Understand the services and details in the service showcase

Sydnee’s Service Showcase helps you organize the services you offer, share them with clients, and manage service requests in one place.

You create your service catalog once, then control which services each client sees. Clients can view details about their active services or request new ones directly from their portal.


How the Service Showcase Works

1. Create Your Service Catalog

Services are organized into categories to keep everything easy to browse.

Example categories might include:

  • Marketing

  • Tax Services

  • Advisory

  • Web Development

Inside each category you can create individual services, such as:

  • PPC Campaign Management

  • SEO Optimization

  • Website Maintenance

  • Monthly Reporting

Your catalog is created once at the firm level and shared across all client accounts.


2. Turn Services On or Off Per Client

Each client can have a different set of active services.

Active services represent work you are currently providing to that client.

Inactive services still appear in the catalog but allow clients to request that service if they are interested.

This allows you to maintain one catalog while tailoring visibility per client.


3. Add Details to Services

Each service can include custom detail fields to store important information.

Examples of service details might include:

  • Monthly Budget

  • Account Login

  • Campaign Start Date

  • Hosting Provider

  • Reporting Schedule

Details provide context and information specific to the service.


4. Assign Values Per Client

While the structure of details is shared, the values are unique for each client.

Example:

Service: PPC Campaign Management

Details:

  • Monthly Budget

  • Google Tag Manager ID

Client values might look like:

Client A

  • Budget: $1,000

  • GTM ID: GTM-12345

Client B

  • Budget: $1,500

  • GTM ID: GTM-67890

This allows you to standardize services while customizing the information for each account.


5. Blank Details Stay Hidden

If a detail does not have a value for a specific client, it will not appear in the portal.

This keeps the client experience clean and focused only on relevant information.

For example:

Client A may see:

  • Monthly Budget

  • GTM ID

Client B might only see:

  • Monthly Budget

Unused fields are automatically hidden.


How Clients Interact With Services

Clients access services through their client portal.

Depending on the service, they may see different actions available.

Active Services

Active services allow clients to submit tickets directly to your team.

Clients can include:

  • A description of their request

  • Priority level

  • A desired due date

A task is automatically created on your internal task board so your team can begin working on it.


Inactive Services

Inactive services allow clients to request the service if they are interested.

This is a lightweight way for clients to raise their hand for something new without needing to send an email.

When this happens:

  • The request is routed to the assigned team member

  • Your team is notified

  • A task is created so the request can be tracked


Service Request Routing

Each service can be assigned to a specific team member.

When a request is submitted, Sydnee determines who should receive it using this order:

  1. Account-specific assignee override

  2. Service default assignee

  3. Firm owner (fallback)

This ensures service requests go directly to the right person.


AI-Generated Task Titles

When a client submits a service request, Sydnee automatically generates a clear task title.

The system uses:

Service name

  • Client description

  • Priority

Example output:

Prepare 2024 Annual Tax Return

This keeps your task board organized and ready to act on.


Marketing Links for Inactive Services

You can optionally attach a marketing URL to services.

If enabled, clients will see a Learn More button for inactive services.

This allows you to link to:

  • Service pages

  • Pricing pages

  • Case studies

  • Documentation

It’s a simple way to educate clients about services they don’t currently have.


Why Firms Use the Service Showcase

Clear Service Visibility

Clients always know what services they have and what else is available.

Centralized Client Information

Service details keep important information tied directly to the service.

Built-in Upsell Opportunities

Inactive services help surface additional offerings.

Structured Service Requests

Requests become organized tasks instead of scattered emails.

Better Team Routing

Requests automatically reach the right team member.
