UK buyers say "client portal" or "internal ops software" when SaaS almost works — until permissions, audit, or integrations force a parallel spreadsheet. This page is the checklist we would want you to use, including on us.
Buy, configure, or own
Buy when the product matches roles and compliance needs. Configure when the gap is implementation, not the data model. Own the code when workarounds are the weekly job.
A login page on a marketing site is not a portal. A portal is a system of record with roles.
Scope that should be written before you sign
Roles and permissions (enforced in data, not only UI). Audit history for status and document events. Named integrations and failure behaviour. Environments, repository, and handover docs. Security as a build-time concern — no third-party trackers on the product.
