Introduction

The Client Portal allows your clients to submit a job or quote request 24/7, rather than waiting for your office hours. After all, when it comes to quoting, speed is the name of the game. You can choose to respond with an automated quote or keep the quoting process manual.

Before Setting Up

Before you can connect, you need to make sure that:

• You have an XTRF account.
• You have an XTRF client, based on which you can successfully log in to the XTRF Customer Portal.
• You have a Username and Password for the XTRF client.
• You have the Host for the XTRF Customer Portal. E.g., organization.xtrf.eu, this is the domain you use to log in to the XTRF Customer Portal.

Typically, the URL for the XTRF Customer Portal is https://[your-xtrf-host.com]/customers. Note that for the XTRF Customer Portal you are using the same host as for the common XTRF system; the only difference is the path.
