Branding & Customization
The system can be tailored to carry a brand's identity, so the people using it feel they're using their organization's system. This is a key advantage when offering the platform to clients: the same powerful platform can wear many different brands.
This page explains what can be customized and how it works — in plain terms.
Two Levels of Branding
There are two distinct ways the system is branded. Knowing the difference helps set expectations with clients.
1. Per-Client Branding (instant, no rebuild)
The system can show each client their own branding automatically. When a client's details are set up, their people see:
- The client's name in page titles and on the login screen.
- The client's logo on the sign-in screen.
- The client's icon in the browser tab and when the app is saved to a phone's home screen.
This works per company, so a single system can serve several clients / branches at once — each seeing their own brand. Setting it up is a matter of entering the client's details and uploading their logo; no rebuild or developer work is required.
2. The Base Look & Feel (set once)
Beyond the per-client branding above, the system has an overall look — its default colors, fonts, and default logo. This is the GoldServe product identity, set up once. It's what users see before a client's own logo is applied, and it defines the accent color and typography throughout the app.
| Per-Client Branding | Base Look & Feel | |
|---|---|---|
| What it changes | Name, logo, icon — per client | Default colors, fonts, default logo |
| When to use | Every new client | Once, when defining the GoldServe product (or a new reseller brand) |
| Effort | Enter details + upload logo | A one-time design setup |
| Takes effect | Immediately | After the setup is applied |
What Can Be Customized
| Element | Customizable? | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Organization name (titles, login) | ✅ Per client | Pulled from the client's company details. |
| Login-screen logo | ✅ Per client | Upload the client's logo. |
| Browser tab / app icon | ✅ Per client | Upload the client's icon. |
| Accent color (buttons, highlights) | ✅ Base setup | Part of the overall look; set for the product. |
| Fonts | ✅ Base setup | Defined in the base look. |
| Layout & features | ➖ Standard | The app's structure stays consistent for usability. |
Onboarding a New Client's Branding
A simple, repeatable checklist for each new client:
- Enter the client's organization name.
- Upload the client's logo (used on the login screen and as the tab icon).
- Confirm the primary company is set, so it provides the default brand before sign-in.
- Assign the client's people to their company so they see the right branding.
- Sign in as a client user and check the name, logo, and icon all look right.
That's it — no technical steps for standard per-client branding.
Things to Finalize in the Base Setup
A couple of brand details belong to the one-time base setup rather than per-client onboarding. It's worth confirming these are set to the intended GoldServe identity before going to market:
- The accent color used across the app.
- The app description and theme color shown when the system is saved to a phone as an app.
These are set once and apply everywhere a client hasn't supplied their own logo.
Confirm before go-to-market
Base-setup details apply across every client that hasn't supplied their own logo, so double-check them before launch — they're the fallback brand everyone sees.
Going Further
For a deeper rebrand — for example, launching the platform under an entirely different product name — more extensive customization is possible. That's a larger, one-time effort handled during product setup, not part of routine client onboarding.
Raise it early
If a client needs more than name, logo, and colors, flag it at the start of the engagement so the extra setup can be planned in — it isn't a same-day change.
