PortSpace.ioEvery ordered item, from factory to floor
Once an item is ordered, the question changes from what is it to where is it. The portal answers that continuously — acknowledged, in production, shipped, delivered, received, installed — and raises its hand when something slips.
Purchase orders the vendor acknowledges at a link
Raise a PO from checked specifications and send it; the vendor acknowledges with their name and an expected ship date at a link of their own — no account, no sign-in — and can send shop drawings and cut sheets against the lines, which wait for your approval on each item.
RFQs that price the specs for you
Request quotes the same way: the vendor types unit prices and lead times at their link, and Apply writes the answers onto the specifications as cost, with the vendor as supplier, logged on each item.
Changes are revisions, not emails
A purchase order stays editable after it is issued; the changes gather into a banner, Issue revision numbers them, and the vendor gets a change notice at their link. An acknowledged order goes back to Issued until they acknowledge the revision.
Late shows up before the client asks
Expediting tracks every ordered item’s stage, expected and actual dates, carrier and tracking. An item due in the next three days shows amber; late — past the expected ship date and not shipped, or past expected delivery and not delivered — turns red. Each says it in words (“arrives Sun”, “2 days late”), is counted on the tab and shows on the item’s own page.
Receiving, and claims that chase themselves
Book arrivals in against the order line: how many, the condition, where they were put, photos from a phone. Anything damaged, short or wrong opens a claim and alerts the managers and accountants who chase the credit; every open claim across the firm sits on one list.
Installation visits that know what is ready
Each visit lists its items with a readiness dot drawn from expediting and receiving, so a visit whose goods have not arrived shows before anyone drives out. Marking the visit done stamps its items installed — and an installer signed in as a contractor can do that from the site.
