The client is the job
The fitting should know the pull. The return list should know the purchases. The invoice should know the package and what the client kept. Portara keeps every operational detail attached to the same client job.
One client record for the session, the pieces, and the business behind them.

Questions, answered
Portara follows the way styling work already happens—one client, with the package, pieces, appointments, receipts, returns, payments, and hours attached.
Portara manages the business operations around every styling client: packages, estimates, deposits, job products, purchases, receipts, vendor returns, employee scheduling, invoices, payments, and timesheets.

Bring your next styling client into Portara. The package, pull, purchases, returns, assistants, invoices, payments, and hours will already know where they belong.
