Can customers see internal job costing?
No. The customer portal is designed for customer-scoped information and does not expose internal costing or other customers.
Customer portal vs email job requests
SharpFleet is a connected operations platform for businesses that manage fleet, jobs, quotes, field work, deliveries, equipment, and compliance records.
It helps global teams track trips, bookings, deliveries, receipts, equipment usage, and optional admin-controlled phone GPS where enabled.
Compare customer portal job requests with email requests for quotes, files, job status, customer visibility and internal control.
Email is familiar, but job requests can quickly become scattered across inboxes, replies, attachments and forwarded messages.
SharpFleet’s customer portal gives customers a cleaner way to request work, review quotes and follow customer-visible updates without exposing internal costs or records.
No credit card. No phone number. No spam.
Side-by-side comparison

Email requests
SharpFleet customer portal
Request structure
Information arrives in different formats and often needs retyping.
Requests can capture customer, site, files and job details in a more consistent flow.
Attachments
Files sit in email threads or downloads.
Customer-uploaded files can stay linked to the customer, quote or job.
Quote review
Quote acceptance can be buried in replies.
Customers can review, accept or request changes through a controlled quote workflow.
Visibility
Customers ask for updates because they cannot see progress.
Customer-visible job status and files can be available without exposing internal details.
Internal control
Forwarded emails can blur what is internal and customer-facing.
Internal notes, costing and private files remain separated from customer portal visibility.
Which option fits best?
- Email suits casual one-off communication.
- A customer portal suits businesses that want cleaner intake, quote review, status visibility and customer-scoped records.
Common questions
Can email still be used?
Yes. Email can still be part of communication, but structured portal requests help reduce retyping and lost context.
