected application putting the performance of your enterprise in grave danger rife with breaches? Czario offers competent know-how in assessing and testing the security of applications (web, mobile, desktop), and finding options to help achieve the effective protection of digital assets stored locally or remotely.

    Security Code Review

    Code-level security is influenced by the programming language used that can lead to security flaws during the development phase. Czario’s security experts detect existing loopholes before your applications get launched. Here’s what we do:
