The property is the job
The install schedule should know the job. Products pulled from storage should show on the job. The invoice should know what was approved. Portara keeps that chain intact from the first walkthrough through pickup.
One source of truth for every address you are staging.

Questions, answered
Portara follows the way staging businesses already work—by property, with the stock, people, documents, hours, and money attached.
Inventory is one connected part of Portara, not a separate warehouse system. You can track staging pieces across storage locations and properties while estimates, scheduling, invoices, payments, receipts, and time stay tied to the same jobs.
Yes. Pull a product quantity from a selected storage location onto the property job. Portara reduces stock on hand and records the quantity as filled on that job. After pickup, move it from the job back to a storage location.
Yes. Schedule the job, review employee availability, send offers to work, and keep the confirmed crew and job briefing connected to the property.
Yes. Clients use secure links to review estimates, sign approvals, view invoices, and pay online without setting up a Portara login.
Employees submit time against the jobs they worked. You review and approve the hours, then sync approved timecards to Square Payroll or export payroll-ready data for another provider.
