Customer & Partner Portals
Fluence plans role-based customer and partner portals that organize resources, communication, support paths, account information, and self-service tasks in one controlled experience.
When to use this offering
This offering is useful when customers, partners, distributors, dealers, resellers, or account contacts repeatedly need resources, updates, tools, or support—but the experience is fragmented across people, folders, emails, and separate systems. The information may already exist. The problem is that external users cannot reliably find or use it without assistance.
Resources are scattered
Documents, product information, videos, training, forms, and support content live across emails, folders, PDFs, and disconnected platforms.
Teams answer the same requests
Sales, support, account, and partner teams repeatedly send materials or explain where external users can find them.
Every user sees the same experience
Customers and partners with different roles, account types, regions, or relationship levels need different resources and permissions.
Partners lack enablement support
Distributors, dealers, or resellers need controlled access to sales materials, training, announcements, product updates, and deal-support resources.
Customer tasks are too manual
Users depend on representatives to submit requests, access onboarding materials, locate support, or complete routine account actions.
The existing portal is a file dump
Content has accumulated without clear navigation, ownership, hierarchy, or resource organization.
The first version is undefined
The organization wants a portal but has not agreed on its users, access model, features, content, workflows, or launch scope.
What you get
Deliverables may include a portal strategy brief, user-role and access map, portal sitemap, wireframes, resource architecture, feature-prioritization matrix, content plan, and launch and ownership recommendations.

What this can include
What a Customer or Partner Portal Can Include
Every portal is shaped by the external audiences it serves, what each user needs to accomplish, which information requires controlled access, and what should be included in the first release.
Great portals are more than repositories of information, they're systems for enabling action. The interactive example below demonstrates how customer and partner resources, support content, product information, business tools, and operational workflows can be organized into a connected digital experience. As you explore the portal, you’ll see how information, guidance, and functionality are structured around the tasks users need to complete rather than the systems that store the content. The objective is not simply to centralize resources, but to help customers and partners find products faster, complete tasks more efficiently, and engage more effectively with the customer. By centralizing context-sensitive information into a unified experience, the system reduces friction, improves self-service, and delivers ongoing value to partners, customers and employees alike.
Use the Take the tour button in the upper right corner, or explore the system on your own. You can change the user perspective by selecting Operator, FSC Sales Rep, or PepsiCo Partner Admin in the upper right.
