clear choice

Jobs

The job is where everything comes together.

01

Other guys

Jobs or projects are a feature you put things inside.

Portara

The job is the central hub. Estimates, services, products, schedules, invoices, payments, receipts, and timesheets all connect back to it.

Features

Complete tools you'll actually use.

02

Other guys

Lots of basic features, none of them complete.

Portara

Only the features you need, built thoroughly enough to run the whole workflow.

Estimates

Estimates move the job forward.

03

Other guys

Estimates are lists of products and services.

Portara

Estimates can require e-signature approval and deposit payment before the job moves forward.

Invoices

Invoice from the job, not from memory.

04

Other guys

Generate invoices, then add items from memory.

Portara

Services and products live in the job items list. Invoices are created from those items, including percentages, so nothing is lost.

Inventory

Know what you have and where it went.

05

Other guys

Basic inventory lists.

Portara

Barcode scanning, multiple locations, transfers between jobs and storage, and returns back to the store.

Purchasing

See what to buy for each job.

06

Other guys

Rely on the estimate for product purchasing, with no connection to inventory.

Portara

See what you have in stock and create a purchasing list of missing items for each job.

Receipts

Scan your receipts instead of typing.

07

Other guys

May scan receipts to store a picture of the receipt.

Portara

Scan a receipt and AI turns it into line items you assign to jobs or stock. No double entry.

Scheduling

Schedule the job and confirm the crew.

08

Other guys

Basic job scheduling.

Portara

Schedule the job, check employee availability, send offers to work, and get accept or decline responses.

Payments

Get paid online or on-site.

09

Other guys

Send an invoice with a payment link.

Portara

Send a payment link, or collect on-site from your phone using credit card, Venmo, or Zelle in one easy step.

Payroll

Turn timesheets into payroll.

10

Other guys

Basic time tracking, maybe.

Portara

Employees enter timesheets for jobs they worked, you approve the time, then upload to Square Payroll or send totals to your payroll provider.

Desktop or mobile

Do anything everywhere.

Start at your desk, keep working from the job, and handle the same jobs, products, payments, schedules, and timesheets wherever the day takes you.
