§ 01 · Surface

One place for everything.

No more chasing email threads or hunting for the latest version. The Portal is the single source of truth between you and Smart Hands.

01 · Raise

Work Orders

Raise scope, attach a runbook, pick a site, set an NTE. We confirm and quote — fixed or time & materials — back in the Portal.

02 · Approve

Estimates

Itemised estimates with hours and materials laid out. Approve, query, or counter from the Work Order. We don't exceed approved estimates without coming back to you.

03 · Track

Visits

GPS-tracked check-in and check-out per Visit. You see the engineer arrive, work, and leave — with the photo log building up as it happens.

04 · Close

Invoices

Visits roll up into invoices you can download as PDF straight from the Work Order. Time logs and photo evidence stay attached for your records.

§ 02 · Inside

What's in the Portal.

The full feature surface — not a marketing list.

§ 03 · Workflow

Raise. Approve. Track. Close.

Same shape for every job — whether it's a 10-minute cable swap or a 22-hour right-sizing.

A native iOS app with the same Work Orders, Visits, Messaging, and Materials Orders — plus push notifications when status changes or the engineer messages you.

§ 05 · Team

Built for teams.

Add the whole team. No per-seat charges. No single point of contact on your side.

01 · Seats

Unlimited team members

Add as many colleagues as you want. Everyone can see and manage Work Orders — cover stays in place if someone's away.

02 · Auth

2FA & SAML SSO — free for every team

Two-factor authentication on every account. SAML SSO is included for every team, at no extra cost — not gated behind an enterprise tier. Wire it up against Okta, Entra ID, Google Workspace or any SAML 2.0 IdP.

03 · Alerts

Per-user notifications

Each person picks the channels and events they want — email, iOS push, or both. Status changes, messages, Visit completion.

04 · Audit

Audit trail

Who approved what, and when. Every Estimate signature, status change and message is timestamped against the Work Order.

§ 06 · FAQs

Questions about the Portal.

How do I get access?

Either book a short onboarding call or skip it and sign up online. We invite you to the Portal, you sign the MSA inside it, and you're ready to raise Work Orders.

Does the Portal cost anything?

No. The Portal and the iOS app are free for clients. You pay £95/hour for engineer time on Work Orders — whole-hour billing — and at-cost for any materials. See how billing works.

Can my whole team have access?

Yes — unlimited seats, no per-user fees. Everyone can see and manage Work Orders so cover stays in place when people are away. SAML SSO is included for every team at no extra cost — works with Okta, Entra ID, Google Workspace, or any SAML 2.0 IdP.
