Your questions, answered

• How fast can agencies set up a client portal with Noloco?
  Agencies can launch a client portal in minutes using Noloco’s Agency OS template. If building from scratch, most teams can create an internal system in an afternoon using client and project lists. Noloco’s built-in AI assistant helps accelerate setup by suggesting structures, creating tables, and guiding configuration.

• Can Noloco track client emails and CRM communication?
  Noloco supports automated email logging through integrations with Make, Zapier, and n8n, allowing agencies to centralize client communication inside their Agency OS.

• Does Noloco integrate with AI tools and MCP?
  Yes. Noloco supports MCP integrations with ChatGPT, Cursor, Claude, or Gemini, helping agencies connect operational data to AI workflows and automation tools.

• Which Noloco plan is best for agencies?
  Most agencies can launch an Agency OS on Noloco’s Starter plan, while growing teams typically benefit from the Pro plan for advanced operational features and scalability. Pricing mainly scales based on the number of team members and client users.

• Can clients access the portal securely?
  Yes. Noloco allows agencies to create secure, white-labeled client portals where each client only sees their own projects, files, and updates using role-based permissions.

• Can agencies connect Noloco with QuickBooks?
  Yes. Agencies can connect QuickBooks to Noloco using automation tools like Zapier, Make, and n8n to centralize invoices and financial reporting.

• How does client and team collaboration work in Noloco?
  ‍Noloco includes built-in collaboration features like comments, internal notes, client communication, notifications, and file sharing across projects and workflows.

• Do we have aggregate views of comments?
  ‍Agencies can configure notifications, assignees, and activity tracking so important updates are not missed. Because comments exist directly on records like projects and tasks, teams can centralize communication instead of relying on scattered Slack messages or email threads. Internal notes and client-facing comments can also be managed separately.

• How is Noloco different from ManyRequests, SPP, and Kitchen?
  Many agency tools focus on a single workflow like client requests or project management. Noloco is different because it acts as a flexible Agency Operating System that connects delivery, client collaboration, reporting, automations, and operational workflows in one place. Agencies can fully customize the system around how they already work instead of adapting to rigid software processes.
