Client Onboarding Platform

Stop chasing clients. Start onboarding them.

Your client clicks one link. They answer your intake questions, upload documents, sign the agreement, and pay — step by step, in one sitting. Auto-save means they can pause and come back without losing progress.

Portico dashboard showing active client onboardings with progress tracking, recent activity, and client status — everything you need to manage onboarding in one view
01

Build your flow

Drag in form fields, file uploads, signature blocks, and payment steps. Set conditions so clients only see what applies to them.

02

Send one link

Your client opens a branded portal — not another email attachment. They fill in the intake form, upload documents, sign the agreement, and pay — all in one guided flow.

03

Done

Signed agreements, uploaded files, and payments appear in your dashboard in real time. Automated reminders follow up on anything outstanding.

Follow a single onboarding from send to completion — what your client sees and what you see.

Core Features

Everything clients need, in one flow

No more juggling Google Forms, DocuSign, and Stripe invoices. Portico handles the entire intake sequence.

Smart intake forms

Multi-step forms with conditional logic, file uploads, and required fields. Clients see only what applies to them — no scrolling through irrelevant sections.

One form replaces your intake, signatures, and file collection.

E-signatures

Legally binding signatures embedded directly in the onboarding flow. Clients sign where they need to — no app switching, no separate DocuSign links.

Built in, not bolted on.

Built-in payments

Collect deposits, retainers, or project fees as part of onboarding.

Automated reminders

Nudge clients who stall. Configurable sequences until every step is done.

Custom branding

Your logo, colors, and domain. Clients see your brand, not ours.

Progress dashboard

See who's done, who's stuck, and what's overdue — at a glance.

Client data, handled right

Your clients share contracts, tax documents, and personal data. We take that seriously.
