Portara

What it does: Portara is job-centric business management software for service businesses, keeping work, people, products, paperwork, payments, notes, and changes attached to each job.
Who it is for: Portara names professional organizers, home stagers, interior designers, event planners, wedding vendors, personal stylists, caterers, house cleaners, and landscape designers among its intended users.
Estimates and deposits: Clients can review and electronically sign estimates from a link without a Portara account, and estimates can include a required deposit.
Invoicing: Portara tracks billed and remaining amounts by job item and can prepare invoices with the remaining amounts selected.
Inventory limit: Portara says its inventory feature is not warehouse software; it checks job needs against stock and calculates what remains to purchase.
Scheduling and time: Team features include employee availability, work offers, job briefings, time entry, and manager approval of hours.
Payment options: The site lists online card payments through Stripe, in-person tap-to-pay through Square, Venmo, Zelle, cash, and check.
Payroll integration: Approved time can be synced to Square Payroll or exported as a CSV or PDF payroll report.
Security and privacy: Portara says data is encrypted and automatically backed up; its privacy policy says it does not sell personal information for money or use application data for advertising.
Support: Portara includes personal setup, and says support questions are answered by a real person, usually within a business day.
Browser access: Portara works in a browser and can be saved to a phone’s home screen like an app, with no app store installation required.
