LaunchBayCustomer Portal for Manufacturers

Slow customer onboarding delays production. LaunchBay fixes that.

See every onboarding

THE PROBLEM

Onboardings stall and you don't catch it until production schedules slip.

SOLUTION

LaunchBay shows every customer's onboarding on one screen, down to the spec or signature holding up a launch, so you can step in before it costs you delivery dates.

Dynamic workflows

THE PROBLEM

Every customer has different specs, materials, and approval steps, which creates manual work for your team.

SOLUTION

LaunchBay's reusable workflows adapt to each customer, so you build your process once and run it for every job.

Automated reminders

THE PROBLEM

Production only moves forward when you chase customers for approvals, POs, and spec sign-offs.

SOLUTION

LaunchBay automatically reminds customers what they still owe and sends them straight back to their portal to do it.

Approvals built in

THE PROBLEM

Samples, prototypes, proofs, and drawings bounce back and forth over email, slowing production and burying decisions.

SOLUTION

Customers review and sign off on samples, prototypes, and drawings inside their portal. Every approval has a timestamp and lives with the project, so production starts the moment sign-off lands.

Data validation

THE PROBLEM

Customers submit specs and forms with missing fields or incomplete files, and your team has to clean it up.

SOLUTION

LaunchBay's AI validates submissions as they arrive, flags issues, and asks the customer to fix them before anyone on your team sees them.

In-portal customer chat

THE PROBLEM

Customer questions get lost across email threads, Slack DMs, and phone calls, and nobody on your team has the full picture.

SOLUTION

Every customer conversation lives inside their portal, threaded to the project. New team members open the portal and see the full history, no email forwarding required.

“LaunchBay customer portals give us credibility our competitors don't have. Our biggest clients have started referring bigger clients, and it's a direct result of our customer experience."

Frequently Asked Questions

How is LaunchBay different from project management tools like Asana or Monday?
Those tools are built for managing work internally across your team. LaunchBay is built for the work that happens between you and your customers: collecting specs, getting POs signed, handling sample and drawing approvals, and keeping customers accountable for what they need to provide. Most manufacturing teams use LaunchBay alongside an ERP or MRP, not instead of one.
Does my customer need to create an account or download anything?
No. LaunchBay portals are loginless. Customers access their workspace through a unique link, no signup, no password, no app download. That's the reason completion rates are so much higher than traditional portals.
Can I use LaunchBay specifically for new customer onboarding?
Yes. Many manufacturers use LaunchBay primarily for new customer onboarding: collecting specs, signed POs, NDAs, and compliance docs before production starts. Others use it across the full customer lifecycle, from RFQ to delivery. Either way works.
How does LaunchBay handle document collection and e-signatures?
You can request file uploads, completed forms, and e-signatures directly inside a customer portal. Customers see exactly what's outstanding for their order: specs, NDAs, signed POs, compliance docs. They complete it all in one place. No separate DocuSign account, no extra link to send.
What is a customer portal?
A customer portal is a private workspace you share with a customer where they can submit specs, upload files, sign POs, and see what's needed from them. LaunchBay gives every customer their own portal branded to your business, accessible via a single link. No account creation required.
Does LaunchBay integrate with other tools?
Yes. LaunchBay connects with thousands of tools through native integrations and Zapier, including CRMs, ERP and MRP systems, project management software, cloud storage, and more. You can trigger portal creation automatically when a quote is accepted or a deal closes in your CRM.
What types of manufacturers use LaunchBay?
LaunchBay is used by manufacturers and engineering firms with document-heavy customer onboarding. Custom manufacturers, contract manufacturers, job shops, product engineering firms, and anyone whose new customer projects start with specs, drawings, POs, and approvals. If you've ever sent a follow-up email asking a customer where the signed PO or final spec is, LaunchBay is built for you.
